Does anyone use their own stopwatch?

[Platapus]

I do and I find it helps with the roleplaying aspect.

You can find digital stopwatches for a few bucks but I really wanted a manual stopwatch. I was able to find one for about $40.00 and it truly adds to my enjoyment.

Yeah I am strange

[Telgriff]

I am tempted to get one after I realised I am now using my stopwatch on the attack periscope to determine closing distance when I am on a path to intercept before I attack...

$AU620 inc shipping to get it here.......dont tempt me.

[wireman]

yup

[Foghladh_mhara]

If my missus sees me sitting in front of the pc with a stopwatch timing a computer generated ship she will leave me. I'm tempted to get a white cap as well as the stopwatch :D

Hmmm.. Stopwatch... :hmm:

Lets see.. I'm already running a red light over my computer desk, a small fan for ventillation, Noise cancellation headphones for my hydrophone sweeps and my son comes in with a mug and says "Coffee, Herr Kaleun?" I think my wife would kill me if she saw a watch hanging there... :rotfl:

That is a nice watch on ebay though... :yep:

[fair_weather]

Fans going (two, one pointing away from me and sounds like a diesel engine and one for the usual fan)...check

Red nightvision lighting...not yet...soon...

Stop watch...I have an old watch...not sure if it has a stopwatch function though...I'll have to check when I get home.

And I'm learning german...so...ya...I think I like these games...just a bit. :lol:

[Hitman]

I'm using this:http://www.belmog.com/herw4.html

I use a stopwatch...also really good when navigating submerged..:yep::up:

[Canovaro]

I use the stopwatch function on my wrist watch for counting RPM on the hydrophone.

You don't have the white hat YET?

<shaking head> (snicker)

I decided to grow a beard just because I was playing SH3!

<no I can't back that up>

I do wish there was a way I could have the lights in my office dim to red when the game is red. that would be cool

[FIREWALL]

At any swap meet $10.00 non-battery pocket stopwatch in brass finish
with chain. NEW!!!

After reading through this thread, I don't feel so odd about running 30 feet of speaker wire into my Kitchen so I can listen to the game while doing dishes or cooking. :D

which btw doesn't work out so well if you run into the RAF.

[bert8for3]

This whole thread has me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: !

I don't think it's idiotic at all, whether the stopwatch, the white hat or whatever. Not a bit. I've been thinking myself that a real stopwatch would be good to have. And I'm getting used to blank stares from family members as I darken the room for better night vision and scribble notes on a pad to keep track of target speed/bearing/course etc etc.

Try wireless headphones man! I know they did not exist in 1945 but nor did computers :lol:

You can buy cheaply RED bulbs for almost any lamp. I'm currently building a custom one for my desktop that has two bulbs one red and one blue, and a switch that allows me to either turn one or the other on :rock:

[Platapus]

Thats a lot of money for a reproduction. Besides imagine the humiliation of wearing a "new" captian's cap. Every one, but every one knows that Kool Kaleuns wear broken in caps at a "don't give a crap" angle

You would have to spend some time getting it properly broken in and filthy

and just when you got it perfect, your wife or Girlfriend would either wash it or throw it away!!!!!!

With my tongue firmly in my cheek I'd like to draw everyones attention to this thread

My beard is 6 weeks and getting bigger and better. I tell myself in my more lucid moments that its not because of the game. But I know it is;)

[robbo180265]

:roll: I had my beard before the game - honest:roll:

>>Does anyone use their own stopwatch?

Yup. Digital, but hey. It's handy. Keep it right on the desk next to the mouse :roll:

[Raus]

Get a red light! Make sure to have two lamps, one red one white so you can switch! And if you really want, get a blue one too like Das Boot.

[Spin Doctor]

I use the same analog stopwatch that I used when I was in the US Navy. It was used to measure circiut breaker trip times.

Actually, I thought all you guys had one... I can't even start the game till I find mine. Makes me feel naked without it. (No funny comments...)

Digital? Come on man! I still have a turntable and about 2000 records!

suggestion: red candle? saves elektricity too... :up:
