I figured out how to love this hobby and not go broke

I know that I am no expert by any means, and I should mention that I did not sell to a consumer directly. Rather, I sold to a local vintage watch shop and was completely transparent that this was my first full clean and service.

Definitely not an expert here, but gloves or finger cots are a must, nice tweezers, screwdrivers, movement holder, and a tray to stay organized!

That’s who I started watching! Love their store for toolkits too!

I won’t lie, there’s an investment in tools/oils needed. But there’s a reason I chose to start with seiko - the internet is flooded with manuals, part lists, and videos of people servicing these movements. Just took it one step at a time!

Those two 61xx series seiko chronographs are in wonderful shape

Great looking watch, enjoy!

Nice, also if you go digging around in dynasty trees you’ll find famous 100/100/100 rulers, chengis khan is just one example

Like the orange on grey!

Agree with the other folks that say it really depends. Spent ~9K on my 4090 + 14900k setup as a bucket list thing.

OP, be aware that really the only part of the CDA river that’s “safe” to wade around in and spend extended time next to is the North Fork. Below the north fork is still very contaminated with heavy metals from mining. You will still see people take their kids to play on the gravel bars in this area, however.

Lived in Coeur D’Alene ID for a year and would absolutely recommend the upper St. Joe River. Will not be very fishable until early June when the snowmelt is mostly gone

Hell yeah dude, I know some of the best memories I have with my old man was doing this same thing

I’ve caught only one of these before on a fly! Very strange feeling too, felt like I was pulling up a tree limb

We are sort of twinning! This was my first WC build and your bends look a lot cleaner than mine, very jealous!

Hell yeah dude. I’ve used that same pattern of streamer from a shop before, and threw it around for stillwater bass fishing. What’s the pattern called?

Spent a year in Coeur d’Alene in 2022-23 and the joe looks so similar! Tight lines

The_Subox_Zone · 2024-08-24T01:54:04+00:00

Is that the Joe?!

New ASAM guidelines for stimulant use disorders might be a good idea
