Damn it--now you've got me listening to all of mine! Bet you'll get more than a few offers for it here...

Are you able to remove the back cover? Seems to me that a drop of good watch oil on the rotor bearing may solve your problem. It's worth a try. I have an airman and it's a great watch.

Deep Blue Chrono - I really underestimated the size of this thing and should not have been Scotch and internet shopping. It feels like it weighs 5 pounds and would be a perfectly acceptable device to pound 10-penny nails.

WiClHiYup, the do make some big'ns! Can admit to a few less than sober internet shopping trips myself--although I prefer Canadian Whisky to Scotch; helps me make more informed purchase decisions ;- )

I don't really feel true regret with any watch I own now or have owned. Even with watches I later sold, I had reason to buy it, and I enjoyed it for a while, then had a reason to later sell. The closest I come to a regret I think is this. It is a pocket watch conversion, and the redial is simply fictitious. It was never a Soviet air force model as it pretends to be. Lots of old watches were created and sold by Ukrainian ebay sellers over the years in order to get as much money as they could for what would otherwise be a less than ordinary watch.

But that all said, it definitely looked cool and I enjoyed it for a short time. Then I gave it away as a contest prize online.

BF_HammerInteresting piece and story; very crafty of those sneaky Ukrainians too! Hope it went to a good home ;- )

It is a tie between my tense Hudson wood watch or orient symphony II. Not because either are bad watches, it is just that I never wear them anymore when I have better choices. So they are basically wasted money. Thankfully, relatively speaking, they were inexpensive. So maybe they served the purpose of introducing me into buying watches and a stepping stone to automatic watches. Before the tense watch I never owned or wore a watch since I was a teenager over 20 years ago.

lassetjusPerhaps it will do the same thing for another--one day in the future? There is certainly no faulting it it's appearance!

Citizen Signature...an Octavia IIRC. Eco Drive, perpetual calendar...but HUGE and HEAVY. Even after ditching the bracelet, the watch head alone was HEFTY. Just too big for my wrist, too. And it turned out to have the worst accuracy, IIRC, of any of my Citizens.

Bulova kirkwood 64a105 rose gold selita sw200 skeleton really nice watch never wore it my old eyes can’t see the hands at a glance so once a month I wind it up and watch the mainspring tightened up and look at it again a month later

ED61Beautiful watch, the Kirkwood, but I'm with you--very hard to read. You've reminded me of a short lived relationship I had years back with an Invicta Yacht Master homage (blatant, bloody knock-off, actually), anyway the contrast between the dial, hands and indices couldn't possibly have been less. Even 15 years I couldn't read the damn thing. Fortunately, it was returnable!

What has happened to MassDrop?

I have been gone about two years and return to find a completely a different shopping experience. Even though Spring is upon us...I can count ALL the outdoor items on less than my 10 fingers. Is this the norm now from Drop? Thanks

X-mid 1p tent available for France

Hello, my question is very simple: when will the Dan Durston X-mid 1p tent be available for France? I know this must have already been discussed and I know I can order it via Amazon.com but it is not the easiest (and cheapest) way to get it. Please, make it available! Don't let me beg you! ;-) Hope to hear from you soon with good news. Pierre

I bought a Glycine GL0187 and got it about a week ago.

The dial in the picture of the Glycine GL0187 on drop.com is black. The dial on the one i received looks 2/3 faded greyish and the bottom more black. I know it's not, but the dial has the water damaged look. It's not nice and pretty anoying. Any comments?

Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...

I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..

Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.

And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...
