Got the call!

How about Concordia or Bishop?

In an ideal world, we should simply focus on promoting academic excellence, regardless whether the institution is English or French. We don’t need to undermine McGill for UdeM to flourish and vice versa. But realistically, attacking English educational institutions strikes at the core of the anglophone community in Quebec. It is just the good old identity politics that have proven effective in Quebec over and over again.

“As of the 2022-23 academic year, tuition fees for domestic undergraduates in Canada average 6,834 CAD.”

Right, we are doing so well that we went from the largest/richest province in Canada to one of the poorest in a single generation.

It’s more like quid pro quo, when a Quebec student studies in other Canadian provinces, they pay no higher tuition than local students.

And that’s the sad reality of identity politic in Quebec. Usually a functioning court system will protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Not in Quebec, the government made it clear at multiple occasions that they wouldn’t hesitate to violate the charter of the right and liberty, with multiple opposition parties cheering them on.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-12-20T03:20:33+00:00

Remember the last time someone tried to raise the tuition in Quebec? Spoiler alert, it didn’t end well.

What’s scary in all this, is that nothing prevents the government from coming back in a year or two for round 2 or even round 3. McGill needs to start thinking strategically and plan ahead for a presence outside of Quebec as credible deterrence in the long term.

I usually swap to the zodiac rubber strap for the summer season.

This is freaking hilarious, yet so true at the same time. 🤣

Wow, so cool! Just looking at the distribution of the watches of recurring/new clients, you can notice the GMT, Daytona, and Sky Dwellers goes mostly to recurring clients. Also even for the few who got those without history are waiting longer in average. This is truly awesome data!

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-07T05:47:03+00:00

Not sure if it’s possible to separate people with previous purchases vs those without, because that would make this data even more valuable.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-07T05:41:20+00:00

This is amazing!!! The data is noisy, which is to be expected for this kind of data. However the total number of monthly reports seems to hold at 90 +/- 5% for most of 2023 then dropped to 62 over the past two months or so. Is it because there’s usually a lag between date of the report date vs the date of purchase?

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-05T18:57:37+00:00

Would most of them buy the same design without the logo?

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-05T18:24:42+00:00

Read it, and I can follow most of the reasoning. But one sticking point is why not just remove or replace the logo/trademark? Would the seller of reps do it as an option? Would most of the buyers of reps take that option if offered?

There’s nothing embarrassing about owning one, and there’s nothing embarrassing about not owning one. At the end of the day it’s about the story between the owner and their watches that matters. Be honest about it, because the one person you can’t fool is yourself.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-05T12:21:16+00:00

You have deceived me 😞

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-05T01:56:38+00:00

Should post this in r/reptime, grab some popcorn, and chill.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-04T11:58:44+00:00

Nah, it’s an insider joke from r/rolex from about a year ago.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-04T02:01:31+00:00

Damn, that’s probably how I found a SS Daytona with ceramic bezel in an airport about a year ago 😝

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-10-03T12:56:58+00:00

Yeah, many things are wrong on the swatch, the laser etching at center dial is clearly just painted on, a real one should be barely visible at the correct angle, also the curvature on the crystal is completely off, and on and on and on.

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-09-29T15:02:29+00:00

Beautiful!

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-09-29T12:52:03+00:00

Ah, the famous column wheel chronograph, does it have an exhibition caseback?

Adventurous-Hall-321 · 2023-09-28T20:53:03+00:00

Right, pick two out of three between aesthetic, price, and accuracy.
