My EDC…
That’s me in the pic mate………
Can I have your autograph?
A new bracelet for my old reliable, cream-colored dial Explorer II. . I was surprised the bracelet costs this much now. ($1100!) The original bracelet so used it was already ‘snaky’ and broke one of its pins.
$1100 for a bracelet?
Yes, and the company takes away my old bracelet too as a matter of policy!
GEEZ! i could NOT do that!
i'd want to put it in a safety deposit box and get a clone ...the bracelet - not to mention the actual watch!...
i'm doomed to cheap watches.
fortunately i enjoy them.
though i do have an eye out for a "ventura loga".
$3500 on ebay.
If you like it, go for it !
Haha - I love the films too. I actually prefer the Alien series (well, most of them) but the Predator is seriously badass and has a better spaceship.
Alien and Aliens are my favorites. The other’s weren’t nearly as good.
I have the DVD box set of the first 4
My trusty vintage 1980 Sub Mdl. 1680 … in the rotation.
tell the truth,
do you REALLY let that thing get wet on purpose?
i could NOT do it :) i
don;t even like my $50 watches to get wet

I swim with my 100m water resistant Timex Expedition Crono. Never had a problem with moisture entering the watch. That said, I’d never let my new 50m water resistant Hamilton anywhere near water.
I wear my sub in fresh and salt water all the time. I keep it serviced and wear it without worry. I have been collecting watches for some 30 plus years and know how to care for them. I’ve been wearing this beater on a regular basis since I bought it new in 1980. Great watch.

Ditto……
As it happens, a scene from Alien 3 was filmed about three miles north of me.
I received my Casio G-Shock GW-M5610-1BJF today.
My first negative display g-shock, it’s even worse than what i though regarding readability, it’s terrible.
I bought it with the intent to mod it to positive display because the equivalent positive display model (GW-M5610 wich i had a few monthes ago) has a dial surrounding the display a tad too colorful for my tastes.
Hopefully i don’t mess up.
Are you planning to replace the polarizing film?
Yes, that’s the plan.
I found a picture of someone who did what i want to do but he changed the whole module instead of just the polarizing film, the one on the left is a GW-M5610-1B the same i have (see how the dial around the display is much more subdued on the 1B) and comes with a negative display, the one on the right is the GW-M5610-1 and comes with the positive display, what he did is just put a positive display module in the 1B.
There is also another route to have a square G-shock with the 3159 module a positive display and not to colorful dial, it’s the GW-5000 as seen below on the left, but it’s heavier (full stainless casing) much more expensive (north of 300:money_mouth_face: and i like the dial less than the GW-M5610-1B
I have been digging the watch micro brands lately. Just received the Spinnaker Fleuss. Really like it so far and receiving some wrist time in the EDC rotation.
