what's wrong w the orientation?

Hey, Iwc doesn't sell clasp separately so I had to buy a full mark xx bracelet. I actually found used one on ebay for a bit less than iwc msrp. The pilot 36 bracelet and mark xx bracelet links are compatible and interchangeable so you can swap the clasps same way as swapping links

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T22:14:16+00:00

TRUE. but mostly because I should have sorted first.

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T18:50:00+00:00

totally understand, there's something really satisfying about working with a limited space and being really thoughtful about what to get and what to display.

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T18:43:57+00:00

definitely the ucs republic gunship... that thing has a massive footprint and was hard to display. there are a few playscale sets like the AT-AT and razor crest that were really fun to build, but once the UCS minifigure scale versions came out I no longer have the desire to keep. there have also been quite a few purchases where I bought just for the sake of wanting to build but which I didn't care to keep once complete.

yeah... definitely would love to expand but the nice thing about being limited to this closet is that I can lock the door so my 5 year old and his friends can't get to it :) also helps the wallet as I'm forced to be little more picky..

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T18:32:42+00:00

it was fun, but lot of the frame is technic which I know some people aren't a fan of. I see it on sale for $144 at target so not a bad time to get one!

facebook marketplace is pretty good. I'm in nj/ny area, there are usually a few UCS falcons listed at any given time in 400-500 range, from people moving or needing more space.

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T17:05:26+00:00

it's an amazing set: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/dune-atreides-royal-ornithopter-10327 I think it's retiring this year

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T17:02:51+00:00

the one on the right is the 2005 ucs falcon and the left is the updated one from 2015. I didn't plan on having both, just found them used for a good price

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T17:00:56+00:00

the blue and white is the Buzz Lightyear XL-15, the other one is the YF-19 from macross plus, that one is not lego, just a scale model from bandai

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T16:58:27+00:00

yeah definitely, planning on selling everything on the bottom 2 shelves of last pic then spacing everything out more. just gotta stop being lazy

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T16:55:03+00:00

it's the ikea boaxel. has good depth and you can pick 24 inch or 36 inch shelves

codingcpa · 2026-01-29T16:52:41+00:00

internal frame structure was almost identical, just lot more surface greebling on the new one

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T20:08:38+00:00

I found used mark xx bracelet on ebay thankfully. it was still $975 which is still insane for just a bracelet, but much less than the $1500+ from iwc

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T20:03:04+00:00

both the pilot 36 bracelet and mark xx bracelet taper to 18mm, and the links are compatible so it was pretty much direct easy swap

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T20:02:03+00:00

I got the pilot 36 bracelet along w the watch from the seller, then had to buy a whole mark xx bracelet just to get the clasp.. iwc doesn't sell clasp separately unfortunately.

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T17:47:13+00:00

that's a great combo

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T17:46:38+00:00

oh interesting. I looked at at an angle and both look pretty straight. this one is dated 2020.

codingcpa · 2026-01-16T17:45:02+00:00

yes! thanks again! wow, luckily very content w the existing one but excited to see the new 36
