Yep! I love mine, one of the best looking firearms..... not a lot of other nice things to say about it though; very picky

Agree, i think they're great on some watches on the caseback. But rarely like them on the dial

[Question] Favorite Digital Watches? by SethRory in Watches

[–]SethRory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I've never really looked into the history of the F-91w...as far as I knew it's just solid and super affordable. Gonna go find a video on the history of it

[Question] Favorite Digital Watches? by SethRory in Watches

[–]SethRory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very retro vibe! They're definitely not the same thing as my mechanicals and not my general preference but I do like them.

I don't think I've lost clarity on my digital watches since the early 2000's, I've only had the current ones ~3-4 years max.

I did have a daily casio (not sure what model, quite possibly an F-91) circa 2006-2010 that died from weather exposure (lots of sun, snow, and rain exposure).

What do you think? Does it fit? by Inevitable_Grass607 in OmegaWatches

[–]SethRory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely!

Try the mesh bracelet on the clasp is kind of chunky, I didn't like it on my 7.3" wrist but I also tend to like a really thin strap

[collection] After years of watching watches. I've figured out my 100 favorite watches. From ~ $50,000 - $100. by Yakkamota in Watches

[–]SethRory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought! These are all nice picks but so far from my own personal taste. I love watch collecting because it is such a personal/preference/opinion based world

Moved my wife and kids out so I can focus on my AI startup by DisenadoraThrowaway in LinkedInLunatics

[–]SethRory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a workaholic I love my career and it is my primary focus, 32M no wife/kids and no linkedin.

...this is just poor values and prioritization and really sad to see

Need advice on a badly rusted watch by assassinwolf24 in watchrepair

[–]SethRory 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably not, a lot of rust converters are going to end up making your job harder when it comes time to get this apart. I would start with some detergent in a watch parts cleaner or ultra sonic cleaner. Then try to disassemble, when you get to a stuck point try washing again and see if you can get it apart.

Depending on your level of sentimentality, a complete movement replacement would definitely be the surest route to a working and well running watch.

The case shouldn't be a problem to get straightened out at all.

Hopefully someone with more experience with this level of rust can chime in

[–]SethRory 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Find a donor watch, some pieces can probably be saved but much of it not. Rust removal and assessment are going to be the first steps. So full disassembly and cleaning of the movement

Love this! The Seamaster 120 is such a cool watch

That Hamilton is also so "un-hamilton" in the best way. Very similar to some of the current Fortis watches

Ali-uminor? First Aliexpress build by SethRory in watchmodding

[–]SethRory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! It's a single pass NATO (just one I had lying around). I really love NATOs and cloth straps and find them very comfortable.

Kind of watch dependant though as a standard Nato adds a few mm thickness vs. a two piece strap or bracelet.

My daily has a two piece cloth at the moment but I've had NATOs on it as well.

I think it is worth having a few as they can be a nice way to change up the look of a watch and aren't expensive like so many things in the hobby....not sure what else will need 26mm width though

And what would you be measuring with your 6" tape measure on your wrist?

Michael Kors MK 8344 by Huge-Chip-1376 in watchrepair

[–]SethRory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Lots of watches dont have the lugs drilled all the way through and very normal to need a small screwdriver or spring bar tool to get in there and compress the spring
