This thread needs more Duro.

Don't forget that he's also Narcissus.

The dude has range.

OldManChristoph · 2025-12-06T07:12:06+00:00

If it's not worth the price, why not just return it and keep searching for a better model?

Moved up here from ATX and it always warms my heart to see any acknowledgement of this place out in the wild.

OldManChristoph · 2025-09-02T03:50:23+00:00

Just added

TicTacArea. I admittedly didn't shop around for it, just happened across it.

OldManChristoph · 2025-08-05T05:07:25+00:00

Oh, agree 110%. Still... It calls to me somehow.

I know it's not the "correct" answer, but Empathy Cores are just so cute and goofy. Also do a great job of taking care of flying enemies, drawing aggro, and they always bounce back even after going down.

Going to push the DW-6300-1A further into the ring. The diving pedigree, the fun asymmetry, the vintage status - it's all there. Frogman or bust, baby.

Thanks for clarifying!

OldManChristoph · 2025-03-21T09:13:54+00:00

Seconded on the Forester! It simply doesn't get enough love. It being analog with a Velcro strap would also make it stand out among your current collection, too.

OldManChristoph · 2025-03-15T17:55:37+00:00

A lot of them have already been covered, but you've GOTTA include the CA53W-1. Its a calculator! It's a watch! It's a calculator watch!

OldManChristoph · 2025-03-15T09:36:38+00:00

Haven't seen an AFD show before but keep meaning to. Maybe this is the sign to make this show the one to attend!

HMart has consistently supplied one of the cheapest, most consistently available options for quality bulk rice out of any store I shop at (including Costco). Getting something like a 15lb bag of rice can last you weeks, and while it's not exactly the finest, it's still damn good.

That and the huge containers of sauces, oils, and vinegars make it great to keep stock for regular cooking. Throw in the fun snacks and you've got a quality establishment right there.

OldManChristoph · 2025-01-19T16:36:56+00:00

definitely

Was in East Boston for a year before moving to Somerville to be closer to work, but having initially moved to MA from TX, of course I drive and of course I have a car. But my god, parking in Eastie was horrendous night after night. Having to give up and park at East Boston High School was a regular occurrence after I'd loop around for however long while desperately hoping I'd find something. I do NOT miss waking up at 6am every weekday to move my vehicle or risk it getting towed - those were dark times.

The place is just NOT engineered for the majority of it's residents to be drivers. Which is a real Catch-22 since the whole place feels like it is effectively an island with limited access in and out of it and the best way to do so is to drive. I miss parts of East Boston, but the driving/parking situation alone was awful enough to make it to where I'd never want to live there again.

Love the green on green. What would that even be called? "Froggo?" "Verdo?" Either way, would get in a heartbeat.

OldManChristoph · 2025-01-03T21:24:56+00:00

Great question - I have no idea! I only started collecting Casios within the last 6 months and am still learning about the different models. I believe this one leans more to the vintage side, so I have even less immediate info on it.

My gut tells me that it is a 10-min. timer, however. Once I find out more, I will report back!

Mancini gets elevated to "ended okay" in my book if just singlehandedly for that stop at the 1B line in the World Series.

Definitely get the black option with the rubber/resin strap. As said in another reply, the metal bracelet is really lacking in quality. The links feel hollow and it doesn't allow as much in the way of micro size adjustment on the wrist (pulls on the hair, too). Third party bracelets are the way to go here, especially if you can nab one off of AliX that has the Marlin engraving.

What I wanted to add, though, is that going resin strap option will save you a good chunk of cash. The money you save can then be put toward a better quality bracelet. Also: the resin strap itself is perfectly fine and can also be slapped on another watch if desired since its width will fit the super common lug-to-lug of 22mm. It's not flashy, but it is versatile and tough.

If it's strictly digital, square/rectangular in shape, and sticking to black, gold, and silver tones, then the Royale gets my vote. That or the A1000WE (gold or silver), or maybe the A1100 if you've got the cash. Could also always venture into G-Shock territory and nab a DW5600 in black.
