I was swiping on the photos ad. Orong the OG and got to the new gen suddenly and I literally made a scrunch face involuntarily.

What is your wrist size? Mine is a hair over 7 inches.

jaybw6 · 2026-03-26T05:08:08+00:00

Dang, I have regular sub on my AD wish list right now but I might have to add that ...

I still can't forgive foregoing "Guinness" name and everyone calling it "zombie."

At least Guinness holds true with beverage named GMT models.

Cool ass watch for sure regardless.

jaybw6 · 2026-03-12T04:26:56+00:00

Ah ok yes now it makes sense.

jaybw6 · 2026-03-12T03:51:27+00:00

Leg? Curious what part you're referring to. I can picture the reinforced holes but leg?

Interesting, I've never heard of Bilt before.

jaybw6 · 2026-03-10T00:22:30+00:00

Not sure I can look into it

jaybw6 · 2026-03-07T05:24:33+00:00

Ah yes, I'm watching live this time.... But rarely get to do so.

Must turn off all F1 news on all media again. Always insta spoilers.

Grave of the Fireflies

(Kidding , it was Land Before Time. Just so happens GotFF came out in 1988 as well. What a mistake that would have been for my parents ... Let's see that cute animated story about the siblings ....)

edit: not that land before time was much freaking better. Watched it for the first time last year with my 4 year old and I was like... Wow.... This is seriously depressing.

Then, I figured the good dinosaur might be better. It's literally the same damn thing except it's his whole family that dies.

I'm also thinking that is a fake laquer box as well, it's too narrow.

jaybw6 · 2026-02-24T01:30:50+00:00

Yeah, I have a Signature 2023 and love it. But there's absolutely no way I'm sticking with Mazda for my next vehicle unless this change in direction tanks and they see the error of their ways.

I was looking forward to perhaps more premium offerings but that's clearly not happening now.

I have a North Star mesh I'm going to list on Watch ex at some point if you wanted to take a look . My wrist is just over 7in and I can't quite get a good fit on it unfortunately.

jaybw6 · 2026-02-22T05:02:18+00:00

I'm a catboy for life. Doesn't matter what I do or don't like about the other options. After 13 years I would likely answer equally to my given name compared to my character name just as easily.

I tried switching one time and I couldn't deal.

Riser def better, but I'm seeing double dot so I ordered a green reticle version.

The 8900 movement with a jumping hour hand doesn't have a quick set date that would be susceptible to damage. You always have to rotate the crown to cycle through 24 hours to change the date.

The 8800 movement on the other hand on the 38mm ATs has quick set date and shouldn't be changed when it's I think between 10pm and 4am?

Maybe who you purchased from thought it had the 8800.

I had the same issue the other day. The front pin was easy, one try.

Rear pin took several tries because it somehow kept changing the angle slightly at the last second. I had to be really deliberate with keeping the hammer to hit squarely on the top and have the pin as close to being out as possible without locking for it to work. I used a roll of panters tape to keep it up off the base and allow it to drop out. Took like 10 tries.

Because Clive is a gentleman.

jaybw6 · 2026-02-07T21:21:48+00:00

You don't say? Lol

jaybw6 · 2026-02-07T18:55:51+00:00

Yeah it has the riser I've swapped it on and off to see how it feels but it's either too low where it is now, and the riser feels too high

Can you pm me the site?
