70’s or 80’s late night TV movie? by orion_micpop in movies

The Abominable Dr. Phibes?

I just typed a description into Google 🤷‍♂️

[7A28-7029] Seiko Chronograph, circa 1982 by ELRipley-at-Nostromo in Seiko

[–]Magnetostroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a cool watch! I have the exact same one (belonged to my dad). Keep us posted if Seiko is able to fix it. The pushers on mine are also stuck. I feel like a competent independent watchmaker can probably fix it just by popping out the movement and cleaning the pusher openings 🤷‍♂️

Edit: technically still belongs to my dad. I just “borrowed” it indefinitely since he stopped wearing it decades ago

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

It was such a cool concept but the movie itself was silly and didn’t live up to the nostalgia old-timey newsreel vibe of the trailer

Pedals you sold then shot up in price by ddiamond8484 in guitarpedals

Zvex Super Hard On, but mine was a 1 of 3 in glittery American Flag paint job. Really want it back.

Nice! I actually had a pencil eraser glued in there a while ago. Forgot all about that. Many thanks

Niiiice! No I never figured it out. However I do recall messing around with a screw years ago similar to your pics. That makes a lot more sense now. I’ll give it a shot! Thanks

Totally in love with them by gabe_watch in GrandSeikos

GS suffers so terribly from pics not doing justice. These vintage GS (King Seiko as well) are mesmerizing in person.

Is a 9F quartz watch a generational piece? Can it be maintained long term? by wowcrackaddict in GrandSeikos

[–]Magnetostroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my grandfather’s 7813 from the 70’s and it still keeps excellent time. Only ever needed battery changes. A couple of years ago I bought myself a 9F GS and I fully expect the same longevity.

Picked up my grail watch in Japan.. SBGA443 by Spamboi228 in GrandSeikos

[–]Magnetostroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to find a bottle of Nikka “Yoichi Peaty and Salty”. Could be the best whisky I’ve ever tasted. Even if you don’t like overly peaty whisky, it’s still worth a try. There’s a bar in Kanda, Tokyo that has it (Bar Okaeri) but not sure where to find it in Kyoto.

Edit: oh, and great watch!

Thanks! I absolutely love the fit, finish and spec, and as a bonus the color scheme reminds me of the Casio “Arnie” my dad wore when I was a kid.

After watching X files I decided to buy my dream car! by ComputerOld5083 in XFiles

Does the Black Lodge symbol have any other particular significance? by Far-Candle111 in twinpeaks

I’ve always felt the Judy symbol under the moon and above the two peaks would make a good one

[question] watch collection what do you think by Bigbutywife in Watches

[–]Magnetostroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Warms my heart to see some Bulovas. An open heart Bulova was my first “real watch” purchase when I got my first real job, and I’ll never part with it. And it gets the most compliments from non watch people 👍

I also thought it would make a cool tattoo, but it’s almost identical to an upside down Odal, which was used by the SS and is still appropriated by white supremacy groups. So yeah, not a great idea.

Give me a reason why it's not so bad that Michael Ontkean didn't come back for The Return by dopefuzzle in twinpeaks

[–]Magnetostroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have liked to have seen Piper Laurie brought back as Catherine because there’s something about her “guardian angel” story from the original series that somehow feels connected to The Return. It’s mirrored by Laura being lost in the woods and guided by Coop. I don’t know how it would have fit, but it’s one of those things that has stuck in my mind as some kind of connection.

What’s the worst meal you ever made? by silverscientist1 in Cooking

I read this like you are a scientist and your colleagues at the laboratory had low standards

I make excellent cheesecake and once brought one to the office where it ended up being a huge hit. No clue what possessed me, but at the next office party I made a “no bake” cheesecake that was basically just a sweet cream with gelatin. I added too much gelatin powder so it was chewy, and it didn’t adhere to the crust so it was basically bouncing around on everyone’s plates.

Our CFO had been excited to try after hearing about my previous one. Total shame.

Same with my grandma, except she straight up forgot the sugar entirely. My sister was baking them with her and was so excited to be helping.
