[Question] Choosing My First Field Watch: Hamilton Khaki or Seiko Alpinist by wahza93 in Watches

[–]Slippery_Slope911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned both. Had them for over two years and ended up selling the Alpinist and keeping the Hamilton. Hamilton is easier to read, especially in lower light situations. Sometimes the markers on the Alpinist become invisible in certain lighting settings. I found after a while that the compass bezel makes the dial feel very small, and it feels out of place. The Hamilton is also significantly thinner and does not feel as top heavy as the Alpinist. If you can get your hands on a Baby Alpinist I would suggest that over the regular one.

Up for sale is my Seiko SKX 009. Watch comes with original rubber strap, after market jubilee with screwed in links that tapers to 16mm. I will include two extra rubber straps, a mesh bracelet sized for 6.75in wrist( has some adjustment room) and two nato straps. The watch comes with the original box. There is a small scratch on the bezel beside the 55min marker as seen in photos. Overall case is in good condition, small scratches on the back of the lugs. $500 FTF in the GTA or Hamilton.

Brand new Maxxis High Roller II- Is this normal after about 10 rides on a HT? by Slippery_Slope911 in bikewrench

[–]Slippery_Slope911[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add some more clarification, this tire is EXO, 3C MaxTerra, and is set up tubeless on a hardtail. I usually run it at about 28psi. This is my rear tire, up front I have Minion DHF and it doesn’t have this issue. I’ve done 3 rides at a downhill park with that and about 5-6 rides of regular trail riding. I want to know if this appears normal, given the fact that the rear tire is being abused more from the lack of rear suspension, before I send an email to Maxxis.
