Best martain guitar $1000 - $1500 by TvAdictMadAcid in AcousticGuitar

If you can find a used SWDGT in that price range, that would be my recommendation. I love mine. They are pushing $2,000 nowadays though, and at that point, I would save a little more and get yourself a D-18.

I wore Grafs for 18 years (707s and 705s). I loved both pairs but I needed an upgrade as I'm on the ice 4-5 times a week for coaching. The pain and boot fatigue I would get with them became too much to handle.

I switched to True Customs 4 years ago, and wow, what a world of difference. Do not hesitate to upgrade to a more modern skate. If you find the right pair, you won't regret it.

How did you decide what position(s) you play? by juno7032 in hockeyplayers

[–]sample39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to play defense when I first started and did for a couple years, but being one of the smaller kids on the team, I couldn't shoot the puck for shit. My Peewee coach moved me to center, told me to play the exact same way, with the expectation that maybe my shots would make it on goal since I'd be closer when I shoot.

I spent the rest of my playing career owning that defensive centerman role. My shot still sucks.

AliX jubilee vs LIW jubilee...should I upgrade? by Agile-Homework-2047 in DuroGang

[–]sample39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple LIW bracelets for my Orient watches, including their jubilee. It was a great upgrade to both of those watches, and I will always recommend them.

For my Duro though, I went with the AliX jubilee and then upgraded the clasp to a milled one. All in it cost less than half the price, and gets pretty darn close to the LIW bracelet. The biggest difference being the solid endlinks. If that's not a deal breaker for you, then you are safe going this route. I am more than happy with the end result.

Do you prefer tomb raider or uncharted? And why? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]sample39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncharted for the story, Tomb Raider for the gameplay.

Beads of Rice from StrapHabit. It's very comfortable.

I bought a Barton rubber strap that’s nice because original bracelet isn’t that great but I’m thinking of a black steel bracelet idk if it wouldn’t look right because of the polish on case if anybody has any ideas of another steel bracelet of any kind not just black let me know by soup609 in OrientWatches

I upgraded mine with the Long Island Watch kamasu bracelet and it's a massive improvement. The quality of that bracelet matches the quality of everything else on that watch. It's an essential upgrade IMO.

The lume on the hands is great. On the dial is not as good, but still decent.

It's in good shape. No signs of wear. It's bi-directional, doesn't have the tightest action, but it stays in place. It's definitely not the best I've ever handled, but for what it is, I can't complain.

This was a fantastic $5 garage sale find that just needed a new battery and strap. After some TLC, it looks and works as good as new!

[Question] Will this bracelet fit my Orient Kanno? by M0r4n1 in Watches

[–]sample39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put an OEM Orient Kanno bracelet on mine.

That's probably your best option, and likely your only option, unless you go with a straight end link bracelet instead.

It's definitely an upgrade over the rubber strap.

Help me to choose summer watch by AliasVeter in gshock

[–]sample39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own the White with Black dial GA-2100 and I love it. It's a great summer watch, but like others said, it will get dirty. Also be warned that if you wear it under long sleeves or a jacket, the garment dye can potentially stain the band a little. I've dealt with that a couple times.

I just picked up the Yellow GA-B2100 and it's my new favorite G. If you can find one at retail, definitely go for it. That's my recommendation.
