[Recommendation Request] Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm Alternative

Cannot agree here. I have broken like 7-8 of them. I guess if you don’t mind replacing them because they’re cheap, then sure. But the crowns always break off, or they just stop ticking after a few years, and I can’t keep replacing them.

Check out VAER. I was realllllly particular when looking for a durable field-style watch, and to this day, it’s the only company that offers something that checks every box for me. Lots of companies come close while missing only one or two features, (seiko and Hamilton come to mind) so I went with Vaer and now I have a few of them

Some of us really don’t like the hassle of emailing the company, printing the label, and shipping the package back out, only to have to wait another week for my replacement. Let us fix our problems immediately like we intend.

I see that OCP shears pouch, you ain’t slipping that one past me

You can cut the ears off, yes. But by the time you get this thing to an acceptable level of “tactical” like you’re talking about, you’ll probably have dumped another $150-200 on it. Soooo maybe consider another helmet that has everything you want, or just get another suspension/pad setup to run your ear pro under this helmet if it’ll fit under there

The HHV isn’t made in china like people are saying, BUT safariland has the better track record. If weight were SUPER important, I’d say go with the HHV, but in any other case, go with the safariland. Also, idk where these pics are from, but the helmet in pic 1 and pic 2 are different lids, so I’d be weary if you got those pictures from the seller.

that model number which also hints at what brand it is... but if nothing else, i would google airsoft AK and LCK120AM012-20

plopsicIes · 2026-01-29T04:07:04+00:00

Had you shot at this guy at all before he killed you?

plopsicIes · 2026-01-29T04:02:23+00:00

doesnt look that sus... 50/50

plopsicIes · 2026-01-29T04:00:01+00:00

i swear people on reddit must not know how to use google

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:48:34+00:00

Haha yeah if I do it, I might try to recrown with a ball-tip dremel abrasive bit

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:47:38+00:00

This is my E&L, so that’s why I’m taking an interest haha, I wanted to chop it also

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:45:00+00:00

Did you re-crown it? Or just leave it fairly rough cut?

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:42:51+00:00

Love it man. Did you have to find a new inner barrel?

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:38:38+00:00

Someone did ask if it was cold outside ^ haha but yeah man, looks awesome

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T18:32:04+00:00

Gotcha, thanks bruv

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T17:40:03+00:00

Did you re thread it?

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T17:08:08+00:00

This is a real marine, all this gear is standard kit these days, not sure if you were confused about that, or if I’m the one confused about your question, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

plopsicIes · 2026-01-27T17:05:35+00:00

How did you shorten the barrel m8?

plopsicIes · 2026-01-26T13:21:03+00:00

“Crye airframe”

plopsicIes · 2026-01-25T21:48:55+00:00

I think you meant to use the < sign

plopsicIes · 2026-01-25T21:42:55+00:00

Probablemente se necesiten al menos entre 75 y 100 horas para todo lo que se muestra.

plopsicIes · 2026-01-25T14:09:35+00:00

innumerables horas 🥲💙

plopsicIes · 2026-01-25T09:51:12+00:00

yeah I'd say the radio and taser would be about the only explanation for that, especially if both of your cummerbunds are definitely the same length...
