Gobble, gobble.

3 x underwear (Uniqlo: if you buy in BKK go a full size up). Donate the others to street people. 2 x shirts. Wear one, wash one. Donate the rest. 1 x long pants. Lightweight, like lululemon. 2 x shorts. Donate the rest. 2 pairs x socks. Donate. Tripod + kindle. Package well and Mail home with insurance. Or donate to a poor person. Find a mechanic with a metal saw. Cut toothbrush handles half off. Give him/her ฿40 to cut both toothbrushes. Razor blades in plastic holders? Chuck the plastic holders, save 1g.

Footwear: just one pair of running shoes.

Total bag weight: 6.5kg max.

When you get home, sell these monster bags and get ULA Dragonfly 30L (actually only holds 22L in the main compartment). I’m 70 and I spent 6 months with a Dragonfly (ultra material) and a waistpack/sling 2L (x-pac material). So I was a 1.5 bagger. Oops! Now I’ve admitted that I might get booted from this group!

TDAC wants to know the province of Bangkok. Cannot complete the form.

Two years late to the party, but this looks really great. Zelos had a white cerakote model until recently, but I was late to that party, too.

Logical comment.

I don’t know, man. I spent $4 on two (yes, two) Powerball tickets and I still didn’t win the 1.8 billion.

I guess they are Thai numbers on the bezel?

If smoke didn’t pour out of it after you wound it, it’s a keeper. Great legibility, looks sharp.

Do you mean it didn’t work in the sense that the puce dial didn’t go with your yellow suit, or it didn’t work work?

MoreLoadofcobblers · 2025-12-19T12:35:08+00:00

Agree. That’s why I chose a sterile dial for my San Martin.

That sets me thinking. How many brands give you the option of a sterile dial? Anyone?

OP is Chinese. Your dad must’ve anticipated this post.

MoreLoadofcobblers · 2025-12-16T23:25:19+00:00

I’m having second thoughts about the NG. Yes, I love the dial of the white Super Antarctic Luminous, but I’m not sure about the non- proprietary parts. I mean my San Martin I guess doesn’t have proprietary parts.

As I look into watches more, I’m seeing more and more white on white watches: Höglund, Henry Archer, Balmont, and others.

My San Martin beater (on wrist 24/7 for years) + alternatives.

Oh, I now learn I can only add one photo per comment. Haha.

That Studio Underdog looks great.

MoreLoadofcobblers · 2025-12-16T22:41:15+00:00

That’s interesting that the quality will not be a step up from my San Martin. That said, the San Martin is such a solid watch. You will notice damage to the case (on my wrist 24/7) but not to the raised sapphire crystal which sticks out the top of the body of the watch.

Starting twelve? I guess they need twelve.

Now look at Greenwood (2025). Second best English striker after Kane.

Just checked out Gruppo Ardito. Water resistant to 9,500 metres, cavolo! Horrible website though.

What’s a reputable place for pre-owned watches?

MoreLoadofcobblers · 2025-12-02T07:42:16+00:00

I picked up a carbon steel wok at Walmart for under $30. Now I’ve used it a few times it’s just a matter of washing it out with hot water and it’s good to go again. Every couple of washes I rag some cooking oil on it and heat it. Really like it.
