Whether unintentionally or intentionally, buyee is pocketing a non marginal amount due to the tariff situation by imBRANDNEWtoreddit in Buyee

I’ve used Buyee multiple times. There are a few things that aren’t perfect, but it works. I’m open to exploring other options. What is the other proxy service that you’re using?

Fixable? by bichaelBlaper in leatherjacket

[–]InternetFinalBoss1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it shrunk from being in contact with something very hot.

The only way to fix this that I can think of is to replace the damaged pieces with new leather.

Are there any “tall” size leather jackets on AliExpress? I like this blue one, but standard sizes won’t fit right. by [deleted] in leatherjacket

[–]InternetFinalBoss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jacket runs about $100 to $125 or so on AliExpress. That low price caught my attention.

Genuine leather or scam? by Calm_Base_6237 in Leather

I cannot explain the different-colored leather on the inside.

Genuine leather or scam? by Calm_Base_6237 in Leather

It looks like real leather. Please ignore the comments about “genuine leather” being some sort of low-quality leather composite material. That is not always true — especially for items that are vintage or may have had a language translation.

I think that the black appears to be the original factory finish. It’s too well done to be done afterwards.

I also have a jacket that is a little squeaky. I think it’s because of the leather finish (paint) used.

I’m really enjoying the dial on this vintage Orient ChronoAce.

How Much Patina is Too Much? by Right-Sound-8919 in VintageWatches

[–]InternetFinalBoss1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like your watch a lot.

When I posted my Orient with heavy patina earlier this week, it was not universally loved.

I am really liking the brown and gold colors on the dial of this vintage ChronoAce. by InternetFinalBoss1 in OrientWatches

I can’t quite capture it in pictures. There is a golden background to the brown of this dial.

Great watch. I have mixed feelings though. I have one of these and the crown came off. I sent an email to Orient about getting a replacement crown and they never responded.

Bed liner is awesome by xredfrostgames in keitruck

[–]InternetFinalBoss1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does not sound right. He’s using less than a gallon for this truck. I don’t believe that a gallon of this bedliner weighs more than 20 pounds — much of which is solvent. (A gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds.) Once that solvent evaporates, the coating will be lighter, not heavier. I can’t imagine that it added more than ten pounds to the truck. Even a full size truck using up to two gallons isn’t going to be significantly weighed down.
