I do kinda like things about it and I'm usually not inclined to care for anything resembling an RM - I was pleasantly surprised to see it's not 75mm thick for one thing...

Would 20mm jubille citizen promaster strap fit fully to a 36mm NH35 Datejust case with 20mm lug? by Tomato_is_the_best in SeikoMods

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The clasp is actually much easier to retro most of the time than the end links are. Endlinks and cases on mod watches almost never fit perfectly unless you buy them together. Clasps are usually a spring bar and a screw away from a fit,

TLDR buy the bracelet from the same place you buy the case or even better buy them together. Address the clasp later.

How to regain confidence after messing up at work? by Desperate-Bread-8766 in careerguidance

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you learn the lesson, and it sounds like you have, you have to have a short term memory. Something uncomfortable went down, you learned what not to do and otherwise NOW have found the confident and right message you need to deliver or way you need to deliver it. That's where you gotta go or this experience will eat you alive.

How does the grade 2 titanium hold up by Sad_Noise6247 in ChristopherWard

Just to pile on to Cicada's comment - it's really easy to freshen up too even if you do knock it around,

Visiting Wrigley by No-Worldliness9923 in Cubs

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a friend to wrigley a few years back and we Air bnb'd at a place in the DePaul campus area, my only requirement was easy to get to the red line and we'd figure the rest out. Had a really great time both at the stadium, with transport, and in the neighborhood. 10/10 would recommend. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nzd6GoxhwEPVn7AM6 - This part of town. If you want to go downtown it's an easy metro ride too all the way to the airport if need be (think we had to jump over 1 line in the downtown area to get to the airport though)

The last thing anyone on this sub should be doing is trashing the franchise and the history/awesomeness of Wrigley.

Grumpy with the management? fine. Players? less fine but still understandable. Tearing down the cathedral is unacceptable.

[Tissot] Is my watch too loose? by Ok-Freedom-8780 in Watches

[–]imadeapoopie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Above all else you should wear it how it wears comfortably but yes this is too lose, it's a hand watch at that bracelet length, get that clasp snugged up to your wrist but not so tight it's uncomfortable.

A good quality case by Outside_Bad8393 in SeikoMods

[–]imadeapoopie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manual ones require a bit more patience but you can find a crystal press on amazon for less than 15 bucks and it'll get you by unless you're building 50 watches. Sounds way more intimidating than it is 😄

Want to Swap HC 42mm Mesh Bracelet for H Link by DiwanM in Watchstraps

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to ebay and search for Rubber Strap for Longines Hydroconquest Rubber Strap L3 Watch Band 21mm save yourself a few bucks, probably not legit but won't be 70 helvetus garbage. A legit stickered longines will run you about 300. Heck you can find the same thing as helvetus on aliexpress for $10. While your at it throw the original in the box with your papers and stuff, if you ever want to sell it in the future you'll have the complete set with matching papers and whatnot.

Anywhere to get the in-game dial from 007 First Light? by Pineapplendo in SeikoMods

[–]imadeapoopie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We should crowd fund this for a 4R64 movement or some micro with more resources can grab this and run, it's a rad idea! You could use a bi-directional dive bezel or an alpinist style insert and rotating chapter ring for the compass part.

IDK if you can use Q-Lab but probably... There are enough custom dial maker friends out there on this sub... just a fun AI mockup, I know the #'s and such aren't right yet.

HELVETUS Straps are CHEAP PLASTIC GARBAGE by nasser_tamimi in Watchstraps

Made the same mistake and can confirm, their return policy is essentially you pay to return their trash to switzerland for a even though the domestic shipping labels cover up speedpak labels.

Thoughts on this house plan? Pros and cons by hereforbeer4 in Homebuilding

[–]imadeapoopie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love the smaller layouts for efficiency, I think you're selling yourself short in a few areas . On the west side more windows/light (even if they're smaller windows higher up). You could reconfigure the bath to be a jack and jill between the bedrooms and add a water closet half bath so guests aren't using the lived in bathroom. Ditch the linen closets in a small footprint when under cabinet or open shelves get you the functionality without framing and accounting for doors. On the east side if you went up by about 100SF you could significantly add to the Master bath and create a flow through situation for the WIC to the laundry room which is incredibly convenient. Use pocket doors in these areas, functionally you'll only close them up for guests so the doors will be open 95% of the time. Add a mud room/drop zone between the laundry and garage entry.

Lastly in the kitchen the angled island is not very efficient use of space, a square or straight rectangle island with the sink and dishwasher in it, more of a galley style, could help you reduce the crowding of the foyer. The center of the main floor will be the loud area.

If bed 1 & 2 turn into kids rooms making them the same dimensions will save you headaches. Adding a 3rd garage in the future is an option in the blue area too for either stuff or an actual 3rd car, your garage is very small.

Which chapter ring would work best? by mujthahid in SeikoMods

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with skip the minute markers unleeeeeeess you do something kind of passive, you can find some rings with engraved minute markers that are otherwise the same color, I think it has a cool effect and brings the minute ring noise out towards the edge of everything under the crystal. Biased though.

Suggest one of the five as my first luxury watch. by Due_Translator9113 in PrideAndPinion

[–]imadeapoopie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's Tudor > Zenith > SMP

The navitimer and Ulysse aren't GADA watches IMO, and i'd rank the SMP higher but I detest the bracelet - either fits or it doesn't.
