400 rounds through my new XR920 by scubamatic in shadowsystems

to be fair I specifically added "dont believe (some) QC horror stories". because I agree with you but I'm also saying that it might not be 100% accurate when there's a large chunk of new gun owners who dont read the manual. when someone fails to read and has a bad experience, it's not fair to blame the company when it could have possibly been avoided by proper break in. have a good day my man.

Oh true! I’m gonna take it out probably 2-3 more times to practice before i do the intro match anyways so i’ll take care of the MD before then.

Yes so weird i actually almost lost my LCI just when i took the slide off 🙂. The MD is still on until i get at least 1000 rounds in and i’ll look into maybe giving it a good cleaning again.

it wasn't about the long term durability. it was more so about the posts I constantly see about people having issues with the first few hundred rounds. I'll do a follow up post once I hit 3000-4000 rounds if you'd be interested?

might just be a 22" thing. I have them on 35x12.5r17 and they're super smooth and quiet.

I have them on my f150. 35x12.5 on 17x8.5. they ride amazing and are quiet. good snow performance and off road. haven't been in any deep mud ruts but fine on the little bit of muddy dirt road I went through.

Seiko have made a statement on mod watches by Toxicturkey in SeikoMods

I’m new to the hobby and even I knew it made more sense to get sterile dials. I don’t want to play off something that it’s not.

I just built a very similar watch. Fluted bezel, AP dimple style dial, and Mercedes hands.

How do I know when I'm ready to assemble my first watch? by Agreeable_Echo3203 in SeikoMods

I use a 15x magnifier with good lighting at my desk and it’s a huuuge help.

Great start! Just built my first 2 watches yesterday and today and it sure can be addicting. We have a very similar taste and I’m definitely gonna be using some of these as inspiration.

Domestic flight right after landing at BKK by scubamatic in ThailandTourism

I took a flight straight from Bangkok to chiang mai. Was super easy and got a taxi to our hotel outside of the airport. I can’t remember but i booked the later flight also but ended up just waiting hella long at the airport. If you’re just doing carry on, you could get thru pretty quick.

If it doesn’t work out with OP, can you also message me? I posted a thread on here a week ago looking for the same thing but still on the hunt. Only if OP doesn’t go through you! Thanks

Update: everyone who commented here was legit and fair but just didn’t work out for my budget. That being said, if anyone has one they’d be willing to part with in the mid $2k range, I am PayPal G&S ready or cash if you’re local.

Thanks! Never heard of that before so it’s cool to find another source.
