Oddly, looking into an Oryx hunt in NM is what ended up pushing me to Africa. The Oryx tag, which is a draw, plus the drive and lodging, plus the uncertainty being in a new place chasing a new animal on my own, I figured it was cheaper or equivalent to go to Africa and I'd get to chase several...

@Wishfulthinker580 the Phoibos Wave Master came early. Very impressed with it for the price point. The quick adjust isn't as slick as Rolex's glidelock and only has 4 positions but it's certainly better than nothing. The 4 positions are about equal to one link and I fall right on the border of...

because my cell phone doesn't work underwater and requires charging/electricity

by the way, check my furs

I don't care that it was ran down with a snowmobile, or a 4 wheeler, or if it was in a contest or whatever. I don't agree with him playing with it like he did. He should have pinned it and killed it immediately (gun, club, hammer, knife, sharpened stick, don't care.) He vary well may have...

Where did I say add on an extra side of wanton suffering? Death is a messy business, lots of ways to get there. I've shot a lot of things and I've ran a few things over with my car, not sure which one you could call more humane or effective. Probably comes down to the end user and application.

Perhaps they should have taken their own advice. Predator control isn't "hunting" in the same sense as deer or rabbits or whatever. There is no season, there is no bag limit, there is no legal hours, there is no method of take requirements (night vision, thermals, spotlights, aircraft, all...

Forgot to mention screw bracelet too rather than pins. It really seems to poopoo the Seiko with mineral crystal, whatever the bezel material is, plus click bezel rather than friction, milled clasp that's adjustable, crown etc

Thanks a lot ha, I pre-ordered one of the Phoibos Wave Master GMTs. Supposed to be saving! I wish I knew about these before I bought my Seiko SSK (same movement). Seems to pack a ton of features for $299 with the rebate. It actually checks a lot of boxes I had been looking for. On the fly...

For reference this is a Sandoz womens/boys diver (lower end 80s Swiss brand with ETA movt) I wore for 3 or 4 years when I was a welder/fabricator. The screw down crown is stripped but it still runs. Very harsh environment for just about anything.

I work in automation so basically anything electromechanical/hydraulic you can think of. They're tool watches, use them.

Yeah something to the tune of 10 to 1 or better. There's a lot of nuance to it, and if you have an eye for it they're generally easy spots. I never try to pass reps off as gens. 99% of people couldn't care less what you're wearing and if someone says something I just tell them if it's a rep...

fakes..."replicas" kind of a misnomer as they're not perfect, but generally better quality than what you'd find on say Canal Street or in Tijuana. Usually about 90% correct.

I've got this but wear reps or lower end stuff about 80% of the time. Depends on my mood or the situation. Can't seem to find a piece that has every thing I want in one package.
