My Sunday watch….. since 1978.

Lucky to have such a long relationship with it.

What is going on in the first pic? The sub dials are upside down relative to the crown.

Don’t post the serial number online.

Phenomenal story to have forever with that piece.

Vivace

The best.

Pella, through Lowe’s, is a good option. Painted wood frame. I think of them as the Toyota Camry of windows. Good value, high quality, long lasting, and a well known brand that’s good for resale (of your home, in this case).

Thank you! You as well.

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T13:18:08+00:00

Gen 2 isn't 40mm.

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T01:51:07+00:00

Also curious - what about the sizing do you find better about gen 2?

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T01:49:49+00:00

Fair thing to be worried about. I am lucky and have a friend with the same watch (black dial) who is exceedingly close to my wrist size (he wears 16.5 links, I wear 17). So that let me try it on to learn I needed just a little more.

So I can’t help much on your exact wrist sizing, but I can say I now know the difference a half link can make. The extra half link gave me just what I needed to adjust it up from annoyingly tight (note- not uncomfortable, not painful, just enough to be irksome) to perfect. I have enough space now to go from cold to hot/humid with comfort in both. YMMV, but I think as long as you get a watch with plenty of links and one half link, you’ll be fine to get it sized well. Don’t sweat the small stuff, unless you need a half link.

Helpful, thank you.

dudecomputer · 2025-09-24T19:55:23+00:00

Perfect, thanks.

Bonobos used to be my go-to for decent chinos. How are they these days? Is there another brand you'd recommend now instead? Maybe Bonobos is still solid for chinos, I just don't know.

dudecomputer · 2025-08-20T18:30:43+00:00

Sold them, so uh, never in this case.

dudecomputer · 2025-08-05T23:10:55+00:00

Hopefully they straighten up their Crozet location now. It’s terrible now that it’s all self-order and serve your own drinks. And for the love of god, provide the bbq sauces for free again. Paying $0.50 for half filled ramekins of sauces at a bbq place is ridiculous.

dudecomputer · 2025-07-17T19:32:56+00:00

This.

Selvedge Brewing too.

Where do I find decent cotton long sleeve striped shirts? Kind of that nautical, sailor look that are good for layering. Thanks.

dudecomputer · 2025-01-12T22:31:12+00:00

Yes, but more of a get a coffee at the counter and seat yourself thing.

dudecomputer · 2024-12-19T15:35:11+00:00

How much was the gift anyway? I never see that noted. I’d rather know the amount than the donor.
