What time is it? Watches and horology

He couldn't have had his extensive collection of of hammers back then.

Looks good though.

The whole Seiko modding thing is it's own cult with some deep rabbit holes. It makes Scoble's constant 650b/25psi/grand bois dronings-on look sane by comparison.

I re-read the Randonneur thread last week.

It actually made my stomach ache from laughing.

For those of you playing along at home - it starts at post #81

Of course we'll never see those numbers

Don't bring that ANYWHERE near your mechanical watches! You'll fry them. Keep that monstrosity in another room, like the cellar, to be safe!

Are you Chuck from Better Call Saul?

ChuckBreaker?

Ha! I know it, normally with my watches I'm paranoid about going near magnetic sources, wearing that thing I'm paranoid about going near watches.....

Fucking hell, this kills me every time.

Lest we forget... Beware the Scoble!

TS, was it you who did the potted history of scoble? From true tarck geometry, to 'how do tyres work', to touring geometry 650b, to 'let me tell you how tyres work'?

But worded better than that.

This picture makes me weep tears of utter joy.

No, but I wish I had... I designed the never released range of Scoblese t-shirts...

Let's see 'em then...

Looking for them now... I'm warning you now, they're shit...

This isn't one of them but made me giggle anyway, can't remember what this was all about...

Wasn't there an 'oh digger, that wasn't a proper skid' t shirt mooted at one point?

My personal fave, the Silly Cucumber shirt...

Anyway, enough of this derailing!

Incredible. Would that we could revive the i bin scobled thread. :(

Worth watching?
