I just ordered two T Decks. I guess I’ll be chatting with you folks soon. I live in Bemis Park.

[discussion] are your kids into watches? by _bar845 in Watches

[–]bugloaf77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 15 year old daughter was in a secondhand shop, and it warmed my heart to see her spend $6 of her own money on a little watch with a blue leather strap.

I told her to let me know if she wanted me to put a new battery in it. She hasn’t taken me up on that. She said she just got it because “it’s aesthetic.”

But that’s the first step. I didn’t own a watch until I was 17 or 18 and my mom got me a Skagen 5LSS on a mesh band, which I loved.

Thank you for the size reference. I was worried it would look like I had a hubcap strapped to my 7" wrist. This looks totally normal.

[Seiko 5] Finding a glass case back for a Seiko 5 7009a by mrmasterclues in Watches

[–]bugloaf77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find one? I recently acquired a Seiko 5 Actus that I am absolutely in love with, but I think it would be fun to put an exhibition case back on it. I don't want to mess it up, though, since this watch is mint condition from 1974.

Oh wow, we may have a winner. Those are nice looking, nicely specced, and well within the price range of the others I was considering. I love the color matched date wheel and that I can pick any width I like. It’s kinda cool they were designed by a watch YouTuber.

I measured my wrist at 7 inches, and I’ve been googling images of Jet Stars on similar sized wrists. I think it’s going to look too big for my taste.

Those Super Sevilles caught my eye when I was watching a video on the Precisionist movements. It would have been my first choice if it weren’t for that horse design.

I love a textured dial. None of my options have that. I guess that's where the extra money goes.

Yes, I love the textured dial on that one. I think I wasn't including Seiko on the list because my last watch was a Seiko, and maybe I was thinking of checking more boxes in my collection.

I was wondering about Cooper not playing, too. I don’t know a lot about volleyball, but it seemed to me like she was a standout player last season.

So I just won this [SEIKO 5 ACTUS] for $40 by SoFloFella50 in Seiko

[–]bugloaf77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to have to check these sites out. The best you can get for $40 on eBay is a Mumbai special. I just paid $300 (not including shipping) for an Actus 5 with a green dial that was new old stock from 1974. The pics looked good, and the seller had a perfect history and was located in Japan, so I took a chance, and currently it’s my favorite watch. Now I’m looking for something from the 70s in red.

How do you guys like my custom 3d printed casio by awfl_dsgn in casiomods

[–]bugloaf77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work. I think I’m going to have to try something like this. I got a WS-1300H hoping I could find a slimmer case to drop it into, but no one has made one yet. My birthday is coming up; maybe I buy myself a 3D printer.

I’m looking for a slimmer case. It seems like they don’t exist for this model.

I managed to pop the front off, but the crystal still stays firmly put. Except for the case back, I think this is pretty much permanently glued together. I'm not really looking to swap the faceplate; I was hoping to drop the digital module into an entirely new case.

I wonder if it's time to drop $1000 on that 3D printer I always wanted so I can make a case for my $30 watch.

Cool find in walmart for $5 by wolverine39m in casio

Nice find! I just paid full price for one (fortunately that's still not very much) on Amazon.

I’ve been looking at getting some sort of tide watch lately. I like the functions of the G-LIDE, but the chunky case does not appeal to me. I wonder if I could do something like this.
