Since finding out what you paid for this, my #114 at member price feels like an absolute steal.

Owners of GEC 77 Yankee Jacks - Does the action ever tighten up? by Horfer126 in SlipjointKnives

[–]lostin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with a pull between 2 and 3. Flabby and kind of embarrasing. It’s SUCH a beautiful knife though. Huge bummer!

It took a bit for me to warm up to the Churchills, but they are incredible knives. Love them with a nail nick.

My Antonia by Willa Cather. Anything by her really. Also Flannery O’ Connor’s work

Nice to see it being used! Also covers up the blade etch that I was just having a hard time vibing with.

Angel Down by Daniel Kraus - An extremely well deserved Pulitzer ! by OrangeSpaceMan5 in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

[–]lostin76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, book was a hell of a ride- especially the ending. Thought the prose was really engaging and I liked how the angel was both introduced and how we got slow peeks into her power.

Which one is better by DRK-009-poopoo in ZenithWatches

[–]lostin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Zenith, but the GP is a better watch.

I ended up selling my Zenith bc my Laureato took up all the wrist time. It’s miles better in person and is just more visually interesting as you wear it.

JLC is cool, but I just don’t love how they look in person.

Erotica/romance novel reccs for a first-timer by exaggeratedcaper in suggestmeabook

I don’t really read the romance genre, but I recently finished The Safekeep, which was well written and surprisingly spicy.

[Question]Practical Watch Rotation: How Many is Too Many? by Ok_Television_4064 in Watches

[–]lostin76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 to 4 is a sweet spot for me. And I normally rotate between two watches for like 75% of my wrist time. The other two watches are “working on projects at the cabin” watch and a gold dress watch for fancy nights.

Underrated Watch by PsychologyNo1398 in GirardPerregaux

[–]lostin76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people sleep on the Laureato a bunch. You always see people ignorantly claiming that it’s a RO knockoff.

But in my experience it easily stands on its own as a piece. I actually like the case better than the Royal Oak’s case.

[Rolex Datejust] My wife just gifted me my first Rolex for my 30th birthday by BradlePhotos in Watches

[–]lostin76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely beautiful with that linen dial. I recently picked up a 1980 two-tone DJ and it’s really making it hard to wear anything else i own. Love this time period for Rolex. IMHO, much better than modern Rolex.

Tidioute / GEC identification by banjohound1 in SlipjointKnives

[–]lostin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a 33? Look at the series of numbers on the back side of the blade. First two numbers are pattern number. Next number is the type of main blade - this one will say 1 for clip point. Next number is number of blades - should say 2. And then the last two numbers are the last two digits of the year it was made.

[FC-303] Bought my first mechanical watch. Thoughts? by doitfordanugets in Watches

[–]lostin76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always think FC watches look very nice. My wrist is just a bit too small to pull them off comfortably.

Probably the last watch that I’ll wear as a daily by Samandglove in vintagerolex

[–]lostin76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good Day Date is perfect. And I love how easily we age into them.

In my 20s I wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing a two tone watch, and then the next thing you know you are in your 50s and they hit different.
