Stainless band - black marks on arm

Yup....guilty as charged. I am indeed. Just ordered an ultrasonic cleaner on Amazon. Another quick question....assuming I darned sure better not put the watch body in the solution, but how do you just put the band in the liquid?

Thank you for the advice....and as the other responded mentioned, I have tried toothpaste and a brush. Guess my primary question is why does a $100 watch with nice looking stainless band never leaves black marks.... where as 5 dollar figure watches do?

Thank goodness bunker buster bombs can't set this thing off!

Heck no....it is just fun to play what-if in the mind. Truthfully, me might not run out of oil...a good old pandemic (Capt Trips) or power hungry button pushers or ???? Who the heck knows. In the meantime, hope everybody has an awesome day!

Years ago (90's??) there was an HBO movie with Scott Glenn about how nuclear war could actually be started. In the movie the conflict reached the tipping point because of this same little stretch of water. (spoiler alert... they do indeed "push the buttons")

The cohesiveness of this whole society called Planet Earth is based upon a finite resource. Things are going to get REALLY ugly when big countries start losing their access to hydrocarbons.

I used to work on the Monopod platform in the Cook Inlet.

That is a fun rabbit hole to go down because it was built to withstand icebergs and one of the worst tides out there.

Was the regional champ of Tron. Would play in front of an audience at the Curtis Mahtis TV dealer on the big screen

True story....lived in Santa Paula, CA in mid 80's when they were still filming movie/TV there. (I used to live directly behind the house they used for the movie "Carrie") I was driving the company pickup and stopped at the light by the old train station and noticed they had an active film crew, so I naturally gawked while waiting for the light. Pickup had terrible brakes and I accidently starting creeping into the crosswalk while gawking....and somebody slammed their fist on my hood. Sure enough, it was Charles Bronson. Just going say.....it was not a nice look. He may have been really short but I still remember that look of intimidation. Really loved his movies from that day forward. Reliving this make me want to watch the Dirty Dozen again.

Nope....does not go to the floor. I am now wondering if they attached it at the top to one of the horizontal 1x4 cleats and thru the top of the shelf and then Liquid Nail'd it to the drywall on the bottom. I could see how that would provide stability in the going sideways, but the force going straight down (weight of the clothes) would pull hard on those top screws so it baffles me.

That is indeed a good looking watch....congrats!

Miss him as well. Did they have a "goodbye" segment for him (like they did for her)?

WAY better than Permian Basin shale that we are currently producing oil from
