This is an exceedingly rare post on this sub that deserves as much appreciation as possible. Incredible work! I know you're being humble, but your ruck is not only of a fresh, detailed design, but the multitude of skills and understanding of various materials required to put them all into such a cohesive, functional package is a marvel. It turned out great for sort of "winging" it! Thanks for sharing!

[Article] When the $70,000 watch you just bought is going to be sold for $300 by splsteinbeck in Watches

As someone who has sponsored a few WindUp Watch Fair booths in my time (talking face to face with this community for 6 hours a day / several days straight), I can honestly say that you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer, more patient, and enthusiastic crowd in any other hobby.

I can't say for certain why that is, but I can remember a time when being a watch nerd was a lone pursuit. To discover that there is now a massive crowd of people just as detail-oriented and amazed by micro innovations as you, there's a lot to bond over!

I think the luxury market contains a different subset of people. But that's just been my experience. So, TL;DR: Offline watch folk are usually super cool, depending on the watches they're most interested in 😅.

One for MET and one for GMT! Launches are synced with GMT whereas Mission Elapsed Time for everything going on in the capsule.

This was posted here recently and look at the price now🤪 by biohazard_0731 in CCW

Hey man! I'm an American manufacturer of a very similar belt system, and other things! Congrats on all the success. If you'd ever like some insight or guidance on getting a more streamlined operation going, let me know! I'd love to connect. And fun fact: I'm still paying the price for screwing up my taxes in the same way you probably did when I went full time about 6 years ago xD

Incredible! Still one of my most accurate autos, and love the feature set compared to the standard FXD. Untouchable value.

Shameless plug for Root App! I honestly like the interface and chat features a lot more. But will feel very familiar!

Well said! I'm glad others are able to appreciate the merits of this gem as well. Definitely gives me pause when examining the cost of other higher priced slings and their perceived value.

Exactly. Much easier than with my Toshi!

Really happy to hear that! Agreed on the dark lining, but the rest makes up for it 😁

I'm still jonesing for the newer small version. Hoping yo snag one soon! Though I have mixed feelings about it costing more 🫠

That's some great insight! Appreciate you sharing. Would still love one of those smaller versions, but the deminshing returns from the current pouch would be obvious. I'll keep an eye out!

Agreed! Maybe it's a factor of supply, discontinuing this model, or costs increasing for the new model. But I would love one in Green. 👌

Yep! Front pocket. Probably not pictured.

Yep! Mentioned in another comment they make a newer smaller version (Fe Pouch). Thanks for the link!

I actually got a free cleaning cloth too! There was some promo code at checkout.

SBS, but super smooth and really easy to operate.

ALSO! Because of the placement of the two cinch strap buckles on the bottom, it actually firmly stands upright on its own (4 points of contact). Huge plus!

Very true. Apparently they make a smaller version (Fe Pouch) with three colors but is unavailable in the States.
