    MaddMacs Precision Tactical

    I've not heard of the company before. It does have both "precision" and "tactical" in the name, so they have to know something. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    I just traded into this holster, and I think it may be the best I've ever owned. It's made by a company with the unfortunate name FIST. http://www.fist-holsters.com/novoerfide.html This one an IWB/OWB design with pretty standard features. What I didn't realize at first is that it's actually...

    When playing with good friends it's almost an insult if you don't cheat a little.

    Given this skill, I feel cheated that he didn't wrangle any more legislation than he did.

    It's a good time to start. Once you know what you want to buy, you'll find plenty of watches on ebay. Even buying from Japanese sellers you'll have it in less than a week.

    I generally use Flitz to polish the crystal. Jewelers use a diamond paste for expensive watches when originality is important, but in general it's easier to install a new crystal. What type of watch needs help?

    The aluminum bezel is discontinued. This one is anodized gray, but has plenty of patina. I considered restoring it with some Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black, and I still might, but for now I chose to smooth it out with some 400 and 1000 grit to even out the battle worn look.

    Besides the wear, I found 11 years of grime.

    Worked on another one tonight. This is one of my favorites a GW-2500b. These were only made for one year, and while you can still find them on Ebay the prices have been steadily climbing over the last few years. This one has a lot of miles on it.

    It depends on the material and how deep the scratch is. Scuffs can be polished out. With deep scratches it's easier to replace the crystal. In most cases the crystal can be upgraded to sapphire.

    You can rebuild most any watch if you have the tools. G-shocks are relatively easy as long as the spare parts haven't been discontinued.
