Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I’ve got a new mechanical watch arriving soon. It’s a pretty cheap Chinese watch so it won’t be super pretty, but it has all of the stuff I want after getting my first automatic a couple years ago. A chronograph, which I don’t know I’ll use but it will look cool, a transparent back to watch all the mechanics moving, and a (hopefully) legit sapphire crystal face cover instead of the bio-plastic one my current watch has (it’s covered in scratches).

But the real selling point for me is the tritium tubes in each hand and each point on the face. This will give them a soft glow under their own power for ~25 years, letting me tell the time in the dark!
