Wrist Shot Friday!

Or an Hermes Sticker on a seiko?

Id rather have a Seiko. Any Seiko

edit: but then it's Shal.... If he wants to spend 13k on a quatz Hermes... I guess that's fitting for him.

Totally. I don’t gripe people for getting something else, but trying to pass it off as something it’s not is a real mindfuck for me.

Same as fake m cars and amg’s to me, I find the concept bizarre.

[ercchry]

Gonna forget by Friday...

Watch Gang actually had a legitimate good buy, on a real brand for once... got a special edition Turtle, instantly took it off the stainless and onto a nato. Love the bezel on this one. Machined finish, probably won’t see it though with the degrading of this upload

Love it. I Just can't get on board with the natos. I've never worn one, but I just don't like the way they look. Maybe in person it's different.

[ercchry]

Very comfy, sheds some weight too, saves the stainless from desk rash as well. Good enough for Bond, good enough for me :rofl:

...I do have a more Bond inspired stripped nato in the mail for it as well

[taemo]

that turtle looks great, I've always wanted to own one even though they are huge.

Nice Snow flake, it is on my to buy list.

Toss a few straps in the cart for this little guy when I ordered my nato for the turtle...

Grandfather’s old watch, was recently gifted from my grandmother (he passed a few years back now)

...36mm feels weird, but now that it’s off the tired old two tone bracelet, I’m kind of liking it

I have a 30 year old brushed/yellow gold seiko thats about a 36mm from my late uncle that I can't wear because the bracelet is too small. Maybe I will think about changing it out and actually wear it.

I always love and want a RJ watch, love their cool idesa and stunning material.. but their price was so outrageous.. :eek:

Lately, there are some good deals from Japan, (They are in deep financial difficulty, so sad :( ) and with low Japanese yen lately, finally pull my trigger for one! :love::nut:

But I didn't know that this limited edition is much bigger than the regular version! 49mm is HUGE in today's trend! :werd:

Hope one day I can get their Mario or Pac man edition! :love:

Very, very nice, my next one is going to be an Omega Seamaster. Should anyone see a good condition used one w/blue face+bezel, pls sound off. Not having much luck finding ones that are reasonably priced (ie all of the ones I've found so far are nearly the same price as new ones - I know to be expected, but wow).

Nice Sub as well Littledan, I have a similar one, replaced my green bezel/anniversary Submariner with it, and I've found I like it much more than my anniversary/green bez watch.

[SJW]

I know it’s Monday but fuck it I love watches.
This is one of my favs

SJW, you have a fantastic collection, based on the 4 or 5 watches you posted last page in the thread, plus this Seiko. Love it. Maybe I'll post today/Monday myself later on as well. Watches/higher end knives/.22 handguns are the 3 things I truly have loved collecting over the years. Your 5.56 rifle round in the last pic (looks like 5.56 anyway) has inspired...

It's a 223. I'm all about guns n watches.

[killramos]

Guns and Watches are fun

[Gman.45]

It's a 223. I'm all about guns n watches.


Figured so - .223/5.56. What type of firearms are you into? At my max I had about 80, but I worked in the business, and 1/2 of that number were .22 handguns I'd been collecting since I was 18. About 20 AR platforms/uppers as well. I also have been collecting PC flight sim HOTAS systems since I was 12, I have a few dozen various sets, and have invested enough to buy a couple new Submariners on Virpil and VKB hardware in the last few years (new upstarts in high end flight sim controllers).

Sorry, don't want to drag the thread off topic - both of these were gifts, the Hoback Husky knife is about the best $1000 CAD you can spend on a knife IMO, 12oz of titanium frame that is absolutely perfect in terms of construction, screws, lock up, pivot/etc. 1/4 inch/6.4 MM Nitro-V "Supersteel" blade. Huge, heavy, love it. The Sea Dweller was used and a gift from my uncle who has since passed. Either my Iphone SE camera sucks, or I suck at using it (more likely).

#Texas

[Gman.45]

I'm in once we're back in Calgary. Texas = hopefully our home in the future, heh. My father was in the ICU for most of March with Covid 19, he had pneumonia, kidney failure, and some other infections that really kicked his ass, resulting from the Covid initial infection (this is what the doctors/nurses tell me at least). Had him back at his home for April, but he was experiencing massive "brain fog", it was like he instantly got Alzheimers - finally took him back to the ER, they admitted him, then gave me the whole "ho hum" deal about his condition, and wouldn't let me stay with him in the hospital due to Covid rules.

They called me 6 hours later and said he was in arrest, not breathing, no heartbeat, and to get back there. Broke the speed of sound on the ground getting there (LC 500 is loud when pressed, amazed we didn't get called in at 4am in such a small town), and he was already back conscious by the time we arrived. But, he's back in the ICU, so we'll be staying in his town for a while. Again, once we're back in Calgary, I think a guns/watches/cars/etc meetup would be a lot of fun, I've only met a few Beyonders in person with the motorbikes/cars I've sold back in the day, and would be great to know more in person...

Again, sorry for the o/t babbling, I'll keep it down now.

[vengie]

I like guns, watches, beer and cars.

Gman I'm into hunting so I mostly shoot to eat meat and a couple of 9mm rifles for the home. My favorite fuck shit up rifle is the Keltec sub 2000 that folds in my backpack when I hike (not in city carry). No one knows im packin and I have 3 magazines ready to party.

My main hunting rifle is a 300 winmag Tikka with Swaro scope. I shoot 200gr big boys. I can hit an animal anywhere and it goes down.

Now im into vintage motorcycles. I'm building an old honda CB right now.

My previous build.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6GFoI8nPo8 So to recap, watches, guns, motorcycles and killing ungulates.

[littledan]

Dont hate on my big toe.

Nice Littledan, even with the toe. Are you left handed, or are you carrying(cough training) that right handed IWB/appendix?

I have 2 rifles myself that are setup w/300 winmag and Nightforce optics, my friend who trained me mostly on precision rifle was an x Marine Scout/Sniper, and had instructed at the Marine Sniper school and mountain warfare school, and back then the USMCs precision rifles were .300 winmag. Great round for everything, so much better performance in range and energy than .308 (have several 308 rifles too).


Also, VERY cool bike SJW, that's fantastic. Ya, I want that bike now. I also laughed out loud at your recent green Mopar burnout vid too. I've ridden a lot of different bikes too, but nothing like your CB. I do have a good friend in the USA who builds/restores/rides similar bikes to yours, he sent this pic just a few weeks ago of what he's been riding now.

Another Walther Master Race affionado!

[littledan]

Nice Littledan, even with the toe. Are you left handed, or are you carrying(cough training) that right handed IWB/appendix?

Due to the recent Butts/Trudeau legislation that implements an assault on law-abiding watch owners, I can neither confirm nor deny that I own, train, conceal, or operate a fully automatic assault watch, capable of displaying 3 functions simultaneously, while running perpetually without ever needing a battery change. These types of fully automatic assault watches have no place in our society, even though the government has specifically authorised their purchase, ownership, and use for decades.
Nobody needs a seiko snk009 to take down a deer, and I for one have no intention of owning said watch when the authorities pay a visit to my residence to verify the watch has been stored according to the legislated provisions of being inserted into a condom and subsequently inserted into my prison wallet as the watch was lost, if ever owned, during a tragic mountain trialathalon canoe accident near Canmore.

Yours truly,

Mr. I.w.b. Strongside

Credit for the very astute observation whilst ignoring the toe.

SLA025

It's going to be for sale soon if you are interested. Wears a bit bigger than I like.

[Gman.45]

Beautiful Omega, again, something very similar is my next watch purchase. Speaking of Honda as well, I just drove home from visiting my dad in the ICU this morning, he's back in AGAIN post Covid related issues, and there is a Honda dealer right on the way out of the hospital road. They've got a new red Civic Type R, I'm going to go sit in it later today to check it out in person.

Great Tag Formula 1 Ercchry - my first ever decent watch purchase for myself was a Tag Heuer circa 1996.

Pacman, very nice, gl with a sale, I don't own any Seiko watches, maybe I should rectify that, so I might be interested if/when you decide to sell.

TheEdge111, I'm not very familiar with Sinn watches. Any info/intel on what you think about yours? After reading a bit about them this AM they seem to be very reasonably priced for what you get.

This thread = good times.

^^ So, so sick Team Mac, both wristwatch and car.

No pics for me until next Friday, but I finally found an Omega I liked (used, fantastic condition, pretty fair price too), and it'll be here early next week. I was so tempted to pick off the Civic Type R that I've been looking at all day/night from the window in my father's hospital room. He's been improving rapidly after coding out just a week and half ago, and kept telling me to "go buy that car, I'm tired of you pining for it". Still holding out for what I had planned to buy this summer instead though, but man, the Honda pics along with the watches had me talking to myself (again). I did sit in that Type R - man, Honda makes a great interior, fit me perfectly.

So, next week, a couple new watch pics, maybe accompanied some of the new blades I got in as well (some high end Medfords and a Shirogorov that don't make it up here all that often now thanks to the CBSA). Maybe some bullet chuckers too, we'll see.

So I hope some others put up some Friday pics today......

[SJW]

Need to change the dial but need new hands. Perhaps winter time.

Nice, lots of Omega (and Rolex) lovers here ...

I recommend to buy Omega from Japan, usually mint condition, and fair price too. (with weak Yen lately) However, duty/tax/shipping/handling fees could be very high too, depends your luck! But some models/version we don't see here, worth to try! :)

I just ordered my first watch from Japan, just to see how it goes with a less expensive one prior to getting something higher up the food chain. Bought a Casio G Shock MT-G MTGB1000D-1A stainless, for $850 from Japan which $300 less than any Canadian dealer I could find. Friend of mine had one when I bumped into him last week, and I was really impressed, and since he lives in Gatineau and we only see one another once or twice a year, he didn't care if I bought the identical watch as him. So, I'll take that advice belatedly. I have 2 Rolex and one Omega now (Sea Dweller and Stainless/Black Submariner), but I'll hopefully expand this year a bit.

In general, price for almost everything is cheaper in Japan than here, (not cars or house) even with 11-12% duty/tax, and $50-100 shipping fee, but for watches, only come with domestic Japan warranty. (Some retailers charge extra 5000yen + packaging fee, beware.

(Such nice day to go park with kids! Finally, outdoor watch photo with some Seiko love ! )

99347

[Gman.45]

Thanks for the advice re Japan, C4S. Great Seiko as well, a good Seiko is on my list for sure.

Disoblige, I love GShocks myself, I have a similar XL sized watch of theirs, and am about to get one of the Gshock steel watches in shortly, the MT-G MTGB1000D-1A model. Such great watches for the $.

It's not Friday, but I'm not the first to break the rules, plus I'll be out on the water on a friends boat that day. Finally got one off the list (Good used Omega)

Two things I always take with me one I go out, besides the usual wallet/keys/phone. A watch, and a pocket knife/tool. Posted before I was waiting on my Omega, it's got some miles on it, but it was a great deal. The Medford Knife and Tool (MKT) knife is excellent as well, slightly smaller than the last one (Hoback Husky) - this is the MKT 187 Flipper model, the titanium sides are both .187 width, as is the PVD coated D2 tool steel blade. Flips like a laser, crazy edge, and for the $800 after tax/shipping, probably my favorite folder knife atm. Thick, tough, chunky, yet precise instrument and tool.
