As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Evening switch to the Speedy. My Nick Mankey strap came in the mail today, so I'm mod compliant. Thanks to [mention]Androidisawesome[/mention] for posting in HUISABH a while back. Strap is very comfortable and I think it looks awesome on the Speedy.

Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
That looks awesome! I thought about doing the same. Is the Mankey strap as awesome as all the people say? Looks rad either way.Stretch44 wrote:Evening switch to the Speedy.

Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
Yes, it is. Honestly one of the most comfortable straps I own. It's like the PJs of watch straps. I highly recommend them. Pic for compliance.

Vintage Vostok Vednesday!
Double compliance with a vintage (late 90’s I think) hand winding Vostok Amphibia. I will probably be a little sad to see this one go, as it wears and runs great. I am pretty sure it is destined to be a gift though. I have an uncle who worked on subs on the tail end of the Cold War who recently became SCUBA certified. I think he might get a kick out of it.
Though, the case is on the small side and he is a really big guy, so this may be comically small on him.

Is it an automatic? Or hand wind only?Sporkboy wrote:Vintage Vostok Vednesday!

Semi compliant with the official unofficial MoT HUISABH watch. I am digging it in bracelet!

A family piece, commonly owned after the War Between the States:
Presumably this qualifies as "vintage".
"OK, Boomer."

Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
Looks great on a bracelet. Even better with a squash!
Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
This is awesome! And most definitely compliant! Really cool piece of not only family history, but just history in general. Thanks for sharing!
Also the blued hands are effing sweet!

Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
This one is hand wind only, a 2409 movement. This makes the package slimmer and is quite nice on the wrist. I may try the movement and caseback in another case and see how it feels. This one I believe is a 410-type caseDub Rubb wrote:Is it an automatic? Or hand wind only?Sporkboy wrote:Vintage Vostok Vednesday!

The other watch that came with this one has a date complication, so a 2419??? Anyway, extremely fun watches to play with for the price I paid and the condition they came in. I think this is my eBay deal of the year.
Re: LWDS (The Legion of Watch Deal Seekers)
That's rad. Does it still have the anti magnetic shield behind the case back? If so, that is a crazy good find! No matter what, that is in great condition. I am guessing early 90's due to the lack of made in markings. Probably during the transitional period 90-92 ish.Sporkboy wrote:This one is hand wind only, a 2409 movement.
