    Canadians don't hide weed.

    Actually I don't use.

    Watch is a Citizen Skyhawk. Here are some of the specs:



    Probably my favorite feature, due in part to being an engineer, is the rotating bezel slide rule.

    mine:



    its a seiko auto kinetic, so it has no batteries to change. it has a ball that rolls around on the inside and generates that power to charge the internal bettery. ive had it since my 16th birthday, so over 10 years now.

    it was a $350 watch when i bought it, so it's not a cheap fossil or anything.

    That is one of the busiest pieces of jewelry I have ever seen. Holy cow.

    I keep it simple with $10 Japanese watches. They're indestructible and only watch nerds know I'm wearing a piece of junk.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I find watches uncomfortable, and I tend to scuff them up pretty good when I where them. I still pull out my phone to check the time even while wearing one lulz. That's a nice watch though mech, information galore.

    I've always bought cheap watches because...I get into stuff and sometimes I'm wearing good clothes, etc and don't realize I'm about to destroy my watch etc.

    Fiancee got me a present for my birthday... a Movado Series 800. Nice watch..now I'm paranoid. Gotta wear it to work..and always take it off the second I walk in the door.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    My watch makes phone calls and browses the internet.

    No offense but you might be better off just getting a new one for ~$100

    And keeping that one for rougher wear.
