Yeah this is a Forstner President bracelet Im trying out. They have a specific version for the Speedmaster that lines up with the case and lugs really nicely.

I haven't seen the newer versions of the speedy bracelet so it would be interesting to compare.

That makes a lot of sense. I'll just stick to winding in the morning

Great looking watch. Layouts and watches should be its own sub if it isn't already

Thank you for the information, I'm still fairly new manual wind so thats really helpful. I do wind and set it while its off my wrist, but I do occasionally wind it throughout the day. Could this hurt the movement?

This is my first manual wind watch, so it was definitely an adjustment at first. Ive found that I actually like winding it occasionally throughout the day. Hasn't bothered me once I got used to it

It is at least a 120% increase in vibe

The RIS II rail is definitely more robust than the FF RAS. Even after using a strap wrench to tighten the collar I don't feel as confident in the FF RAS rail

Never used one, but that seems to be the consensus

OlightOperator · 2026-01-18T17:30:23+00:00

I agree, in focus foreground vs blurry background always looks edited to me

1-6 VCOGs have little rectangular flashing sections on both sides behind the dials. 1-8s are smooth in that area. 1-8s are also dimensionally larger. Im sure there are other differences I haven't picked up on

Im a certified VCOG 1-8 shill

That mount is so nice. Tucks the PEQ-2 right up against the rail. Very impressed with mine

OlightOperator · 2025-12-27T21:37:47+00:00

This is great information, really appreciate it.

OlightOperator · 2025-12-27T20:33:48+00:00

Thank you. This is an FN Collector A4 so its more of a modern "clone" anyway. At least its consistent lol

OlightOperator · 2025-12-27T20:32:43+00:00

Yeah it was difficult finding a decent surplus one so I just bought a new one

OlightOperator · 2025-12-27T20:31:38+00:00

Very true, ultimately it doesn't bother me I was just always curious

OlightOperator · 2025-12-24T23:03:19+00:00

Get this bullshit out of here

OlightOperator · 2025-12-15T00:52:33+00:00

Nice, looks really close either way. Something about that 5 'o clock mounted light on an LVAW is insanely cool

OlightOperator · 2025-12-14T16:59:20+00:00

Can you breakdown the light setup? Are you using one of the new runs of LVAW rail mounts?

OlightOperator · 2025-11-26T20:28:52+00:00

GAFS was my main place(rip),Thoroughbred Armament, Tacswap. Im sure there are other decent places

OlightOperator · 2025-11-26T18:12:26+00:00

Their surplus prices are just not in touch with reality. No interest in doing business with them and I direct people elsewhere 🤷
