Can anyone suggest some good Tokyo-based tattoists? Not looking for anything traditional Japanese, more along the lines of:

Bump....make an offer

dddddd

Ask dumbass questions, get dumbass answers.

What crawled up your ass?

I didn't ask for safety advice, I asked for helmet sizing. There happen to be some of us that like old bikes, leathers, helmets and all of the 'unsafe' and obsolete materials, mechanics, tires, etc that go along with them. There's no need for asinine commentary.

Sizing advice? Buy the size that looks best on your shelf and then leave it there and buy a helmet that won't just act as a takeout container for your brain pudding when you stack it doing more than 11mph.

Thanks for the entirely unhelpful commentary, mom. Really.

I am fully aware of motorycle helmet safety standards and the risks of 'vintage' helmets, however, that doesn't mean I want a helmet that doesn't fit, should I choose to wear it jerking off, riding unicycles, or otherwise.

Anyone own a Bell Moto 3? Any advice on sizing?

The prices on E-bay are absurd since they are 'in' right now. I wore one growing up when I rode dirt bikes and wanted one for nostalgia reasons. I wear a 7 1/2 hat+helmet normally and bought a 7 1/2 Bell Moto 3 on e-bay and its HUGE. No way the sizing is standard.....

Couldn't find any previous posts on this and I realize the request sounds slightly silly.....and please, no need for costume site or concentration camp uniform links. You're funny, I get it.

Looks like several Japanese companies make these, but has anyone seen them stateside? Some examples:

Yeah Hofbrau sucks. Go to to augustiner

i can't really recommend the hofbräuhaus. the one time i was there the beer tasted like it was watered down, unlike anything else you could get there in a regular bar

Carharrt ones fit like shit.....wide and too short.

Anyone know of any brands that make a well fitting/durable vest? Preferably simple and grey or black.

Didn't see any threads on this.....

Bought some Kuumba International sticks in Japan. Great stuff. Anyone familiar with any other good brands to check out?

My bike....

Pretty much done. Still need to add clip-ons and powder coat the wheels when I get some more cash.

Seen the hickory stripe at Stronghold as well as these.....

Any other brands that make hickory stripe/engineer/railroad/whatever the hell they call these?

Bump. Make offfffeeerrrrrrr.....

Bump. Open to offers. Make one.

21 oz Extra Heavy Denim. Classic Iron Heart model. These are the 634, not 634-S so they are not selvedge. Purchased in Japan and worn once, never washed or soaked. These were hemmed too short for me so my loss is your gain.

$225 shipped.

Waist = 34"

Inseam = 30.5"

Outseam = 39.5"

I'll be in Tokyo the first week of November if any decent shit is going on....

What did it look like before the work? I'd have a real hard time taking a vintage piece and turning it new again. Did you keep the original dial, hands, etc.?

Fuck that's nice, england. glad you kept (out of choice/out of restrictions?) the bezel. acrylic or sapphire crystal?

always love looking at restored pieces, before & after.

Original Pics:

My dad smashed it 30 years ago in India and the local Omega dealer put the wrong dial back in it for starters.

The current condition of the watch included small crack in the crystal, the lume cracking and falling off the hands, brittle/broken pushers and crown, and several deep scratches on the case back and sides. Hands/DIal/Crystal/Pushers/Crown had to be replaced. No way to keep it 100% original except to buy a duplicate 1965 Speedmaster to scrap parts from.

Just got my Omega back. 65' Speedy.

ABC Watchwerks did a restoration for me. New crystal, pushers, dial, crown, hands. So stoked......

what's the model number for the seiko?

Seiko's a great daily wearer. Nice black on black.

That '65 Omega's gonna look beautiful after restoration. Timeless.

Nice to see you're still around

Thanks. Hopefully getting my Omega back tomorrow. Will take some pics. Its been out for almost 3 months !

Daily beater:

Have one of these being restored right now (1965)

It was more of a comical comparison.

But thanks for the knowledge. NO REALLY. THANKS. I THOUGHT THEY INVENTED PATTERNS.
