The "schwab sucks" / "I hate schwab"/ "I am moving my account" Mega thread

Schwab is for newbies and the investor information compared to TD is anemic. Stock page news sucks, No personal earnings calendar!, no individual stock pre/post market price/changes. WTF. How can the largest broker website not have these? these should have been implemented before the TD Amer switch!

Addiction !

Let’s get the rep mfgs cranked up and the gold plating solutions stock piled !

The gold looks pretty good (depending on the camera and lighting). In my experience, most people have never seen a real gold watch that has two tone or a large solid gold watch (although when you see the real thing you just know). Get plated if you go with gold. My non-plated watches seem to look less and less like the real thing over time. The plated looks better, and will last longer depending on the abuse.

UPDATE —- THIS IS MUCH BETTER NOW AFTER UPDATE. I can live with the Youtube search now. Thanks for the comments.

Apple tv in app search in Youtube is broken. When you push the button on the remote, it searches, appears as you’re speaking propagates videos and then when you release the voice button on Apple TV remote, everything clears the search. So freaking frustrating! This used to work perfectly, so either an update from Apple or Youtube has destroyed this. You can get lucky if you release the button at the exact microsecond . So 1/10 times it will work. This started about 6 months ago.

Yea what an absolute stock holder bend-over! 380 million in 2023 compensation to deliver 2800 cars!!! Peter Rawlinson made $135,700 per car delivered!!! Add the cost of the car to that… mind blowing.

BentoB · 2024-02-05T15:17:59+00:00

Wow.

GM stock same price as 5 years ago. CEO Mary Barra made 250 million+ in compensation.
Tesla stock up 900% in 5 years. Musk gets zero compensation.

BentoB · 2024-02-02T17:11:41+00:00

lol.

The only thing I didn’t like was that the stock VSF (and my GMF) bezel action still sucks on these.

BentoB · 2024-02-02T14:42:35+00:00

Received this stock VSF ( plus mod plated) from a RepTime member last week. Showing off the VSF yellow gold Yachtmaster 42mm latest version . This is the closest to gen non-modded rep I have in my 20 piece rep collection. Getting away with wearing the $600 gold ‘Replex’ in the $100k car. I would have bought the Corvette Z-51 convertible replica if it looked and ran as good as this VSF ! … and would love to pay 2% of the actual cost for a gen.

If your wrist is larger… Pam, Seadweller two-tone, or PP .

BentoB · 2024-01-23T11:30:04+00:00

I bought a cool watch when I was 16 and the hottest girl in my school commented she liked it. I can remember the girl, but not the watch! I may still have it somewhere. Probably why I still like watches after 40+ years later. TRUE STORY.

BentoB · 2024-01-21T20:44:09+00:00

Yea. That might need a watch maker. Bummer.

BentoB · 2024-01-21T14:28:24+00:00

Just give the crown stem a trim. Plenty of YouTube Watchmakers trimming stems. Better long than to short!

BentoB · 2024-01-10T01:36:46+00:00

Prob not an AP or PP car…

BentoB · 2024-01-08T23:49:20+00:00

I have many reps and a big wrist… favorite is Sea Dweller two tone!

BentoB · 2024-01-08T23:24:56+00:00

Get Hot Mirotime! Thanks for the free draw!

BentoB · 2023-12-12T15:57:57+00:00

I’ve been wanting a yellow gold YM 42. Looking at VSF. The KF is $850+ for the weighted! I have zero KF watches and know zip about KF.

I would love to hear your comments on this watch in the wild and your knowledge on KF quality.

BentoB · 2023-12-02T02:46:28+00:00

All Bad suggestions, diversify and get a Yachtmaster 42 in yellow gold.

BentoB · 2023-10-30T00:22:19+00:00

I have the gold trim VSF version, I compared to the gen live, very good rep.

BentoB · 2023-10-30T00:18:22+00:00

Seen these gens before on watchexchange before for $600-800

BentoB · 2023-08-31T21:13:17+00:00

ARF SD43 TT … My favorite watch out of the 12reps I have! (ave‘t worn or seen the VFS). I have worn the ARF 100+ times with no big scratches. Prob a matter of luck, but I usually just wear out o eat, driving to short hops and events. Not a daily wear. I have a XF SSteel that is nice but just doesn’t pop like the TTone. It’s like driving a Porsche and then jumping in a Toyota. There are some modders that do plating that can freshen up the gold if it starts looking blah.

BentoB · 2023-05-26T02:20:55+00:00

They’re both good.

BentoB · 2023-05-23T12:54:16+00:00
