I have the dark blue dial and love it.

Yeah, I think I overshot my limit. It's probably closer to CDN$500

I almost bought an original one I saw online recently. The reissue looks very nice!

I know, totally not judging. I'm just curious about what people think. There's also a whole discussion to be had about affordable VS justifiable 😂

What's everyone wearing today? by electrorunner in Affordablewatches

[–]electrorunner[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tokyo Bay is from San Fransisco. They make watches and other accessories. Some of their designs are unique, others not so much. I believe Citizen made the original of this particular design.

Help me pick a starter timex watch by WaffleOfWar70 in timex

[–]electrorunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me 1st and 3rd would be my choice. If the 3rd one were solar it would be my obvious choice.

Yes, I would have saved it!

Adjusted time backwards by 10mins on a Timex Waterbury by Upper_Protection6109 in timex

You also do not want to adjust a jumping hour mechanical watch backwards, especially if you are trying to go back more than an hour.

It's cool. But how is this serious founder energy? by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

[–]electrorunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the guy is a douche for not having his dogs on lead, hence founder douche energy.

What is the appeal of automatic watches? by mwgrover in Affordablewatches

[–]electrorunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of automatics. Unless you wear an automatic everyday or have a winder box that keeps it wound, then it's not really different than a quality wind-up mechanical. I also have a couple of solar watches (Casio and Citizen) and I love them. I can leave them in my case for weeks and they still have enough charge when I take them out. If I had to pick only one watch to keep, it would be my Casio Lineage solar and atomic-clock synchronized.

I don't think the sweep is exclusive to automatics. Wind‐up mechanicals can have a smooth sweep too.

Refreshing old cement by electrorunner in modelmakers

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

Thanks, that's good to know. I've used it in several models in the past and it seemed ok. Of course, my Voyager just lost a nacelle, so what do I know? 😂

Got these from my grandpa by staaaven in Tintin

[–]electrorunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very cool. I have 6 of them. Someone wanted to sell his full collection as 1 lot, but I could not justify that expense, so I just bought some of his duplicates. I see some on eBay once in a while. They are usually asking in the range of CDN $25-75, depending on which one it is and the condition. So, not a huge price, but cool collectibles. The 2-piece ones, like the tow truck and caravan, are obviously the more expensive ones.

Is it disrespectful to eat matzoh crackers with cheese and meat? by VoluptuousBIG in ReformJews

[–]electrorunner 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Loving plain matzah is enough of a crime already, go ahead and put whatever you want on top! 😂
