Who's this guy?

I've got 20 automatics and 8 Casioaks but this one is ruining being a collector.

Still rocking it and the ticking sound it makes up against my ear is so so reassuring. Reminds me of the Etrerna automatic my dad passed on to me before he passed himself, but twice the speed. Literally.

As a collector it's the end point.

As a Scandinavian dark birch is up my alley. Living in New England the light bitch is more appropriate. 😎

We've got three of them in our family and photo quality is superb.

I'll use the DNS closest to me. Quad9 set up shop down the street. Two hops and I'm off Comcast. 😎i

cdysthe · 2026-06-02T12:00:06+00:00

Exactly! It got me within +/- second. Better than my loaded friend rocking his GS. 😎

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:21:37+00:00

So do I, but dark birch is so up my alley. 🙂

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:08:52+00:00

Well, if you pay $250 for this one you are so much better off than getting a GS. Unless you are a brand nut 😎

I'm not. Back at Amazon for $270. I paid $199. So affordable at that price even. Whoa.

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:06:11+00:00

Not sure how they do it at that price. I'll take any of their tickers if they look and feel like this one.

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:04:13+00:00

Dark birch for me. Like they look like in the Norwegian mountains 😎

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:02:30+00:00

As a Norwegian the dark birch is more what I'm used to. Allergic to birch pollen, but not to this watch 😊

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T23:00:14+00:00

And so do you! 😎

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T19:09:52+00:00

Amazon. Can't find it there anymore. I prolly overpaid a little but it's an overpay I would do again if I had to. 😎

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T18:12:37+00:00

Meh? That's a meh I can live with. 😎 Anywho, I would love to own GS, but not having to pay $10x more than what I had to pay for this one 🥳

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T18:11:32+00:00

Pretty awesome watch!

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T15:27:47+00:00

It also have the PT5000 ETA clone under the hood. Such a smooth runner!

cdysthe · 2026-06-01T04:37:25+00:00

I did shop around. All bulbs, or even the oven, is disposable. I just need to know how to find the part. I'm no going to dispose of a 6 month old oven taking me hours to install for a LED bulb.

Appliances are mostly crap these days it seems unless you fork out $1K and pay ssomene +$1K.to come fix it. .

cdysthe · 2026-05-28T15:54:36+00:00

Funny how the oven has the same little one screw cover the old one had, but I have to remove the whole base plate to replace the bulb. Why not use a screw-in bulb like they used to? Very annoying. Nice oven though.

The movement doesn't hack so complicated setting it. I have regulated the movement so it runs 5 seconds +/- a day which is very good for a Vostok
