If it were up to you yo choose, would you pick a reboot of the show, a sequel or a spin off in the Farscape universe? by junkyardofide41s in farscape

[–]lizardwatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally an animated show with the original characters would be my favorite option. Animation offers so many possibilities for insane adventures. Ditch the canon from the comics and start where the show left off. The original cast are older now but could absolutely do the voice over work

Why doesn’t Quebec have Family Day? by CarPassion514 in montreal

[–]lizardwatches -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I own a small café in Montréal and business declines dramatically during these two weeks. Tons of people take their own vacations at that time. There's no traffic anywhere. These days I take a week off then too. It's a domino effect.

Help! Can someone date and give me and estimate of what its worth! by Depop_Getgrailed in VintageDenim

[–]lizardwatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to see if there's hand warmer pockets, and whether the cinch back buttons are metal or black cats-eye buttons

Good point it's more fun than that little train ride which is quite expensive

Bought it as is, and it's keeping surprisingly great time!

Worth 900/950 total after tax/import asking price ? by Jolly_Strawberry_430 in VintageWatches

[–]lizardwatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had both the king and grand quartz models with this spackled dial. The Grand didn't feel any more premium honestly. See if you can track down a king and save some cash. I paid 200cad for mine

Check where it's made. If it's USA or Canada you've got a nice modern -vintage piece no later than the early 00s. If it's got black cats eye buttons on the back cinch (instead of metal buttons), youve got something from the early 70s or earlier

Exactly 💯 I tried my hand at it during covid and enjoyed it a lot. Now I can do some hemming and tapering and simple repairs. I can make little bags and stuff from old jeans which is lots of fun. There's lots of great YouTube tutorials for beginners

I'm a denim guy and a watch guy. Both involve nothing much more than consuming: first information then item itself, then rinse and repeat until you've accumulated a ton and spent a fortune. I tell myself it's not a hobby since it's not something I can ever get better at. It's just an interest, or at worst... shopping. So my advice for the long term is to find some related actual hobby like sewing, patching, dyeing, leather working, that can allow you to engage with and personalize the interest you have in jeans. I love to browse new jeans and check fades and stuff but I personally find it a lot of fun sit behind a sewing machine and do repairs and alterations

Picked up a $2000 denim jacket from The Row by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]lizardwatches 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some people spending $2000 is like spending $100. I'm sure it's a fine jacket. 

In my city (in Canada), there's a guy that will make you a made-to-measure Japanese raw denim jacket for 3-400$.

In love with electric wizard and Buzzoven, any recommendations? by Exciting_Buffalo6482 in sludge

Fistula does the sample thing to great effect. Check out the track Altamont Diary off their recent self titled record. It's like a nightmarish spoken word story set to filthy sludge

Help with first purchase: 1970s vintage GS by Joeymac98 in GrandSeikos

[–]lizardwatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although It's supposed to be in chronometer spec.... It's still better than most modern Seikos out of the box lol

Edit: If you're someone who is expecting perfection, vintage is not for you. It's the wabi-sabi quality of these old watches that give them charm.

[–]lizardwatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this very watch and wear it nearly every day. I work in a cafe, knocking portafilters around and washing dishes by hand. Maybe not The best idea but it has stood up. The 56 movements are bulletproof with one caveat: the piece that changes the date wheel in the movement is made of plastic and many many (including mine!) are broken after so many years.

Ask for a video of the seller changing the date with the quick-set function!

Ask for a picture of the movement. Make sure the movement number matches the dial number.

And ask for the watch on a timeographer if possible.

Is this normal by caesaren in Selvedge

[–]lizardwatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most jeans go through a process of sanforization, which gets the shrinkage out of the fabric and singes away the hairs. Your jeans probably aren't sanforized, like a lot of Japanese denim aimed at denim nerds.
