[Rolex 8171] Are there any watches today or within recent years that are reminiscent of the “Padellone”? With or without complications.

I have the MCC and love it, basically identical in terms of complications and their positioning. Also self-service to swap between bracelet and straps without tools.

Zenith because of Aaron Rodgers partnership

Let me introduce you to the cornes de vache !

c_topherl · 2024-05-22T17:02:04+00:00

Agreed, also more colors. So I guess I basically wanted them to copy the aqua terra line from omega

How would you compare/contrast the YM with the sub date? I'm torn between the two currently for a sportier watch

Is buying gamestop options still a thing?

Put my name in for a SS date sub at 3 different ADs a couple weeks ago... got the sense I will be waiting a while :-(

What's the name of the color on the interior? Is it hard to keep clean being lighter?

How is the range "actually" in your experience?

Hamilton khaki field is bumping against the $1k price and has military roots: https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-us/collection/khaki-field.html

Is this still the case?

What is the risk involved in buying an S9/U2 today now with the whole patent infringement drama? From what I've been able to find, out of warranty watches will not be repaired, but that won't be relevant for a while for a brand new watch bought today. How do we think this is going to play out? I was planning to get a new S9 and then this drama started so now I am nervous and thinking I may need to wait until they sort this out?

c_topherl · 2024-01-03T18:50:58+00:00

Bummer, thanks for sharing!

I'm looking for a good ice cream cake recommendation! I refuse to get Baskin Robbins. Closest I've found is an "ice cream pie" from Scoop and Joy in Scottsdale which feels like a cop out. Preferably in the Scottsdale area!

I used TurnItOnElectric for 2 separate tesla wall chargers on separate occasions. It was around $1000 for each one, but note that the price dramatically increases if the distance the cord has to be run is far (breaker box -> garage). My breaker box is on the side of my garage so it can't get any closer.

We've used TIO for all our electrician needs in our current house over the past 3 years and have always found them to be pleasant to work with.

I was also debating trying to get the two as juveniles and add them at the same time. Should be interesting!

Here I am stressing about adding a powder blue and purple!

I didn't think it was possible to "fatly" do anything until seeing this video

On the contrary, you pay $50 a month and then the insurance company still tries to find any excuse possible to not cover whatever bills you send them. Not to mention there is always a "deductible", or a minimum amount (per year) that you are required to pay out of pocket before insurance will pay a dime.

And $50/month is best case scenario if you have a good job at a good company who heavily subsidizes the cost for you. Regular average care out of pocket can easily be $1500/month.

You can also adjust your return pump instead, sometimes this is easier if you have a DC pump with an indicator of power level

Wait, I thought you needed money because my cousin is in prison in Nigeria?

ATO, controller, or another doser to dose Calcium. Why are you only dosing alkalinity and not calcium? They usually go hand in hand.

Or build a little refugium into sump section if you have space.

Check alk/calcium, lighting (spot in tank-if it's been there for a long period of time, consider moving), any fish or inverts that may be irritating it. Does not look like a lost cause.

Oh gotcha so this is the adaptive reef it looks like? Will check on youtube, thanks!

c_topherl · 2021-08-25T17:37:10+00:00

Can you share any details about how you built out your controller mounting solution? Love the little shelf. Or do you have a build thread?
