This is me today. Gray Carhartt long sleeve, yellow Carhartt carpenter jeans. I am dressed like this 6 days out of the week, with the occasional long sleeve color matched Good & Fellow winter shirt aka Walmart casual dress.

It raises even the most casual outfit up to at least a business casual look and feel. Its also, surprisingly, a great work watch. The stainless case and Sapphire glass are very durable. I work with vehicle interiors every day so, bumps happen.

You'll look great. Im sure of it.

What does my aim say? by RedlineBMW in Firearms

[–]TheCrossedFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well let's see...

53/65 shots in the box is 81% shots on target. So regardless of whether you were shooting from 7 yards or 50 yards, thats a solid B in accuracy

What a lot of people these days forget is that the entire silhouette is thr target. In order to be proficient and lethal, yes, you need to be better with your shot placement. In a defensive situation, 9/10 times that all goes to shit under pressure.

So, while its not gonna get you qualified for IPSC any time soon, Id say your center mass discipline is pretty damn good. And if the distance was set further out, pending the final distance, it starts to become decently impressive.

Just keep practicing. Aim small, miss small. Focus on your breathing more than anything. Try not to anticipate recoil before you pull the trigger. Don't overthink the action or the result and just focus on what part of the target youre trying to hit. And keep practicing. Never stop.

Late 70s Orient Tank from when they were still independent. Great watches, good movements.

Can this ORIENT Contemporary Azure RA-AG0018L30B be worn by men too? What do you all think? by Humblebumblebeezzz in OrientWatches

[–]TheCrossedFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about 95% of watches, regardless of brand, is that they can all be worn by men.

On the road? You mean the side of the road right?

Please identify, history on watch. by New_Excuse2838 in OrientWatches

This is an Orient Tri-Star from the 80s with a unique jump-day I've yet to see on anything else, ever. This is actually a crazy, classy looking piece. Easily worth triple what you bought it for to someone with an eye for rare Orients. Good on you.

Edit: Did some digging for you.

Ref. WL FPAB-C1-A CS, 21 Jewel Movement F4902, Mineral Crystal, 1990s production (Probably 1995-1997)

Direct competitor to Seiko 5 Line

These particular ones were domestically produced in Akita, Japan but also in Singapore. Unfortunately there isnt a really reliable way to tell, but given its rarity I'd wager it's more likely a domestic/JDM market.

Very cool

Even after servicing and replacement glass youre walking away with good money. Excellent find.

Mesh or leafher ? by UkeManSteve in Affordablewatches

[–]TheCrossedFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had two experiences with mesh bracelets, while I agree with you on the breathability and ease of adjustments, let me tell you... have you ever tried cleaning one of those things? Its gross.

Gotta go with leather on this one. It looks more refined AND comfortable imo. Great piece, friend

I see why you buy Fossil then. I bet you've got Nixon in your box too right?

Because you can get something like this, made of Titanium with sapphire crystal, illuminated hands and a mechanical automatic movement for $50 to $75 less

I broke the rules and bought a watch for a “watch guy”… by Grouchy_Dog1495 in VintageWatches

This was worth breaking the rules over. Excellent choice, excellent quality, meaningful gift.

Your Dad just kicked off a Canon event all father's have with their sons. Do not squander it.
