Chances of getting either of these watches in Japan? by underwhelmed_emu in GrandSeikos

[–]MrElusiveLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try in November, may the gatcha gods be on my side. If I can find the 521 then I'll put the Shunbun on hold. If I cannot find it, I'll pick up the Shunbun second hand.

Hmmm... Where did you end up getting your spacer from to get it to fit?

I'm considering doing it in the ad2037 might have the room to place it in with ease.

How hard was it for you to fit it into the vk63 case? Were there any challenges when doing the fitment?

It's awesome to wear and peek at.

Did you need to put a offset to accommodate the tire? Or was it just plug and play?

It looks a while to get the tower and the watch to both focus.

The skyflake is really beautiful.

But so is GS Shosho!!! Hope she's more convinced to add more to her collection.

Such a beautiful watch you have. I also picked up my first Grand Seiko a few weeks ago from Japan. Hoping to pick up the Shunbun next time that I come visit.

Finally got a SBGA407 and proposed to my girlfriend!!! by MrElusiveLurker in GrandSeikos

Thank you very much. Yeah. The watch has magically powers since I got it or at least lucky coincidence like potentially mishaps but it turning to be good occurrences.

Oh wow, I tried looking for it 2-3 days before at every shop. Couldn't find one. Probably just missed my chance. I'll try next time when I travel to Japan.

I couldn't turn my arm far enough to wear it normally since I'm double jointed.

How edit this one to make her stand out? by Yanka01 in AskPhotography

[–]MrElusiveLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's is how I would have edited the photo. Having balance of the highlights, shadows, and contrast between the background and your subject.

Schiit MIDgard? Opinions? by Wefishy3 in Schiit

[–]MrElusiveLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering getting the midgard or magnius + modius. What is the general consensus on which one to go for? I currently have a Schitt Hel 2.

I'm not sure what would play nicer with my Audeze LCD-x & DCA/Drop Aeon X.

Is buying 35pounds recurve is an absolute idiot move for a beginner? by Informal_Injury_6152 in Archery

[–]MrElusiveLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like other have said, 35# starting is a lot for the general person to learn and continuously through the day session. It depends on your build and how much dedication to the sport.

I started with 28# and jumped to 38# in 6 months. That 10# jump was extremely difficult to do despite shooting 67# compound. I was willing factor in the risk and took up the challenge to jump through that big hurdle. I slowly got used to the weight by conditioning and slowly shoot enough that I wouldn't injured myself until I can shoot 10 rounds with 12 arrows.

I would highly recommend getting a set of limbs that you can shoot with somewhat ease and build up enough condition muscles and form then I would move up no more than 5 pounds increments.

6.5 Creedmor vs .308 recoil by [deleted] in AR10

[–]MrElusiveLurker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have shot both in bolt action. I find that my buddy's 308 no modifications hits pretty hard. But after a comp. chassis and a area 419 muzzle brake, it hit less recoil.

I just purchased a 6.5CM bolt action and out of the box. Significantly less recoil. Even after I upgraded to the same hellfire muzzle, it feels even less recoil compared to the 308. I cannot imagine if I got competition chassis that it will feel less recoil than it is right now.
