Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I've gotten mine all first try with soapy water with my Kinlin XC 279. Just use a lot of soapy water, and those first two pumps or so should be kinda quick. I'm using a Joe Blow Sport pump, so nothing special.

Nice.

Reminds me of something my dad used to say;

"A man with a watch knows what time it is."

"A man with two watches, is never sure"

I love me some g shocks!
I'm totally into squares and LCD ones. The analog half-breeds, not so much.

no, not at all. I don't really understand the appeal of digital watches (unless it's a casio f-91w!).

everyone always has to bring that up, huh?

I don't actually own a watch so I can't really contribute much to the discussion. but sometimes I oggle at them in galleries.

I just got into them. I favor field/aviator look more and I have other watches from Citizen, Seiko, Orient and even some cheapo Timex. But there's something about something so rugged.

I kinda feel the opposite.

Mine aren't all digital!!! Hell, one is analog just in a big ass case.

Classic, but I couldn't go back to all digital.

It's funny that an alarm function can go so far.

No worries, I'm not offended and I have one in my collection. #edc

Yup, as expected. Pretty much the 2 biggest fringe groups on g shock forums.

I like squares more because I grew up around them and I always envied my father's OG dw-5000 which has since been passed down to me.

I tend to prefer minimal/sleeker aesthetics, so g shocks don't do anything for me either. totally understand.

check out the seiko 5, i got one a few years ago for ~ $50 and its the perfect budget (analog) watch.
automatic, accurate, color options, goes with anything, day/date window

ive had one on my wish list for 4 years after seeing one in a shop, the thing is light as a feather and i think it looks badass

i just wish they would let you pick a not inverted display for every style

Out of the watches I have, I think my Weekender gets the most use. I have a thing for grey watches so I went with a grey dial with a grey rubber strap from Bonetto Cinturini.

Not a huge fan of all digital, but they make some of the better looking digital watches imo.

I can't tell the time on one of those.

For what they cost, you think they could afford to put numbers on them.
