One of these things is not like the others... Speaking of the old days, I recall several occasions when this particular watch was offered up on MD. According to the original listing: https://drop.com/buy/seiko-sna-flight-alarm-chronograph-watch MD claimed to have sold in the neighborhood of 2,300 units. No wonder they quit selling watches, right? Of course, true Seiko fans will recognize this watch as the "Flighter" otherwise know as the: Flight Chronograph Steel Black Dial Men's Watch SNA411. A classic in its own right, the Flighter was and still is, a bargain-priced chronograph and fully functional flight computer, utilizing a bidirectional, slide rule bezel (assuming one still has the eyesight to read the fairly compact dial). Quirky among Seiko offerings, the Flighter includes a domed (Hardlex) crystal, with a screw-down crown and two screw-down pushers (for the three sub dials), meaning Seiko actually specs this watch for 200 meters/660 feet of water resistance! Damn handy incase you misread the dial and inadvertently run out of fuel and are forced to ditch your F/A-18 Super Hornet in the South China Sea! All in all, a pretty impressive package considering the sub $300 price tag (for the watch, not the Hornet). On the down side, the watch is supplied on an infamously crapy stainless steel, deployant bracelet (certainly one of Seiko's worst) and as memory serves, an odd sized lug width (19mm?) that meant one needed to be fairly creative/determined to find a suitable replacement band or strap. Complicating the issue further, the lug holes were drilled especially close to the case requiring (in my situation) the purchase of a pair of curved spring bars to allow a pretty chunky Zulu strap to be fitted. A bit of a struggle, but worth the time and effort to ditch the tacky metal bracelet. It seems any number of leather straps would look nice too, if a more formal look was required. Damn shame MD doesn't sell them any more. I bet if they did, they'd probably move another 2,300 units! Would you buy one?

Ray, every single time I look at watches, I knock myself for not buying the Flight Alarm when Drop had it. I remember being in AP Chemistry looking at it… Contemplating. I wish that I bought it as people are selling them for nearly double the price now.

DankMistaPanda Have you checked lately? Saw some on Amazon today from the high two-hundreds. Considering Seiko’s entry prices these days, that’s not terrible…

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"

I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Drop CSTM - keyboard build guide

Assembly Steps: 1. Remove the 8 case screws with a phillips head screwdriver. (Note: If your keyboard already comes with stabilizers already pre-installed and you do not want to change your switch plate, you can safely skip to step 7.) 2. Remove the structural top case once all the case screws are removed. 3. Take out the keyboard plate and PCBA assembly together and flip them around. Remove the 6 screws connecting the assembly with a phillips head screwdriver. 4. The plate and PCBA assembly should now be separate, allowing you to add the PCBA stabilizers. You will need to make (4) 2u and (1) 6.25u stabilizers for the CSTM80. Please see image below on how to create stabilizer assemblies. (Note: Test the stabilizers and make sure the stems are freely moving up and down to ensure everything is installed correctly.) 5. Ensure IXPE foam is affixed properly on the PCBA with all holes aligned. Install the stabilizer assemblies onto...

Spin the Wheel of Power

You know the story. 3 rings to the Elven-kings. 7 to the Dwarf-lords. 9 to mortal men. And 1 to the Dark Lord. What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize. You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked. How did the journey go for you? Share your spoils below.

Drop rainy75 Shipping to Australia

I have filled out the payment and contact form for the WOBKEY Rainy75 Mechanical Keyboard and typed in my correct address but when click "continue to shipping", it comes up with "Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address." If anyone knows whether it can be shipped to Australia or how to solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions

Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
