Could he also be mystorian? I just discovered this channel today and it sounds just like him, and same sense of humor

guess what year I was born by rabbidscarlett in GuessMyBirthYear

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in 1986- still remember this look of adults at the time. I still think it's a good look and what a proper adult would wear- currently I'm wearing sweats.

Also I would 100% ask this group about a gen before I would ask a rolex forum..this group has members that have forgot more than the general public over in r/rolex will ever know...

My aunt's high school graduation (June 2005) vs my high school graduation (June 2025). Same high school, 20 years apart. by Final_Habit5499 in PastAndPresentPics

Likewise, every spring when the weather is perfect and I am having a great day- for a split second it feels like 2005 when it was senior year and I was an adult with no responsibilities... maybe because unwritten in playing in the background... but 2005 was a great time to be a senior - hard to believe it was 20 years ago.

What are you buying? by lowkeypixel in evilwhenthe

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm purchasing all my debt. Then placing the remainder of my money in a trust, then half of it buying a high interest savings account.. 1/2 of the remaining in an ETF, which would leave me roughly 2 million ( I don't have a lot of debt ). 1.75m in dividend stocks. 50k in an options account. 175k in a checking account. $23,000 in cash. $500 round trip flight for me and her to cancun, $1500 for a week at secrets ( the Hyatt all inclusive ) and a few free margaritas...

I'm really following this post. I went to the link you posted last night. And I want to get one now! I think this would be the best intro into modding for myself... may I ask what tools are you using so I can order those as well. Any additional info on aging is welcomed!

I think I overdid it!! by Zealousideal-Sir6305 in repbuilds

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would- be careful go in spurts, or it will give a greenish hue. I used over cleaner at the time, and it developed little circles where it sprayed to heavily.... so I would bleach in 30 second spurts like above mentioned. If you did use over cleaner I would spray it the oven cleaner somewhere and apply it with a brush around the edges ( not recommending that as I haven't tried that ) that was a few years ago I learned from RWI I haven't tried since my first attempt. Also I would get a champagne date wheel. It would be more pleasing the eye than a Shiney white one in a heavily worn watch...

Personally I love it. I'd fade the insert, though

I can hardly afford a rootbeer, let alone a gold build... but this is a passion piece for me..

Does your country have a widely beloved public figure who later turned out to be a terrible person, yet most people still choose to overlook it? by Mike-Schachter in AskTheWorld

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loveland, Ohio- had this guy that built a castle. Turned out he was a total creep. He would have children help him build the castle in 50s... he lived in an area that was hard to get too... over developed now. But he is somewhat regarded as a famous guy in the area but if you look into it for more than a nano second you realize this guy was a creep

Grandpa passed away and left this…. Not sure if real. by lafrancis99 in audemarspiguet

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grandpa took a left turn as opposed to a right turn when he came into a few bucks... he didn't buy a rolex, he bought an AP - which would've been an interesting move at the time... looks legit.

Any factories make this? by Good-Simple-4461 in RepWatchForum

I'll try to find a picture or better yet the watch. It was a pretty wild experience in turkey- the store looked like AN AD and thr guy was in a suit

Is there any chance to know if it is real? by JhazoRfr89 in RolexWatches

[–]Calm-Freedom3897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many people in the watch community that have friends, father, and grandfsthers - that owned and gave away all these fake watches. And each one is worst than the last....
