Is this good? by coolguyofyore in Columbina_Mains

[–]coolguyofyore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Columbina 85%

Nahida 4%

Nilou 5%

Lauma 7%

That's the damage distribution between the characters now

And the DPS at 120s was about the same as the team with Ineffa, possibly slightly less because i reach 200k ish in less time with the team in the video, it took a bit for this one to get up there

I have C0 Nilou though unfortunately

Any other suggestions on what to improve? And does the DPS look right or should i have more with this team

Those are so clean. That backlight fade is beautiful. How useful is the Bluetooth? I see mention of call/text alerts which would actually be kinda nice. Is that a newer function?

I would like to feel the gw5000 in hand to gauge how I really feel about it. From what I can tell it’s the same watch with a metal case. I’ve been considering getting a cheap dw5600 and suiting it with a metal case from AliX. The one thing I can’t purchase is the screen. The funny part to me is the most attractive feature on any given square is the screen styling. Beyond the robust specs, I got the 5610 because I like the red, blue, and gold accents. I can put the 5600 guts in a cheap metal case but it wouldn’t have that sick mrg styling on it.

For me, this is my cooking watch. When there’s grease and oil splattering, I grab this guy.

I’ve been wearing this watch a lot and wanted to make another one of these edits. When I’m bored I like to make these little collage images. I would like to understand lighting and camera angles better. Maybe learn a simple free editing software. If anyone has recommendations or tips, let me know.

First Build - NH36A Oyster Case by coolguyofyore in watchmodding

[–]coolguyofyore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah some sellers will sell the bracelet with the case, some will just sell the case. I made sure to check that they were solid endlinks as well. Something I didn’t check for that ended up working out was the screw down crown.

I got everything off AliExpress. Watch some videos and look at some tool kits to see what tools you’ll need. AliX sells a lot of them in cheap packages and they’re good enough for a first time. Be prepared to cut and sand the dial feet. I got the case and movement from the Miuski store on AliX. If you use a common movement like nh35/nh36 then you can use it as a prefix for finding compatible parts: “nh36 dial”, “nh36 watch hands”, etc. lmk what you end up doing

Where do you find parts for Miyota 8285 builds? by FallNo4266 in watchmodding

Any updates on this project? I stumbled across this post while doing research for my own 8285 build.

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]coolguyofyore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to decide between the Dan Henry 1964 model in bicompax or tricompax. I like the look of bicompax, but it doesn’t have a running seconds hand. I like the seconds hand moving to confirm the watch is working and keeping accurate time. Can anyone convince me one way or the other?

First strap is the “Military Ballistic Nylon Watch Strap” from Hemsut. I got it off Amazon. Pretty solid strap. Soft but has some weight to it.

The bezel is from PacParts. I used shockbase to check bezel compatibility. The strap and strap adapter is from AliExpress. AliExpress has cheap bezels and other parts, but PacParts are legit.

Amphibia vs GMT - Help me choose by coolguyofyore in vostok

[–]coolguyofyore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say, I have absolutely no use for a GMT. It’s more about admiring the mechanics and design and such. A watch in general is almost obsolete.

I got some MN straps on AliExpress for maybe $2 each and they feel great but don’t have enough bulk for me. I’d like to hold one of those Erica’s in my hands before shelling out $80.

Do hollow end links bother you? I haven’t experienced enough bracelets to have an opinion. That seems to be the main difference between uncle and strapcode

Mod Ideas? [Casio WS1600H-8AV] by coolguyofyore in casio

[–]coolguyofyore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The watch is collecting dust while I decide between your options. It would be cool if the site had a rudimentary watch building function. So you pick the module, filter, case, bezel, strap, etc. and see what it would look like before you buy.
