Bull sharks can withstand long periods in fresh water and have been know to travel great distances up rivers.

Similar to my town. One side of the road can be residential (prohibited), and the other side rural (fire away!) Read the bylaw to find the boundaries.

It's something newER. In the past it was a rarity. These days its becoming increasingly more common.

Check your local bylaws first. Firearm discharge is prohibited in many areas.

Looks like that; Couldn't gain altitude. Crashed shortly beyond runway. Sad. Condolences to all.

Mine is an aluminum U. I bought the rubber from my local garage door guy, and slid it into my original aluminum U. I had to open up the little grooves in a few spots where they had been squeezed a little too tight from use. I removed the extrusion to do so. Rubber was 2 bucks a foot.

Me, for one. I had my old mantle clock revitalized and I'm delighted with the result every hour, and once every half hour. :)

These are amazing and cheap. Ticks all the boxes, unless you insist on a mechanical movement. I have no problem with ETA quartz. Only catch: not currently available, though the steel version is. I would take this on any underwater mission...

I don't like those internal bezels with their second crowns; an unnecessary point of potential leakage.

I've checked out the Citizens online but haven't seen one in the metal yet. I did try on a Tudor Pelagos at Humbertown. Pretty nice. I hadn't heard about the combustibility. I have no intentions of altering my titanium. I think they are valuable artifacts. A friend has offered to trade me a...

My Dad was hired by the RCAF on two occasions in the early '50s to salvage crashed CF 100s in Lake Nipissing. That was when he was working for Orenda Engines. He brought home many souvenirs. Over time and through moves they all disappeared except a .50 caliber belted bullet that I gave to a...

Not watch related, but I did mention earlier that I have a fondness for titanium. I think it would be great to have a titanium watch. Amongst a few other artifacts, I have a few scraps of titanium left over from the Avro Arrow. My Dad worked on the project. You guys will probably find these...

The new titanium Yachmaster was mentioned earlier here. Here's a video review. Just FYI. The guy is a little obnoxious, but there are some good views of the watch.

That's a pretty solid strap, and something I used in the days when the only wearable computer available was The Edge. It was quite expensive, and regardless, I was not about to risk my life trusting any microchip and/or software. When I got my first computer I immediately removed the strap and...

This thread's been quiet for a while. I'm still trying to figure out the limitations on posted photo sizes, using the trial and error method. Let's see if this one works. Here's a rubber strap that has endured much wear and many deep cold drysuit dives, with the aid of an intermediate extension...

A chainsaw will fix that for ya.

That looks fantastic!

I would never entertain the thought of firing it up without a full service, for the reasons you mention. However, the fact that it runs with one turn of the rotor gives me a lot of confidence that it has a lot of life left in it. I have a couple of old pocket watches squirrelled away as well; a...
