I also have a second Omega Seamaster which was bought for me by my wife for my 60th birthday. This one is not actually mine but is pretty much exact in every detail. Hopefully this meets with Dr Tinin’s approval.

Hey, if we're doing watches, here's my latest purchase. A Casio G-Shock Frogman, color scheme and model name from the once-thought-to-be-extinct-but since-rediscovered Borneo Rainbow Toad. How could I resist? Watches, like audio, are a hobby to be enjoyed as one sees fit; no need to be judgemental. Then again, for some people, being judgemental seems to be their hobby...

I looked those up. Some were beautiful, some made me think, "how much for that?" All were absolutely more than I'm willing to spend. Fun to window shop, though. I guess I'm am a rung below Dr. Tinnin's "peasants, criminals, rappers and unknowing salarymen" when it comes to chronographs. I am content with my wrist watches.

Don't be sad.
As far as statistical studies show; most of those (Rolex et al) that are not 1: Fake or 2: Stolen are heavily borrowed upon.
I think one of the reasons for Schiit's succes is giving top quality without having to rob a bank or ask nicely for a loan.
Building that quality in super bling variations could be a market for them but would also distract customers from quality pur sang to doubt and ultimately generate a wrong decision, hurting themselves and the companies gross revenue in the end.
Buying a $99 worth $1000 bling-bling Schiit product will in the end slow people down before buying the next product.

Gorgeous timepieces! Although mine is not "pretty" by any standard, it's always with me when climbing, and on more than one occasion, it's GPS trackback has gotten me down in whiteout conditions more than once.

That's a sweet G-Shock. Not sure if you're aware, but an actual frog professor has reviewed the watch: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a...views-the-g-shock-frogman-borneo-rainbow-toad

I also have a couple of G-Shocks in my collection, a yellow "CasiOak" and a Rangeman.

It's funny, I was just looking at a Rangeman yesterday. I store my watches not in direct sunlight, but near a window, so the idea of a solar powered watch that is never going to be out of batteries when I reach for it is enticing. I've also always wanted a watch with a compass. After the date, that's just one of the things that makes most sense to me to have on my wrist with the time.

You should visit your GP, your wrist is not ok.

I like Casio! Got the cheap one without g-shock, but mountain biking still goes fine with it.
For being fancy a Skagen!

Figured I should join in with a photo of my "fancy" watch.

Damn, I knew the government was taking too many changes messing with RNA based vaccines.

Ok, here is one from my vintage Heuer collection.

Question for here or the next Vlog ... is there any plan in the next year to build a Mani-us? I am trying to buy a TT and some of the best cartridges seem to be in the 400 - 1000 ohm range.

I have a feeling expensive watches will make Kings in the ChaosEpoch.

Seems like a good way to get your hand lopped off.

I have had fine conversations in bars where I stated my opinion, in the face of and contrary to my listener. That often makes for good debate or discussion, and even friends.

Bully for you.

if you could find a tech in your area, they could likely replace or add some parallel loading resistors on your existing Mani to customize it. resistors look to be surface-mount SMR 0805 size, so this work could be done using an ESD-safe soldering station with a very fine tip, and without needing a microscope. as an alternative to warranty-voiding modifications, perhaps there are plug-in RCA in-line adapters that could add parallel resistors for loading.
