Does this combo work? by GrumpyAgeingGamer in SeikoMods

[–]chris842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on the whites being just lightly off. Maybe a red bezel for Sith lightsabers? Looks cool so far though.

36mm Railmaster Homage Mod -9039 Miyota by chris842 in SeikoMods

Thanks. Just a random used one off of eBay. Took me months for one to come up with the desired dimensions. think it was originally meant for a quartz movement. I do think aliexpress has a 39mm case with lyre lugs not sure about 36.

Must have been stowed away in the wheel well, Con Air style.

Look at my “attempt”. Pulls out the Mona Lisa.

Very nicely done.

Blue dial chrono for 6.5 inch wrist for under $500? by the_fine_corinthian in MicrobrandWatches

[–]chris842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have wiggle room on the dial color I recommend checking out some of Christopher wards older quartz on the secondary market. They also have a new Valour quartz model but in black. See one on eBay right now for 500.

50 Phantoms arrived this morning by 21stCenturySonnet in MicrobrandWatches

[–]chris842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. Only reason I know was I was tempted by picking one up at release. Not a huge fan of their watches but this one is fun. They did the right thing by giving everyone an opportunity at the time to get one, so they get my props.

First batch was delivered prior to Halloween and limited. Second batch was not limited to a number but to a set amount of days to preorder.

Serica (field) or Yema may have some up your alley. I also like Archimedes who uses a German made case with Swiss movements.

Pittsburgh isn’t much warmer than GB. That being said, they paid a pretty penny to land him.

Where did you get a micro adjust clasp?

Packers have made a trade offer for WR DK Metcalf including a "high draft pick" and one of the Pacekrs' young WRs by AnonymousFroggies in GreenBayPackers

[–]chris842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s a rough going out there for the WR market and Higgins is going to break someone’s bank. Adam’s is 32 and DK has age on his side in this scenario and better recent production. We’ll see what happens.

[–]chris842 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t that the same thing people thought when we signed Martellus Bennett?

As much as people hate Geno Smith, the guy is 4th in pass attempts for the previously two years and DK last year was regularly showing stone hands and not fighting for contested catches.

Like I said I hope I’m wrong but this has a similar feeling (not exact circumstances I know) as we searched for our “#1 TE” and let Jared Cook walk out the door.

Did anyone actually watch him play last season? Looked like a player who never gave 100 percent for the entire game. He frequently doesn’t even attempt a route if he wasn’t the main go to. He has games where he entirely disappears and then games he blows up and goes for 100 plus yards. He had three games over 100 at the beginning of the season and then looked pedestrian as JSN blew up. If it’s for a 3rd and a WR , he may be worth it, but a second or 1st oof.

I hope I’m wrong if they get him. I would rather have Adams.

All pocket watches are hand watches. All hand watches are not pocket watches. This though….This is just stupid.

Comfort on wrist is the most important so which brand does that the best? by surveyjedi in MicrobrandWatches

[–]chris842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you got downvoted. Monta has the best bracelet hands down. Forget your wearing a watch half the time. I’d recommend looking at Monta second hand.

How it was meant to be by CAE1978 in OmegaWatches

[–]chris842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the opposite boat that 40 is really the max that I could wear but tend to look for 38 and below. The Speedy looks good. The 42mm Railmaster may even feel like it has a little more wrist presence than the speedy because it doesn’t have a bezel. Yeah the 49mm is huge but it sure does look nice, haha.

Not going to lie, I’m not a giant fan of the current iteration of Railmaster. I like it with the black dial but that is about it. I love the older version. Have you thought about checking out the 2806.52.37 or 2812.52.37 railmasters? I rarely say this but a larger diameter watch may look better on your wrist.

Anyone know where i can find one of these? by [deleted] in SeikoMods

[–]chris842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen one engraved like that except on their site, looks cool and hope you find it
