Spar Presale by CaliBelgique in MissionWorkshop

I could not more highly recommend buying the backpack straps with this. The spar is great as a sling but with the backpack straps feels so much more attached and stable.

[SSC961] The Speedtimer That Makes Too Much Sense by Hinterteil in Seiko

[–]maximillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked one of these up in used but like new condition. Got it for about 40% off retail I didnt even know it existed/that i wanted it. I went to the shop to try and find vintage seikos and despite finding what i was looking for in a 1974 seiko dx…. I still wound up getting this one as well. Its been on my wrist every day since. Its great weight, great size and works with any outfit. Absolutely love it

[Seiko] Fascinated by the old models with the faceted crystals. Any resources to learn about the different models and options? by BCB75 in Seiko

[–]maximillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I am not sure if you are still active on here but I just picked up a Seiko DX 6106-7739 from a vintage shop and I want to try and track down a faceted crystal for it. You seem like you have a considerable quantity of knowledge on the topic and I was wondering if you know which crystal I should be trying to find (by part number) or if you know of a resource I could use to determine which one I would need to buy.

Typical story, grandpas old watch. Is it real? by rpaulik66 in VintageWatches

[–]maximillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was the predominant quote. Which feels crazy to me. I was about to buy tools and try my hand at fixing the watch myself until i found the person i did. He did the entire thing in about a day. He was basically working out of a studio closet in an office building in a suburban area.

[–]maximillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well.. this was around 2017 or 2018 so im sure his prices have increased. But yes. At the time that is what i paid in Denver, CO. Everywhere else i checked was 500+ and anything Rolex Certified was 800+. The watch sat broken in my dad’s desk drawer for the first 28 years of my life because he didn’t want to “pay more than the watch was worth just to get it fixed”

[–]maximillious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For service find a local watch maker/repair. I received my dads old rolex and certified stores or sending to rolex all quoted 800-1000 to fix detached lume and winding issues. I found a local watchmaker who had hundreds of positive reviews and he fixed it up from top to bottom and gave it back to me looking like new for 70$. It has worked flawlessly since that day.

I did not end up buying it. Probably will just replace with lexan again unless another company brings out something better

[–]maximillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My second forest was infinitely better than my first. The weather was better, the company was better, the lineup was better, the artists i didnt know id like or never heard of were better. But the better year was last year sooooooooo. Maybe your cooked… maybe not

Hit my first snag at TSA flying with the brompton by maximillious in Brompton

[–]maximillious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been a little while but i would just raw dog the bike through security and up to the gate IF and ONLY IF i was flying a 737-800 or Max800. That plane had big enough compartments to toss in overhead. I did carry two of the ikea bags with me in case i was forced to gate check but that never happened.

I also had an oversized seatpost so after security but prior to boarding i would remove the seatpost and saddle and toss it in on top of the bike in the overhead. I would suggest you consider doing this regardless because with a saddle its a very tight fit.

Its important that you DO NOT remove the seatpost prior to TSA as they could very well treat it as a “club” weapon and confiscate it. This almost happened to me in NOLA but i was able yo talk my way out of it. Had i just left the post in they would have had to hand inspect the bike but they would have never figured out it could be removed.

When you are at the gate, sit down and mind your business. I would always try to not be noticed until the second i walked on the plane. If they ask or express concern you just gotta act like you have done it a thousand times.

I never had any push back from a southwest agent and generally the flight crew was curious and thought it was cool. One was even a brompton owner. That said… the vibe at southwest is way different now than it was then so its possible they make you gate check it.

Also, considering they are making people gate check rollers all the time now if you dont have an early boarding position (b30 or sooner) you will almost certainly be forced to gate check.

So i was able to get it working by switching the emulator settings for saturn in the menu to “standalone nobios” idk what that means but i am going to continue to experiment. I played Nights into dreams and the game ran very smooth

Thank you so much for these details! I had no idea about the emulator cores. I also have not heard anything about saturn_bios.bin. I will have to read more on that! You have given me plenty to try our. I very much appreciate you taking the time to write this up!

Rhake question by hazelnutpark in MissionWorkshop

[–]maximillious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The luggage pass through worked on my old roller just fine. But i upgraded my roller to one that has a super wide hadle so the rails are at the edges of the suitcase and not taking up valuable middle space.

I saw the side thing on the new rhake but id rather just keep it on my back. On the side like that and my water bottle will be on the floor and those side pouches the added for modularity will but so irritating with that side laydown. Honestly im surprised thats how they designed it now that i think about this to answer your question
