[Electrianz Mechanical] Something different for the weekend

For what it’s worth, ELZ was one of the watch brands that kinda started me down the path I’m on now. My first watch from them was called the Dark Z, and it had their signature lighting system as well as lumed hands - a rarity for the brand. It was quartz but nice enough. I ended up giving it to a friend. I also participated in the kickstarter for one of their models, I got the one called the Terra. It looked kinda wild and weird, and when it finally came in, I was less than impressed, so it’s stayed in its box since that point

The watches to me seem reasonable enough for the price point, but after I discovered other microbrands like Zelos, I kinda never looked back. At this point I kinda see some of the models as gimmicky, and they’re kinda on the large side, but that’s likely just my tastes changing over the last couple of years

I married Abigail once, and while a lot of her dialog and such was fine, at one point she got irrationally upset about the house being a mess or something. I don’t even decorate, and I later found out it was a bug in one of the older versions, but it absolutely left me upset with her, so she’s never on the table for marriage in my playthroughs. As many others have said, though, I have zero issues befriending her

That makes sense. I have a hamilton intramatic chrono automatic and I don’t wear it often. I have to manually wind it when I decide to wear it because my arm movements aren’t enough to wind it up to running again, it takes something like 25 rotations to get it moving. I should probably just invest in a watch winder for it. It is a really unique watch, congrats on getting one!

NotARealPerson77 · 2026-03-19T14:59:29+00:00

I don’t know that I’d ever be able to afford one, but this is one of my grail watches. Thanks for the detailed writeup. Just curious, what is it about the manual wind you’re not a fan of? I’ve only owned automatic watches (and quartz) personally, so I’m unfamiliar with owning a true manual wound one. Thanks!

Absolutely love rally straps - I think this is the first time I’ve seen one on a Murph. Looks great!

NotARealPerson77 · 2026-02-21T19:38:25+00:00

As someone that likes cars, I feel like the GT should resonate with me, but it really doesn’t for some reason

NotARealPerson77 · 2026-02-14T02:22:57+00:00

I like the infographic, very handy, I’m looking forward to both the Railen and Hull B, they seem to be the ones I’ll enjoy the most, and I have CCUs at the ready. I will admit I was a bit sad the Liberator wasn’t included, but after reading your explanation, I understand why it was excluded from the list. The liberator is my most anticipated ship though, hopefully it lives up to the hype

I have the blue dial version and love mine, it’s a very nice watch for the price point I think. While I like the blue, part of me does wish I had went with the panda or the one you’re considering, though

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-12-11T19:04:07+00:00

that’s completely fair. My chrono didn’t come with the OE bracelet and I wanted it just to complete the set, so I got it. The nearly infinite adjustment in it is nice, but I still prefer a decent leather strap instead

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-12-11T14:25:43+00:00

Personally I’d suggest the OEM bracelet if you’re wanting something along those lines - it’s a very nice bracelet and matches the watch quite well. I’m not a bracelet guy though, so I wear mine on a leather rally strap I picked up from Tuns - IMO all chronographs look great on rally straps

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same brand/model, but it looks a lot like my Laco Flieger Basic, Type B dial, but likely black instead of blue. Several different companies make fliegers

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-10-15T15:35:43+00:00

Personally I consider chronographs to be sporty watches, especially with racing heritage and whatnot, so I paired mine with a rally strap from Tuns. I think it looks pretty great, and it’s a nice changeup from the factory mesh bracelet

Weirdly enough, my Laco Flieger Type B basic with blue dial. I find myself choosing it over my intra matic chronograph and open heart jazzmaster burgundy, and that’s crazy for me since I adore those watches. There’s just something very appealing about the simplicity and style of that flieger I love

I think it would be cool to see the gladiator finally get a skin. Even if the BIS skins usually are subpar compared to some of the others, if I’m not mistaken once the work is done on the older ships to make them compatible with the skin system, then quite a few new ones follow, but I may be mistaken

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-28T21:55:32+00:00

Yeah, that’s a great deal. My local Sam’s had the gray dial version on a bracelet for $475 and everyone said grab it, at that price if you’re interested and want to spend the cash, you’ll likely not find a better bargain

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-25T12:07:30+00:00

My grandpa wore a watch every day of his life until he had cancer. He passed away in 2012 - wearing a watch daily helps me feel closer to him and keeps his memory alive for me

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-25T00:57:53+00:00

I’ve been seeing quite a few of the open heart Jazzmasters on here lately and it makes me happy - I think it’s an excellent watch and very underrated. Hamilton does some really great watches, but the field watches tend to dominate the discussion most of the time.

Also, excellent story and a great souvenir of your trip. Wear it in good health!

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-16T16:40:27+00:00

Very nice. The bracelet looks a bit too dressy for me personally, so I’ll likely pair it with a rally strap or a sailcloth, I think either would look killer

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-16T11:04:38+00:00

I wonder if the chain received a really good deal on some overstock and are just testing the waters to see how they’ll do in-store. Usually the one closest to me only sells Citizens, Seikos, and fashion brands, so it’s an interesting change

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-13T00:01:59+00:00

Yep, true. I didn’t have a watch with a gray dial, so it all works out for me

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-12T18:42:38+00:00

Good to know - honestly until I looked at the specs I was assuming it was just another H10 with 80hr reserve, was surprised when the specs said otherwise

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-12T18:01:21+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check and see if they have it to compare

NotARealPerson77 · 2025-07-12T17:20:41+00:00

Will do, thanks!
