Possible Central Ohio GTG?

Who would be interested? Thinking of possibly doing this in about a month. @TheMadVlad I know you’re interested.

Odd position for me to be in.

Since I began this journey back in 2013, I have very rarely been in a position where I was able to purchase new watches, but didn’t want to. I am curr...

I have given away many watches over the years. Recently this year I have given several to @TheMadVlad and his bud EJ. I currently sit at 4 regular pieces; my Redwood Tactical Diver V3, Heimdallr Monster, Islander ISL101, and fully modded Casio Royale. Plus 2 retired sentimental pieces, dad’s Timex Expedition and grandpa’s pocketwatch.

Other than that I have my upgraded Orient Mako 2 that I’m selling to a friend, and they know who they are.

Long way of saying I have 4 watches, but could easily go down to 2 and be completely content.

I’ve had a couple Torpedos and also a few of the Steelix model. All regular quartz. For me they are extremely comfortable. That said, the hands are all too short, the lume is next to non existent. The date is printed way too small, smaller than on most watches in fact.

What killed them for me is that I purchased a brand new bracelet from Momentum for the Steelix. It killed the watch for me. The bracelet was so uncomfortable, not only a hair puller but a pincher. Also the end links did not fit the case well. I quickly got rid of the watch after this experience. I will not buy anything else from Momentum.

commented on Casio AE1200 - Show me your mod! ·

The only aftermarket cases I am aware of are from Skxmod for the Casio F105 and AE1200. Kranio Design also makes a case for the AE1200 but it is more expensive.

commented on Suggestions for clasp upgrade ? ·

It is exactly like the 1 I have. Sorry for the slow reply. But yes it is of respectable quality. Is it the best thing around? No. But is it good? Yes

commented on Suggestions for clasp upgrade ? ·

It should be fairly easy. This one was $15-20 on Ali Express. It is a nice ratcheting clasp.

Lol. Good to know. Have a look at Redwood. Their lume is very good.
