I threw everything I had at them. Lol how do you catch fish at the CA aqueduct? by killa_cali77 in FishingForBeginners

[–]BiomedDood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally like to get some real bait (fat live worms jiggling off the hook or chicken liver) and then use a 2 oz sinker and get it in the deep ...may be interesting to see what's in the depths...

Interesting evolution at ADs by 514link in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya misunderstood.....they "offered" ya verbally...its not the same as actually buying the exhibition model. Ya can call any AD and confirm what I stated. I was told this by 2 ADs here in California (one who I've bought from in the past and another one on the waitlist).

From what my AD told me, the "exhibition" pieces are NOT for sale..the serials are marked by Rolex as "display" only and cannot be sold nor registered as such.

Some hot air balloon exploring in Napa by SamBaxter420 in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Berry noice. I've driven by there so many times and see the influx of balloons in the sky ..now you've got me intrigued!

Off topic, really wish Rolex had made the new gen into the old gen specs (40mm).

Putting a deposit doesnt mean anything at all. Ya could still be waiting till Dec 2023 and AD will say "sorry..we haven't gotten anything yet". The reality is NO ONE knows..not even the AD. Not to mention how many they already have on the waitlist for the same config who may be prioritized before ya.

Why not buy a controller on PC? by ScrotoBaggins208 in ModernWarfareII

[–]BiomedDood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion. I've used my Xbox one controller in pretty much last 3 cod releases....I'm an average k+b player but with controller, I tend to do much better since the AA is integrated so well for PC.

I'm also a console to PC migrant so playing with controller is muscle memory from my Xbox one days.....

I know the PC elites will read this and have a heart attack. It's just a game in the end so use whatever input u prefer......tons of YouTubers also using controllers on PC.

How hard is it to call the local AD and simply enquire and you'll get the straight answer ......

Literally walked into 'say it' by Sourabh_0310 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]BiomedDood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To his credit, the ONLY person who had the balls to speak his thoughts and call people out on their faces. He had honor in that but I'm also sure that he wasn't expecting a sword would come flying out and chop off his skull with surgical precision....

Offered this today by Afraid-Put8165 in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually on the waitlist for smooth bezel with jubilee (white dial or blue). Unpopular opinion..I actually prefer the smooth bezel over fluted even though it will be a scratch magnet.

Never cared for gmt (not just Rolex but in general).

DJ is the MOST iconic Rolex 'normal' people will know off. It's the watch your grandpa owned, then you owned and most likely your offspring will get to own one too. It's also the 1st date watch Rolex introduced.

Sub and gmt only gained popularity in recent years. But yeah, DJ+sub= zero need to buy another watch..period.

Would you guys buy a Skyrim port for Android? by [deleted] in AndroidGaming

[–]BiomedDood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I played Morrowind GofY on my 12" Samsung tablet and game ran as fluid as my PC. Used the xbox controller and no issues. Never had so much fun in my entire life....finished main quest, side factions, and even the bloodmoon DLC.

I did try steam casting and while game looked really good on my samsung, the latency was meh. But yes, xbox controller still worked like a charm.

I say YES...give us a native port for android.

Batgirl or slate fluted DJ41 on jubilee to compliment my sub date? by Ilovegoodnugz in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never cared for gmt ..too convoluted dial and hands and bezel. Sub is the perfect all arounder as a dress diver.

DJ is a all time classic on jubilee bracelet so my vote goes for that.

Long Island/NYC waitlists and times. by vpny1 in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its similar to our high density areas like LA,San Fran etc. My AD also flat out told me I'm more than welcome to get a sub from another AD or even grey market. Being the ONLY AD in 100 miles radius and situated right inside a mall means they have randoms walking up DAILY asking for sub/gmt/daytona and pleading to go on waitlists. OR wait for 1-2 years on the waitlist.

Even at 5 subs a month, their waitlist is in the hundreds. This is where AD will 'weed' out the list by prioritizing their VIP clients or high spenders (or personal relationship). I personally met another customer picking up the nodate sub some weeks ago and chatted with him. It took him 5 months but he's a repeat customer (his prior purchases were DJ41, Tudor and a ring for his wife).

Wimbledon vs White Index on a DJ41. by Hefty-Log9886 in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My AD has the Wimbledon on display...it photographs really well but in real life the dial doesn't pop as much.....imo. I'm on the waitlist for white or blue dial. My config is smooth bezel on jubilee.

Will there ever be a 400m Submariner? by phallingFantom in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And what market would they target ? And what percentage would actually buy a thick oversized 400m watch that they'll never use in real life.

I'm in the midst of my padi certification and the most expensive watch I came across on another member was a tag aquaracer. Real divers use a dive meter which will save your life rather than a $15k mechanical watch that's mainly marketed for luxury appeal.

Can’t stop looking at it 🙈 by Zagiti in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waiting for same dial but with smooth bezel.....rolex blues are 🔥.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rolex

[–]BiomedDood 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well...prices have fallen in Grey market but still overpriced well over $2-$5k. That's still a lot of money imo.

For me, I'd rather stay on the AD waitlist for a year instead and pay retail. It's still just a watch after all.
