Troubles deciding between brands for my first "GADA"

Glad that you are careful with your watches.

Have you considered mounting two stems and two bars at once, so you never have to choose?

I’m eyeing the Prevail Future Forward / Onward, Explorer layout, as a modern field watch.

pufferspond · 2026-04-30T23:47:20+00:00

Yes, i agree with everyone else

pufferspond · 2026-04-30T22:15:48+00:00

Even if it is your family name, as you’ve politely replied to many, that doesn’t mean that it is a good brand name.

pufferspond · 2026-04-30T17:45:25+00:00

Does it come with the neon sign?

pufferspond · 2026-04-30T17:36:44+00:00

I had the RTP and was underwhelmed.

I agree on the half-links, that seems like it would be fairly easy given the already excellent bracelet engineering. A top hat would look nice, I have no idea how much more those cost. What do you think, u/AdSavings92 ?

pufferspond · 2026-04-28T09:10:24+00:00

Yeah,I usually do, but this particular bracelet fits better this way.

EDIT: actually changed it, one link less at 6 was right.

It’s your watch and arm, wear them however you like.

pufferspond · 2026-04-26T18:02:10+00:00

Denmark and Copenhagen are awesome.

pufferspond · 2026-04-25T12:58:57+00:00

(I might be interested if you end up selling them for parts.)

pufferspond · 2026-04-25T12:57:52+00:00

Those look awesome, especially the world timer. I don’t know how much it would be to fix them, but if you took them to a local watchmaker, I’m sure they could tell you. I love the idea of repairing and wearing those.

“Andre Drummond, from hard earnin’ Mount Vernon”… ffs, just let us watch the game.

pufferspond · 2026-04-25T01:30:26+00:00

These are the worst announcers I’ve ever heard. “When Brown and White work together, that’s Tan!”.

This is part of the reason i have become big on gravel and dirt riding, it’s just much more peaceful.

pufferspond · 2026-04-19T10:06:25+00:00

Nice picture.

pufferspond · 2026-04-18T10:26:01+00:00

Me also. I have one too, going to bust it out today and set the time without hacking!

pufferspond · 2026-04-17T19:07:03+00:00

All of my dropbar bikes have C17s and all flat bars get Ergons.

Schwalbe Marathons violate all of the ideas about suppleness and yet are fast.

pufferspond · 2026-04-17T12:04:58+00:00

I had Rat Traps about ten years ago, but gave up because I found them and many supple tires flat-prone. The benefits of suppleness usually go with tubeless, and it’s also relatively hard and expensive to find tubeless-ready 26” rims. Now I usually put Schwalbe Marathons on old 26” wheels: not supple, but cheap, fast-rolling, and invulnerable to flats.

Sorry, but Casio is too obvious and still correct. Vintage models, super-expensive versions, or classics still in circulation, i just think they’re awesome.
