I am shocked...shocked to learn that methamphetamine was found. I mean truly amaze...okay maybe not really amazed.
Or shocked. Or even a little surprised...

Given the list of "contraband" - I'm guessing the lizards were also stolen? Also, I think Oz has some pretty tough rules on the acquisition/keeping of indigenous fauna. I know when colleagues have...

I literally think the same thing all the time. Edibles don't stink and they get you just as high.

It makes zero fucking sense to me, if I'm honest.

I am consistently pissed off that I...

So, for sentimental reasons, this would be the one watch I would keep forever. Seiko 5 40th Anniversary Ref. SKZ205K1. It doesn't keep great time at -15 seconds a day or so. I set it two min fast on...

¿Por que no los dos?

Recognizing that regardless of all the other features I want - I definitely want a COSC Certified watch - because of my desired accuracy standards. It turns out there are a few brands that offer some...

I don't know the answer, but I know whatever the solution is - it won't be easy to execute.

That, I think, is what worries me the most. The people most equipped to do hard work are too busy being...

So, thanks to this thread I have learned a lot more about Swiss automatic movements and grades.

Mechanical watches are no different than any other enthusiast thing.

A smart watch, a Glock 19, and a Toyota Prius have a lot in common. They're all ugly but functional. Their lack of aesthetic...

I mostly use a Suunto compass.

But I downloaded this app yesterday: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/magnetized-wristwatch-checker/id6478119877

And I like the simple layout and use. But I...

Your phone, tablet, personal computer, a communications radio, any rotating electrical appliance (think a desk fan) all produce magnetic fields, albeit it small ones. Watches with decent...

I'd start with demagnetizing. One of my Seikos was -40 seconds/day. I demagnetized it and immediately returned to -5 seconds a day. You can buy an inexpensive demagnetizer on Amazon.

Just so I'm understanding correctly a

That watch you linked has a "Sellita top grade SW200-1 Swiss automatic movement"

This watch has a, "Sellita SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement, 26...

That one is pretty easy to answer. Small magnetic charges on parts with tiny tolerances = big braking effect.

Quartz escapes it, because fewer parts and slightly wider tolerances.

To answer...

I think this is a waste of time and ammo. Box everything up and ship it to me for disposal.

So, I thought I'd throw this out a bit of WHY - since Flamingo and I have talked about it. Many...

Watches are like guns. Only accurate and reliable ones are interesting.

Accuracy for me is +/- 10 seconds a day, with a strong preference of <2 seconds/day. Reliability is that I can fall off a...

I admit to normally not liking 'square' cases - but the Pam Radiomir is a beautiful watch to me. I know folks tend to like the Luminor for its protected crown - but the Radiomir is just...elegant.

I have been compiling the list of watches we seem to like under a G:

Victorinox
Marathon Quartz
G-Shocks of various stripes

I'm a bit surprised no one has said Seiko?

Has anyone tried any...

Fleming wore an Explorer. But...the first watch worn by Bond in Dr. No is a Gruen Precision 510.

If you think that's bad wait until you learn about the prostitute's actual test results...

Well...except that by all accounts it probably isn't true...Hillary wore a Smith's on his wrist and may have carried a Rolex in his pocket. Tenzing Norgay was supposed to have worn his personal...

It doesn't benefit you.

Theoretically, the ability to scale from prototype to production in hours or days is great for rapidly responding to a changing market and demands. If new guns dropped...

What do we think is the current production watch version of an HK USP? It needs to be analog, accurate, robust to the point of overbuilt, priced below a G.

I think the Bulova Accutron Astronaut circa 1962-67. The only watch (at the time) accurate enough to be worn by pilots of the fastest airplane ever built.

And for watch two: A ~36mm...

You could just make some light shooting .30-06 rounds with the existing bullets. Then give the kids a couple of sporterized '03s to match dad's. For the interim - get the cheapest Boyd's stock you...
