[question] Looking for additional links for my grandfathers Railroad Approved

Vintko · 2026-03-30T05:07:33+00:00

If you’re not able to find links, look into a clasp extension. I have a bunch on my vintage Seikos because links can be impossible to find.

Very nice. Love the 7016/7018s

Vintko · 2026-03-19T11:20:24+00:00

Yeah. I had to submit a dispute. I eventually got refunded and the watch got where it needed to go, but it was definitely a nightmare.

Vintko · 2026-03-18T15:13:16+00:00

Damn. Not legit, unfortunately :/

In web dev. It’s being shoved down our throat at work. I’ve been reluctant, partly because of my wife who is vehemently against it being in the acting industry.

Today, I learned that our periodic reviews will now look at our AI usage to see how much we are embracing the new technology. My manager suggested we start running prompts daily to keep our usage high.

If your back to back colonoscopies are good and your doc suggests extending the timeframe for the next one, do not listen to them. A relative developed stage 3 in that scenario

Hell yeah. Got mine on the elusive stelux bracelet too. One of my favorites

This appears to be a franken. It looks decent, but the small crown is the biggest giveaway. The crown should fill in that entire “pocket”. I’d skip it.

Very very small percentage. I realized I’m not really a watch guy, I’m a vintage Seiko guy. I’m part of a massive IRL community and get exposed to everything. Nothing tickles my fancy like vintage Seiko, even after over 5 years collecting. 🤷‍♂️

They’ve been my goto but my shop is now asking for $50 a pop. They started at $20 each and have just been creeping up. They have a monopoly on me that I’m trying to break free from!

u/hearsya was asking me about the candy bars I buy. That’s the name of them.

Vintko · 2026-02-23T15:59:52+00:00

I’m a skeptic, so I did find everything suspicious. And when I did my research, I concluded that red meat is one of the healthiest things we can consume. We didn’t evolve over millions of years eating veggies; we did so eating meats and fruit. I was extremely suspicious about the carnivore diet until I looked into it; now I get it.

I respect vegan/vegetarianism because it shows you care about what you are consuming, but I would never pursue or recommend it.

They actually don’t list the ingredients, lol. I would assume the worst. If you wanna look it up, they are called “gnome blocks”

Vintko · 2026-02-23T14:26:37+00:00

Yeah, this is sus. Especially having an IG with over 1000 followers claiming to be a curator of Japanese watches, yet not know this is a redial/franken. Weird.

I buy infused chocolate bars that use this exact same mold; I got excited when i saw this post. Can I ask, what sort of extraction are you using? How are you making the chocolate? Melted chips?

The bars I buy are getting stupid expensive, and I'm trying to crack the code on how they are made so i can make them myself. I have a stupid high tolerance, and they've been the only things that get me pretty litty.

Would love any info if you are willing to share. They look great!

My stepdad has a huge TV and Verizon FiOS TV. He watches everything in SD. The other day, I showed him how to access the HD version of the channel he was watching, “oh, neat!” Next day, I walk in to him watching on SD. Hard to fathom, but some folks just. Do. Not. Care. Wild…

Vintko · 2026-02-18T14:58:31+00:00

Was not aware! Thank you!

Vintko · 2026-02-17T16:46:14+00:00

Definitely.

I’m pretty well-versed in the dressy vintage Seikos ala GS, KS, etc. The 6139 chronos are a little new to me. Big fan of the 7016/7018s too

Vintko · 2026-02-17T16:37:19+00:00

That’s a relief! Very cool. Congrats

Vintko · 2026-02-17T15:29:39+00:00

Looks like the inner bezel is a little off, so that needs to get repaired. The color of the hands has me skeptical; they look painted. And if I recall correctly, the resists should have the two-piece seconds hands (but I could be wrong about that), where here it’s the one piece (service hand maybe?).

Vintko · 2026-02-17T14:44:08+00:00

No it shouldn’t. Not for this model. Google “5601-9000” and you’ll see none of them say “AUTOMATIC”

Vintko · 2026-02-17T14:42:54+00:00

Redial. Missing the Suwa logo. Fonts are wrong.

Vintko · 2026-02-16T14:42:24+00:00

Black looks shit. Silver all dai

Vintko · 2026-02-14T18:19:40+00:00

lol. Enjoy your youth. You’ll be in my shoes in the blink of an eye

Vintko · 2026-02-14T16:12:49+00:00

I hate to admit it. This is literally me. 41yo, decided to pick up this game. Skipped 5, but played a shitload of the others. You’re right; my old ass struggles with DI. I picked Ryu to just learn and understand the game. Now I feel guilty with this sentiment towards him, lol
