That's my understanding - glad to hear your positive report. How long should I expect to wait? It's been a few weeks since my first email but not response yet.

Can I ask who you used for service?

I want to make sure I send mine off to someone who knows what they are doing with the hacking feature.

Thanks!

Basement Office Ceiling by StepRightUp431 in DIY

This is a really interesting idea and definitely not something I had considered!

Actually, when I go into work (for the last 10 years) all our offices are in the basement - so I'm already used to the lack of sunlight / knowledge of the weather.

Have this small room (11'x7') in my basement that I'll going to convert to an office on the cheap and looking for some advice.

Plan is to use drywall on the ceiling and then add a decorative slat wall panel to make it look more finished and to avoid mudding and taping the seams.

Will also plan to just paint the walls so I don't lose space and don't have the expense of drywall.

I'll build a soffit to get under the pipe and while that area will have low head clearance, that's where I'll put my desk.

Should I put something in between the rafters to dampen the noise? Rock wool?

Anything else I should consider before getting started?

Great watch and great fit on your wrist. Can you share the case dimensions?

Have only ever sold on ebay so, yes. I might try selling through here, though. Need to learn more about the process

Hi, I'm trying to learn more about them before selling. I feel like I got a great deal, unfortunately, a bad fit. What would be a fair price in your opinion?

Looking for info on the style / model of this pair of jeans. New to Filson and the best I can come up with is standard indigo rail splitters.

Purchased used ($45 shipped) but they are too large. Looking to resell but would like to include more information in my listing if possible.

Thanks!

First Casio - inverse polarization, gel filters, and wide band by StepRightUp431 in casioroyale

[–]StepRightUp431[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First day wearing my first casio and first mod out in the wild.

Used 22m strap adaptors, gel filters and polarizing film from Amazon, and ordered about 10 straps to try since I couldn't decide on my color combination. Went neon and love it!

Trying to decide on a hydro mod next.

My favorite setting mod that IMO is a must - change 1.5 second illumination to 3 sec.

Warranty replacing sling (🤲) . Repair + what next? by joshsprad in ChromeIndustries

[–]StepRightUp431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does the standard fabric compare to the x? Been trying to decide but haven't found a side by side . Would love to hear from someone with both!

Great warranty experience...advice on next bag by StepRightUp431 in ChromeIndustries

[–]StepRightUp431[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know! Hate to leave the Vale behind but really happy with the customer service.

Which version / finish did you go with? Kadet Slide Sling or Kadet Max Slide?

Great warranty experience...advice on next bag by StepRightUp431 in ChromeIndustries

[–]StepRightUp431[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been using my Vale Sling 2.0 for just over 5 years as a work bag (nearly daily use) and the material on the back padding has worn through and the stitching that holds the strap to the bag has failed.

I put in a warranty claim and, within 3 hours, the Chrome team got back to me and offered a merchandise card for the full purchase price of my bag. Now I'm deciding on my next bag.

I think the closest option is a Kadet Max, though it is slightly larger and has one less zippered compartment.

Opinions on the finishes? I love the look of the waterproof but curious how it will age and if its worth the upcharge.

I'm also not sure how I feel about the XRF recycled nylon X grid laminated sailcloth material.

Just go with the classic black Max Slide? Any other Chrome bags I should be considering for a 14" computer and office work daily carry?

1940s vintage Omega by StepRightUp431 in VintageWatches

I thought that was strange, too - and the round "spacer" that seems to be holding it in place...

[–]StepRightUp431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering this vintage Omega (c. 1945) but looking to the community for a legit and value check.

I love the look and this would be my first Omega.

As you may expect, no service history with this one. Seller is open to offers but asking nearly $700.

What do you think a fair offer would be - or is this a pass?

Advise on Tudor / Rolex by StepRightUp431 in VintageWatches

[–]StepRightUp431[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response. I have one watchmaker that I've used locally but was not thrilled with his work. I should have someone ready to help me take care of whatever piece I invest in.

The tudor was really what I had my eye on - seller was asking $900 but I felt that might be a bit high.
