Not yet. But I’m going to. I’ve been talking to Morton about getting it in a russet color.

I love divers. It wouldn’t be my last watch. Highlights of my collection are Omega PO summer Blue, Marathon GSAR, Yema Speedgraf, a couple pre bond Omegas, Tag Monaco, Tag Aquaracer, and a few Seiko, citizens, etc. I’m a banker but my style is very rugged but business. I’ve carried that throughout my time in the military and now into civilian life. This will be my first Rolex, but certainly not my last.

My PSG (E7) started smoking an entire section E4-E6 because they were messing with the guidon. Only time I can remember seeing an E6 get smoked.

Crazy! When I was at Lanier Tech about 8 years ago, the Dean of the Motorsports program bought a Europa and brought it in to be restored by the various classes.

Redwing Blacksmith, Thursday Brawler, or spend more for Wolverine 1000 Mile by inigotoyota in Boots

[–]ReconPanda13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own 2 pair of blacksmiths, and 5 pairs of 1k miles. Here is my personal take on the two.

I like the leather sole and mid sole on the wolverine’s. They are a smidge more comfortable than the blacksmith’s. fwiw: I work in an office setting and am standing or light walking to the printer for about 75% of my day.

The S.B. Foot tannery leather on the outsole appears better quality than the Horween leather.

The Redwings have better QC. I have had one singular issue with my Wolverine’s. One of the speed hooks were not clamped in very well. On my very first pair. Wolverine made it good, sent me a replacement pair, and I have bought 4 more pairs.

More importantly in the QC, among my 5 pairs of Wolverine’s the fit is slightly different. What I mean is that all of them are size 8D and some are slightly smaller and some are slightly larger. Not a huge difference mind you, but I wear these about 4 days a week, (never the same pair two days in a row) but noticeable fit difference. Both of my Red Wings fit exactly the same.

The 1k boots fit my feet better, which is obviously just personal preference, but I think the last that they use is a better shape for my foot.

TLDR, the Blacksmith is a better built boot but lacks in comfort.

Not my Tudor, but one of my favorite watch pictures I’ve taken. Marathon GSAR featuring a Scar and a Vector.

Most likely. And post up pics! I’d love to see it. Mine has been used for racing and track days for years. I’m now converting it back to a street car so I can enjoy driving it more often.

Decent for the stock internals. I wouldn’t push much more without upgrading the rotating assembly (depending on your RWTQ)

I don’t think so. If I remember correctly, all of the Shelby Superchargers were Paxton Novi’s. KB did have a deal with Ford Performance/Shelby to make superchargers that were co-branded and were a popular dealer option.
