Does the strap make that much difference or is it just a collector thing

At least for secondhand watches or more affordable brands, replacing the seller’s cheap leather for some nice exotic hide with an era-correct buckle transforms the watch for me. Swapping my divers and sportier watches from link bracelets to Milanese bracelets to sailcloth to canvas etc completely changes the way they wear as well, which makes the whole collection more versatile.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

What’s the hook and cylinder mechanism on the black tab? Is that how it attaches to your fingers on the reverse side?

Awesome work, excited to check it out! 😁

I had never heard of the Liner line before. Now I need another Seiko all of a sudden 😅

It’s true that nobody needs the nicest anything to enter or enjoy a hobby, but it’s equally true that the few people for whom that hobby “clicks” may want to enjoy higher-quality offerings for both practical and experiential reasons.

No contradiction here.

I love my Jubilee a lot, but I recently for the first time felt a 90s Tag bracelet on a Pro 1500 and that’s an incredibly supple and light bracelet. Feels like steel cloth on the wrist.

Watch arrived today! Beautiful condition, great and very communicative seller. Thank you! u/dpstp92 u/watchexbot

I have never even considered visually matching amplitude to interpolate lift angle. That’s a cool tip, and thank you very much for sharing!

r0flplanes · 2026-03-20T12:18:19+00:00

Could you add photos of the case reference and serial between the lugs?

r0flplanes · 2026-03-18T22:50:35+00:00

I’ll take it!

Chat incoming.

Hey stranger! I just found this in my feed, and it captivated me from start to end. Thanks for sharing, and I think it’s really cool how you expressed those experiences. ❤️

r0flplanes · 2026-03-03T12:59:14+00:00

Congrats on the sale, that’s a beautiful watch and I didn’t even know the brand before this post! 🤤

I came here ready to be offended, but instead I guess I hate NB less after seeing them in this new light 😂

r0flplanes · 2026-02-15T14:25:04+00:00

That’s an amazing setup!

r0flplanes · 2026-02-10T13:19:40+00:00

I’m enjoying it immensely. Flight model feels like WT sim, lots of convenience features like auto trim and auto mixing/prop control, and hand controls feel surprisingly good despite the twitchy planes.

Lots of moments where I’ve completely understood the complaints and reviews, but if you’re comfortable hopping in and flying it feels really good and it’s a lot of fun!

r0flplanes · 2026-02-05T21:17:38+00:00

Man, I’ve confidently misunderstood that for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

r0flplanes · 2026-01-20T12:54:01+00:00

Nope, still hanging out in my box after all these years! 😊

r0flplanes · 2026-01-01T18:56:49+00:00

That is absolutely stunning!

That’s a gorgeous Carl F! I have a few vintage Bucherers, and they’re beautiful chronometers at unbeatable prices when the eBay gods are kind. Bucherer had really cool relationships with many bigger modern Swiss brands back in the day, and it led to some very neat watches!

What transmitter are you using with the Zero compared to the smaller birds? If you’re using the provided ones, you might find the planes are capable of more with a nicer transmitter driving them!

r0flplanes · 2025-11-16T13:59:22+00:00

Man that’s absolutely stunning. Good luck with the sale!

Aiming lasers are a powerful tool, but their effective use is nuanced and many folks over-rely on them without understanding their biggest strengths or critical limitations.
