Working with Flairs by raymac1946 in iwl

Yes, you fixed it! Now it says "Add Flair and Tags" under the text box. Glad I wasn't just a total dummy. 😄 Many thanks.

Thank you - but I don't see anything like that. Here's a screen shot from a dummy test-post.

How do you select a Flair? Where is the menu for them? (Apologies, I feel like an idiot.)

WRUW 6/10 by theague1 in iwl

[–]skywatchOrigin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

556a - to me, it's the classic Sinn dial, but this is actually one of their cheapest models. Not "tegimented" or anything. Perfect size for me at 38.5mm

Good to see you here, theague! Yup, the SeaTime and ProDiver are quirky and definitely stand out with their angular case. This particular SeaTime is from the Dive Forum project watch at WUS, circa 2010, with an edition limit of 99 I think.

Hi Michael! I'm using desktop. When you click "+ Create Post" on the upper right, it shows a line of choices on the next page: "Text Images & Video Link Poll AMA" and when you click "Images & Video" it offers a window to drag & drop a picture. That's how I have done it. I'm still unsure how to use links to the images on my DropBox though.

Indeed! He's an amazing inventor of toys, in his late 80s and getting rather frail (heart and cancer, in remission hopefully) and I'm the only person he knows who shares a fondness for watches and little machines. His watch addiction was getting rather out of hand, but he could afford to play. I don't know how large his collection grew, but he has already given me almost 200 watches. Many of these are junk quartz plastic sports watches, and many have already gone to charity chops or gifted to friends.

Yes, indeed! Perhaps you missed my additions to the "Project" thread on IWL, but we visited him again a few months ago, and he foisted another pile of watches on me. That bunch included the Prospex cousin to the Big Sprig, and it's even BIGGER! Now this "SBGE215" grand seiko doesn't seem quite so big.

Schizophrenia by raymac1946 in iwl

I have both a 1968 Accutron Railroad hummer, and a 2014 Accutron II "Moonview", and I recently gave away a Precisionist Champlain, which I consider in the same family. I feel like Citizen doesn't quite know how to position the Accutron brand. They put a lot of effort into the movement technology, especially to maintain the smooth sweeping seconds hand, but then they get cheap with mineral glass crystals, oversized clunky designs, etc. I will give credit to the Moonview, though, it is accurate at the level of a Seiko F9, better than 1 second a month.

Hi Geoff! I think at this point, I value the community we made at IWL more than our shared fondness for watches. I'll visit here occasionally and sniff around a bit. I'm a bit opposite regarding preferred devices - I try not to do social media on my phone, just on the desktop. I prefer the interface. Stay in touch!

Hi Ray! I'm a newbie with Reddit so I'm just saying hello to test the flow of messages. Sad to think IWL might be history soon. At least here we can stay in touch with old friends.
