    What watch you're wearing?

    Okay, keeping with my recent "Bezel Swap" theme, here is the SKZ325 half of my SKZ323-325 Bezel Swap. Right click and Open Image in New Tab for full resolution These black dial / silver bezel swaps are not as dramatic as the white dial / black bezel swaps but I still like them better than the...

    Wow, you don’t see folks use the word limerance much, well done! If you love the way it glows in the dark, would that be lumerance?? 😁

    18650 advice

    If your charger offers the feature, you might try doing a full discharge and re-charge a couple of times. I read the batteries develop ‘micro-shorts’ internally if left discharged for a long while, but some times they can recover with “therapy”. 🤓

    A photography thread

    You say your current lens is 18mm at the widest, I’m not sure you will get a lot more coverage out of a 17mm lens. And certainly not the 30mm lens. And I’m afraid most of the very wide lens are going to distort (although there are wide angle lens designed to minimize the effects). Maybe you can...

    What watch you're wearing?

    Similar to my custom white Samurai, today I am wearing a white Seiko Stargate SKZ323, with the black bezel off a SKZ329. I think it looks so much better this way. Right click and "Open Image in New Tab" until you get the "+" magnifying glass to see full resolution. At least Seiko figured out...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    I have a Malkoff flashlight next to the stove that I use a dozen times a day to look into the oven (oven lights suck) and to see what is in the food cabinets in the back. :D

    What watch you're wearing?

    I took off my Seiko SARX055 for the first time in years and strapped on an old favorite. It is a custom Seiko Samurai SNM009 with the black bezel off an SNM011 and the black hands off a Ti Samurai SBDA005. I love the texture on the SNM... watch dials, but I don’t like the thinner, original...

    What watch you're wearing?

    I had a ‘thing’ for the Casio “Twin Graph” for about a decade or two, and funny story I did not know you had to “zap” a contact on the movement when you changed the battery, so when the battery ran down on one, I would just end up buying another one! Doh!! 😁 I still have one in my collection...

    New 18650/LED Product Idea? The Little Black Desk "Flashlight"!

    I was looking on Amazon again today, and the available lights are not really what I am looking for. They don’t seem very bright, they almost all use an array of (crappy?) LEDs, don’t have replaceable batteries with good capacity and don’t offer adjustable brightness. They also look pretty poorly...

    I was cleaning out my basement and found this in a box

    What about making binoculars with a built-in/addon light?

    Okay! I like the discussion. 😇 Makes me want to epoxy a piece of Picatinny rail to my ol’ Pentax 10x glasses. Uh, off axis of course!! 🤪 I’ll take a picture!

    What watch you're wearing?

    Randall Benson (Dr. Seiko - Rest In Peace) was able to source a sapphire crystal for mine as well. Sounds like a plan? 🤣

    What watch you're wearing?

    Hey iacchus looks like a Seiko fan! 😁 We may have crossed trails in the past, when I usually went by “Motowatch. 👍 I used a Sinn 656 style second hand from Yobokies on my modded Super Spork, I mean if we are copying the Sinn we might as well do a good job. 🤣

    What watch you're wearing?

    I recommend keeping track of the original boxes and tags, develop a way to quickly reference their connection to the watch so you can re-unite them efficiently. I was pretty casual, and then had to move suddenly when my landlord sold the house. I had to just put the boxes and such into bags and...

    What watch you're wearing?

    I have a very large collection of Seiko and Citizen watches and I used to wear a different watch out of the collection every day, which was perfect for the watch forums “WRUW?” (what are you wearing today?) threads. 😁 But then about 8 years ago I purchased a Seiko SARX055 and put it on after...

    What about making binoculars with a built-in/addon light?

    Seems like having a nice ‘throw’ LED/LEP light built into your binoculars might be a good idea? What good is a lot of light on a distant subject if it’s too far away to really see, especially if you are old. 😝 Like what good is a lot of magnification if it too dark to see? 😉 I wonder if you...

    So Malkoff has 1x21700 bodies now. Waiting on 2x21700

    Yes, I am watching you! 🔭

    So Malkoff has 1x21700 bodies now. Waiting on 2x21700

    I asked Gene about 2 x 21700 bodies, and I believe they are not a high priority. :-(

    New 18650/LED Product Idea? The Little Black Desk "Flashlight"!

    . I sorry, but I don't see what I am asking for. Lots of 20 inch tall lamps, lots of complicated goofy-looking lamps, and most of the hits that looked close turned out not to be battery-powered, and certainly not by a nice 18650 or two! :) I can interest anyone in making something like...

    New 18650/LED Product Idea? The Little Black Desk "Flashlight"!

    Hi jeowf, Uh, so you can move it without worrying about a cord? The advantage seems obvious to me, so it's hard to explain if you can't see it. I have a lamp on a table by the side of my bed, but as it is corded I can't move it without the cord dragging across the table knocking everything...
