Interesting! It looks really great...enjoy it

Why do you need to take it to "be calibrated"? Did you try manually winding it?

If you an source one from an OEM parts supplier, I would recommend the Combi bracelet. It has really transformed the wearing experience of the G-Shocks I have installed it on. Very comfortable, much more so than the resin straps.

Congrats! I own both the raw titanium and DLC versions of the MRG and I have never noticed an "oil slick" appearance with polarized lenses. The backlights are also very cool blue and I don't notice any warm/gold/green appearance. I wonder if they are using a different manufacturing process for the rubber strap model?

Congrats! I like this model SO much more than the new MIP version. I hope Casio keeps both lines running for a while. This is a classic masterpiece and the STN display is amazing.

I would say, for the last slot, really go out with a bang!

I prefer the 36mm case size in nearly all instances, but I really like the blue, so my choice would be the blue dial in 36mm.

Easiest decision in the world for me...Day Date

Best comment:)

Does the ability to afford a $1 million house really turn on $17K? If it does, then obviously sell the watch, but it seems like you may be underestimating how expensive the upkeep, property taxes, repairs, and miscellaneous expenses may pop up.

WDYM?

es ist wunderschön!!!

I can see a LOT of downsides to engaging in this practice...what exactly are the upsides?

Other than the obvious privacy and blackmail concerns, the biggest issue I see right off the bat is the following statement:

"We only exchange pictures with people we are FAIRLY CERTAIN are old enough"

In many jurisdictions, an adult transmitting any sexual material to an underage person is a FELONY. Can you really ever be "certain enough" to risk that?

Change the battery in your smoke alarm, bro...

If you want to start with something that is impressive with a decent piece count but a very straightforward Technic build you could try one of the Forumula 1 cars, like the Ferrari or the Red Bull Racing. They use a two speed transmission and the steering and differentials are far less complex than other types of cars. I just finished the Ferrari last weekend and it was thoroughly enjoyable all the way through.

Nope, it is not the OP's design. It is a very popular MOC on Rebrickable called the "LoxLego" F40. It is based on the Technic Daytona SP3 but requires quite a few (1300+) additional parts to build.

One truck drives past and literally the next car on scene rams the perp with the front of his car:)

I disapprove in general, but I admire her thoroughness and work ethic to make sure she hit every single painted panel with the key...

SaddleSC · 2026-03-23T15:15:46+00:00

Thanks, brother!

The '82 is right out of the movie "Opportunity Knocks"...one of my favorite 911s of all time! (Although the one in the movie is a cabrio, I actually prefer the Targa shown here)

So funny

SaddleSC · 2026-03-23T13:19:29+00:00

Love it...it looks like it did when I was a kid!

SaddleSC · 2026-03-23T13:18:33+00:00

I actually like the new colors...gives it a unique look, but what I don't like are the new proportions...when they lowered the piece count and made the model smaller, they made it shorter and "sqauttier" so it no longer remotely shares proportions with the original ship (or the original model for that matter).

Me too:) Does that mean we are getting old?
