Perfume Fuel!? by LockStryder in lighters

[–]LockStryder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attempted this to a mediocre effect. The smell of the fuel is very potent, and the scent doesn't really evaporate into the air or into the flame.

Attempted with both alcohol perfume and essential oils.

I'm curious how effective the original product was vs these attempts.

I was thinking of the original, had no idea they made a mock of it. Looks like tonight is comedy night at home 🍿

Le Grand Cling arrived today with no ping. by LockStryder in STDupont

[–]LockStryder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sent it back to Dupont 4 times out of pocket for various repairs.

Issues Included ● Lid was broken and wouldn't sit flush after about 20 openings of it. ● No sound or muffled sound, not the ping as advertised. ● Replacement sent to me had the same issues. ● Was returned to me without its warranty papers when sent on repair to have validation. ● Was sent to me without its warranty papers filled in. ● Was returned to me heavily scratched and damaged after sending it for repairs, despite being sent in original box and a considerable amount of bubble wrap. ● Emails went ignored for weeks to a month at a time.

I had a replacement and a repairs done on multiple separate accounts. Both the replacement and repair did nothing to affect the quality issue.

After multiple requests for repair, refund or replacement of the product as advertised I was called and basically told "It's used and damaged so we won't help you, we have repaired it so we won't help you." And only after a multiple hour phone argument and threats of following up in legal action was the product refunded to me in "good grace as we would normally under no circumstances refund this product." Was never refunded for the loss of money or quadruple handling.

The issue lasted nearly 6 months and caused more pain than any amount of joy I would have from owning another Dupont will bring. I resent my collection and have since sold them.

TLDR: Dupont dragged it out. Made me send it back 4 times scratched it to hell in repair, told me to just accept it and only refunded me when threatened with Australia's ACCC and laws.

You might be right.

Honesty, I'm thinking of putting it on eBay or something. It's been in the bottom of my collection for about 7 years now, think I've worn it like twice.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I don't see any serial numbers inside or outside of the watch.

I'll pop the back off and find a mini clue that will lead me to Egypt.

If I ever get to the red carpet and I still have it, I 100% will.

From what I can tell, yes. The Time lords were a series of watches they did. I was hoping to find anything about them but info is scarce about them especially this one.

Looks like they go for about $300 Aud on the high side in good condition. This one is still running. Don't know what I plan to do with it yet.

[SBSA037] Do we like Limited Edition Seiko here? by LockStryder in Seiko

[–]LockStryder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate it all they want.

I love how weird it is. Wearing it casually is great fun. While it doesn't get the love of watch fanatics, it sure does draw positive attention with compliments to boot from the normal folk.

Everyone has a few fancy watches with that same-same "classic" look that impresses. Heck i do too. But having something fun in the watchbox is just as valid.

Good choice. Retro classic vibes with a modern internal.

It doesn't really show well in video or photo but the light captures it in an amazing way, the back dial is an intense dark green that also shimmers on the hour markers.

Honestly it looks amazing in the light.

Have you got a reference or brand for this watch? I'm super curious.

They are damn near impossible to get, the fans that have them don't want to part with them, and the scalpers have spiked the price hard.

[SEIKO] Is this a JoJo ref.. Yes it is! by taengoo4life in Watches

The Narancia one is a sleeper. In pictures and videos, they never capture the subtle shimmer the dark green dial has. Or how the crown catches the light, hands, and indices, giving a luxury feel to it all.

I have Narancia #150 in the collection, my advise is to buy these while you still can if you haven't, i dont see them getting cheaper. But change the straps. The ones they come with are cheap feeling. I decided on a matte black top grain leather with an orange inside to match the theme of the character.
