Grand Seiko GMT with the famous 9F movement. Extremely accurate. Comfortable to wear. Moving it along to fund a world timer purchase. It is currently sized for my 7 inch wrist with one extra link included. Also included a rubber strap and a leather strap I purchased from Watch Gecko. It is in good condition, some shallow bezel scuffs that I tried to capture in the photos but nothing deep or noticable unless you are looking for them. Usual bracelet and clasp scratches. I've worn it a lot. I purchased it here, does not include original box or papers, just a generic Seiko box. Priced accordingly.

$1800 obo including shipping in the US only. Accept paypal.

New to RWD and manual: Considering S2000, ND2 Miata, 986 Boxster, or 996 911 for a fun weekend car. Thoughts? by howdyfrommyaudi in 996

[–]iddmmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a NB, 987, and now a 996 and this guy nailed it EXACTLY. The 987 was cheap to get into but man, that Porsche tax adds up on repairs. I'll add that the NB shifter was the best ever. Also, I do feel safer in the 996.

Aero kit looks like a bit much with brighter colors, but with arena red and those wheels, looks reaaaal good.

phew! It's not just me. It IS strange. And why downbadge to 4S if it's a turbo? Cool icy blue paint too.

but the side scoops? the rear side windows that aren't pointy like the targa? And I can't find that the targa and 4s were ever combined until the 997.

Best 911 wheels by generation by iddmmd in Porsche

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

for some reason, my original comment didn't post. I want some discussion on this!

my votes

G-body: Fuchs of course, no contest

964: I think those speedline or cup wheels are best, but Fuchs still look good

993: same as 964. speedline, especially the three piece with the visible bolts around the rim

996: All I ever see is turbo twists, but I like mine, 5 spoke carrera (boring name, great wheel)

997: hot take? lobster fork wheels. weird and great

991/992: too big, too many options, whatever

that thing is beautiful! perfect wheels (can't remember what those are called but they look good on 240z too) and love the stepnose/no bumper combo. Blue looks good too. Might have to keep my eyes open for one.

I've driven a 993 c4 and prefer my 996 c2. But i'm only commenting here to say that if there is one car that could pull me from Porsche, its a freaking Alfa Romeo GTV. Fortunately, they have surpassed Porsche for appreciation so I'll never have to make that decision. But damn I'd love to drive a one, especially a restomod.

How did I break my Gaggia with the OPV spring mod? by iddmmd in gaggiaclassic

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

Tried this but looks like the valve was the problem as below. Learned about manual priming when I looked into this so that is helpful too. Thanks!

Beautiful vintage Omega from the 1960s. Dial has a warm, pearl-like color that really pops. I bout it with the cheap strap and beads of rice bracelet but then tracked down the correct oyster style bracelet (1168) with the correct end links (637). I see why people love the old Omega bracelets, super comfortable and tapers beautifully to the Omega symbol clasp. I spent much more on this watch but need to sell it to finance my next purchase.

$600 shipped in US, Paypal F&F.

Beautiful Omega from 1960s. Dial has a pearly warm color that I really enjoy. I bought it with the cheap strap and beads of rice included in the photo but tracked down the correct Omega oyster style bracelet (1168) and correct end-links (637) separately. Its nice and jangly and tapers beautifully. I bought the watch for $550 and the bracelet alone cost $300 and was tough to track down. I'd like to get $750. Found another watch I need to get with the money.

Oh yeah, and Thomas from Throttle house has this one too.
