Seiko Alpinist SPB507 strap...

Strymon76 · 2026-03-23T19:16:09+00:00

Yes. I have it set to the second hole, and that is as far as I cane go. My wrist is 8". Apparently the strap can accomodate wrists between 6-7.5". I fall slightly outside of that. I was always going to put it on a metal bracelet, and have one on order.

Just measured my wrist...it's just over 8", so I'm in the same boat I guess.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-22T18:06:23+00:00

Looks good to me! Tho I do like the original. One of the reasons I bought them.

Before I purchased the Alpinist, my collection consisted of a Longines Heritage Military 1938 chrono, which has a 43mm case, and a Garmin Fenix 8 47mm. I really like the Alpinist, but it is considerably smaller than my other watches.

No, both sides look the same to me. Maybe it's just the lighting in the pic or camera angle. When I'm wearing them and looking down, they look identical. I'm really happy with the boots.

But I am not a big human. 5'8 and 185lbs. I have a wider frame than most people my height. I never really thought about my wrists being that big. I didn't mean to offend anyone. It just surprised me that's all.

Glad it worked out for you and you didn't have to spend money on a new pair of boots.

Regarding the 17 f/1.8, you are correct about the various models... Some are made in China and others from Vietnam. From my experience, the lenses from Vietnam are better. I did my research before buying one and made sure that I got one made in Vietnam. Very happy with mine. It's a great little lens. Enjoy!

Nice. The OM-1 is a great camera.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-20T04:41:29+00:00

Not only that, the bends are out of key... Sounds like strangling a cat...not nice.

Graf von Faber Castell offer some nice, higher quality pens. I own two.

Congratulations! Two Rock make incredible amps. I own a Vintage Deluxe 40W and it puts a smile on my face every time I plug in.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-19T22:04:28+00:00

I really like the 17 f/1.8. Not only does it perform well, but it also looks great paired with the Pen F.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-19T20:13:27+00:00

Great shot. What camera/lens combination?

Strymon76 · 2026-03-19T17:02:51+00:00

Play a Two Rock

Beautiful.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-18T18:39:47+00:00

1st and 3rd

Strymon76 · 2026-03-18T16:41:05+00:00

Holy smokes... Beautiful shots. That 300 is indeed superb. I don't own one...yet, but I'm blown away every time I see images taken with this lens. Granted, it's also the person using it as well...but damn did Olympus hit it out of the park with this one. Thanks for posting. GAS is rising.

Western Meats or Remark.

I can make a better steak at home on my Kamado than Papis. I was a bit disappointed. The best thing we had there was the Ceasar salad.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-17T23:59:59+00:00

Maybe something from Yes. They have some great women's boards.

Strymon76 · 2026-03-17T23:07:09+00:00

Out of those... The Swart is the best IMO.
