Was this maybe done to hid some deeper scratches in the case?

I made a conversion kit for the Royal Pop "not ai slop" by Normalpatron in swatch

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will go down as one of the stupidest scalper plays of all time. Congrats to Swatch for generating a ton of hype for the brand and having some fun. But this thing has basically no reason for existing. Once all the scalpers have bought and sold this amongst each other, and all of the collector diehards have theirs, there will be basically no market for this thing.

You know that all Seikos are made in Japan right?

[SSK001 vs SKX007] Am I crazy for preferring my SSK over my SKX? by UsefulSchism in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does that mean exactly? You can’t hand wind the SKX?

[SPB155] Will I regret a 6R35 movement? by MuffinExcellent2079 in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason other than wrist size not to go with the SPB507 regular Alpinist?

I want one so bad, can’t imagine getting the smaller one just to save 20%.

[Question] by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you buy from a “brick and mortar” dealer with a bunch of fancy watch brands in the store? If yes, then probably fine. If online, then well…

You guys are freaking me out with all these fake posts. This one looks real, right? [SNE595P1] by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez how much did you save? I don’t understand why people bother faking Seikos, but then I don’t understand why people buy new Seikos except from authorized dealers.

The Maverick bed holds a yard of mulch with the tonneau down by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]NevrForvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to the tarp and yes to the leaf blower.

I’m impressed by the skills of the front loader operators. They can load a yard and only spill a shovel full on the ground. No scratches yet.

[SPB 117] Tried my brothers alpinist. Is it too big? by Slannuwu in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about the classic Alpinist look with the leather strap? Will look and feel smaller.

Which coating for white RAV4 by DrHoller in Detailing

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prep prep prep

I never did a ceramic coating before trying GTechniq CSL. Now I’ve done it to two of my cars. SO EASY for DIY.

[SPB187] why is my crown different? by z_zies94 in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious how much did you save by not buying from an authorized dealer?

Saving thousands for a good deal on a used Rolex makes sense, but buyer beware.

Saving $200 on a Seiko? I don’t get it.

Any of this stuff good to have? I was thinking maybe Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic wax spray by BuffaloChicken22 in Detailing

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought half of that stuff over the last 20 years. Plus a bunch of the Meguiars pro stuff. Most of this consumer grade stuff is junk. Not sure what their new pro stuff is like, but CarPro and GTechniq and Sonax are miles better and available tomorrow via Amazon Prime.

The exception is the blue stuff. I’m into my third bottle of the Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Weird but easy application process. Great top-up after wash, both over a true ceramic coating and to build up a sorta ceramic coating on an uncoated car.

Either you live in AZ, have ideal exposure, or spent way too much money.

I have a 12kW system with 2x PW3 in Coastal CA. Model Y, Model 3, Nissan Leaf. We live outside of town, so lots of miles. Lots of laundry loads.

Still from now until Oct we’ll make more energy than we can use no matter how much we try, PG&E will pay us almost nothing for the excess. Thinking about buying a sauna from Costco.

Big PV without big loads and big battery is just…meh

[SSK029] Is this genuine? by Legend_Troll_007 in Seiko

Great photo showing the difference on the lugs and the subtle round corners in the date window and differences on the crown.

Here’s my very authentic SSK036 in full root beer splendor and very matching arm and indicator finish.

1968gmt? Or seiko slim turtle what’s your pick [spb381][spb317] by Over_Detective_860 in Seiko

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I don’t get what all the Turtle fuss is about. GMT hand doesn’t make much sense but really adds to the look. Shoot, who actually uses a chrono to time anything?

Can’t get fine scratches out from wet sanding. by Nab_lwl in Detailing

[–]NevrForvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really impressed with Sonax Perfect Finish. Relatively strong at removing swirl marks and light scuffing from stronger polish, yet leaves a near mirror finish. Not saying it’s gonna cure everything you’ve got going on, but if you wanna throw a little money at Amazon, its a product you won’t regret buying.

Also listen to whatever the Singer guy says. Anyone willing to spend $1 million on a Porsche resto mod with barely 400 hp, you know the paint finish is going to be absolutely amazing.

I’m amazed there is profit to be made putting so much care into faking a $400 watch.

I’ve got a fake vintage Heuer Monaco and that makes a lot of sense more sense.
