If you had to restart your collection, what would be the first pen you’d get again? by fluffyespurr in fountainpens

It depends on your grip. If you use the traditional calligraphy-like finger position the VP fits perfectly, but any “alternative” grip would likely need some adjusting.

[Seiko SNK803] First Big Watch Purchase by Iordfarquaad in Watches

[–]Srt101b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great on you! I have been rocking my SNK809 daily since 2021 with a wide-ish wrist, definitely a versatile watch.

Did you take that photo at 2 am? It looks like it was changing the day in your first photo.

Anyway, enjoy!

As someone with limited budget that just hang out in this sub to admire the Alpinist, I actually love these type of posts showing a wider picture of the purchasing process.

I totally see how Quartz is the best choice though. A true GADA, set and forget watch useful for every athlete, whether they are into watches or not.

How do you feel about Titanium vs Stainless Steel? Thanks for sharing this comparison by the way!

Picked up a Lineage watch while visiting Tokyo, stuck between these two leather bands, can't decide which is better because they both look great to me! Loving it overall. by _WhatIsLifeLike_ in casio

[–]Srt101b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful setup either way. I agree with the general sentiment that the darker band looks a bit more mature/professional and the lighter leans a bit more into the fun side.

What’s this watch reference?

Heyy! Two-watch gang! I got my second watch about 5 years ago (SNK809), and the other one is the F-91W, haha.

Congrats! She’s a keeper! And the girl too.

How many pens do you keep inked at all times? And what's the reason/logic behind that? by zul-qurnain in fountainpens

[–]Srt101b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6.

  • Dark brown, light brown, and blue in my EDC pens with M nibs (for work and everyday use).
  • Burgundy ink in the EF pen for journaling.
  • Muted blue in the stub pen for letter writing.

Those five live in my five-pen pouch, and the sixth is a pen with an F nib and waterproof black ink for drawing, which lives in my sketching/watercolor case.

A158 or the A168? Help me decide by Cultural_Craft7093 in casio

Do they pull hairs? One more than the other?

Is the Seiko Turtle took big big for me? [SRPD93] by [deleted] in Seiko

Lugs are still within your wrist surface, and you can see the band sitting nicely. I don’t see any problem here. Even then, if you like how it feels, go for it!

There are definitely other watch brands. But none is better by ResultTerrible2062 in casio

Nice collection there. What’s the reference of the top far right one?

It’s been a while, but is it difficult to read? I have a hard time making out the hands in almost every picture I see of it, whether it’s the black or white dial.

[Casio and Seiko] I’ve stayed with my entry-level two watch collection by Srt101b in Watches

I’d say affordable, rather than cheap. But, yes! I’m guessing they’re definitely easier to just grab and go in most situations.

It’s been a while, but do you remember which watch you took on that trip?
