As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: WRUW
Getting ready for a hearing this morning in San Jose. Since I'm up here I'm going to try and hit up the Omega AD and try on some watches. Hopefully I restrain myself...
Re: WRUW
Tried on a few Omegas. This was by far my favorite, love the size and broad arrow hands. Maybe someday...

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Re: WRUW
My Ice watches arrived today. The green 36mm might just be too small on me. And its lug with measures 17mm, defying my limited strap options. It might become a gift for my niece (I already have a Timex for her brother).
UPDATE: The orange watch battery seems to be dead -- the 1.55 battery is reading only 0.80 volts. This despite the crown having been pulled. But I can now report it has a Miyota 2115 movement.
The orange 38mm has a 20mm lug width. Its molded rubber strap has a nice feel but its contour doesn't fit me. Here it is on a stop-gap nato. It cracks me up. The case is more fluorescent than the photo shows.
Update: The 36mm can take an 18mm nato. Here it is on my 6.75" wrist (tho the camera makes it look bigger). Nice touch: the hands were set to 10:10 out of the box.

Sometimes the strap makes the watch...great looking combo.BostonCharlie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 4:12 pm Update: The 36mm can take an 18mm nato. Here it is on my 6.75" wrist (tho the camera makes it look bigger). Nice touch: the hands were set to 10:10 out of the box.

Re: WRUW
Just arrived. Very happy at $256.
Good A/R on the crystal, blazing tritium indices, 120 click ceramic bezel, nicely knurled and engraved crown, chunky 22mm bracelet.....tall but VERY wearable.

Re: WRUW
I guess I could take 5 secs and wipe the dust off the crystal.
Re: WRUW
Since the Minuteman A11 came in yesterday, thought I'd wear it today.
Didn't care for the OEM stap, so tried it on the Froskemann elastic.
MUCH better.
