the xg3 is visible quite a lot. is that because the position (nearly gripping surface, on a mussle) or what?
has anyone else glassies tat poke out this much?
Not quite but my L0 NExT is near the bone and pokes out like this when I make a fist. Donāt think itās an issue and yeah I guess itās because there is no fatty tissue but muscle below.

My LF IAR has always been quite visible, but itās gotten worse recently:
Also, Iām sure itās moved recently too. It shouldnāt do that, since itās coated, but I swear itās moved forward a few millimeters at least. It was never that close to the knuckle before.
Strangeā¦
i have the same with my l0 implant but the xg3 one pokes out always, not just when i move the hand to a certain position^
Yeah your xG3 hangs out precariously there. Iād be worried to do anything heavy-duty with my hand in the workshop with that thing there.
Must be damn convenient to lift objects though 
Say, is it an impression or do you have small hands? Those glass implants of yours look huge on you
i think i have big hands.
its a xsiid
i will make a photo of my hands next to something for scale. gimme a sec
I dont think mine poke out nearly that much.
This may seem an odd question but given the international audienceā¦
Does anyone know where I can get a plastic Swiss army button 22mm in diameter?
I am missing one from my coat.
Army surplus would be my first place of call, They may stock them, I will check my local one for you, I know they do stock some swiss gear
@CookieMan33 and @kfmroot might be your better ālocalā option thoughā¦
UPDATE
I have sent through a query and added your image as a reference, Iāll let you know the result

Thank you for that. I have tried military surplus stores here, but no luck.
I have found a swedish triple crown button for my swedish jacket at hastur.fi (although it is in gilt, not the green paint of the others). But the swiss button has eluded me so far.
Yes, I have a collection of military jackets and coats that I have picked up from second hand stores.
US Army āIkeā Jacket (1940s)
Swedish Army Jacket (1940s)
US Civil Air Patrol great coat from the 1950s (same as the USAF great coat of the same period)
French army great coat from the 1950s
And this Swiss army great coat (with liner) from I donāt know when.
I got a reply from the warehouse manager, they said to try the individual stores, so I will do that shortly.
I did notice though
They have a Swiss Condor A350 Motorcycle
Not sure if that helps? 
No, but it is cool.
I tried, no luck my end sorry, they suggested ebayā¦
worth a try, hopefully @CookieMan33 and @kfmroot are able to sort you out
eBay and Etsy have been no use so far.
Thank you for trying.

I really would like to help you but I donāt know at the moment where I would be able to find these old buttons. If I find one I will let you know. Maybe your able to 3D print one but I donāt know how realistic the look of it would be.
Sorry if my language isenāt perfekt. Iām only 18 years old and grammar can be pretty difficult some times if itās not your native language.

Your Grammar is perfectly understandable. Thank you for at least responding.
I will probably try casting one and see if that turns out OK. Worst case I can always just replace them all, but Iād rather not if I donāt need to.
The missing button thankfully is only there for looks.
Random note, since I donāt really have anyone else to share with:
I turned 21 about a week ago, and Iāve been rapidly trying different drinks. Wine, beer, hard seltzer, vodka, etc. Iāve been really curious for a while now to see what all I liked. I havenāt liked a single beer Iāve had though, same with wine.
I mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago that The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie, tonight I finally made a White Russian (the Dudeās favorite drink). The Kahlua needed was a bit pricy for a college student, it took me a while to convince myself to buy it.
If youāve never had a White Russian, highly recommended. I love iced coffee, and itās very similar. Iām super sensitive to the taste of alcohol, and itās not bad in this (plus I can tune the amount of cream to my taste).
I bought a little bar set (Boston shaker, strainer, muddler, jigger, and bar spoon), excited to try different cocktails. Itās a little tricky to find recipes that donāt all need a specific liqueur, though. Not really feasible to have a ton of specialized bottles in a dorm. If anyone has any recommendations for drinks to try, Iād love to hear them. Thereās so many that itās hard to narrow down at all.

Dirty martini was my jam for a while
And I mean like really dirtyā¦ like almost an oz of brine
And a bar tender who used to make a group of us the beeeest martinis, you literally only put enough vermouth in, swirl it in the glass and dumpā¦ vermouth is gross you just need a dab
Additionally, if you wanna go full conisouer diva you get a couple different types of stuffed olives
Feta/blue cheese/ garlic were my go tos
Alien brain hemorrhage is a personally favorite random shotā¦ it looks spectacular, has a āuniqueā texture lolā¦ but itās just a dressed up shot of peach schnapps
Ah, 21, the magic age at which Americans give up underage drinking.
Beer is an interesting thing (as is wine) in that the word covers a multitude of different drinks.
Personally I tend to like darker Ales, and things like Trappist beers. But you might prefer lighter ones.
Same goes for Spirits. I personally like the Smoky, Peaty Whiskies like Laphroaig. But you might prefer Gin or Vodka orā¦
You should check your liquor store for miniatures if you are unsure about some spirits. They cost more per ml but you will only be buying a smaller amount.
(Personally I gave up underage drinking between 16 and 18, I gradually cut backā¦)
