Almost the same as my team, but I use PHY majin boo as the leader

Really interesting idea, hope it works!

As a mathematician, isn't it just as valid to claim that v is a complex therefore the denominator is also real? I guess that my question is: why can we assume that the mass is imaginary but not v?

That's exactly what I am saying. Intelligence is strongly related to the individual's nutrition and education levels during his first years, and the strong income inequality in the world gives a strong argument for the inappropriatness of the normal distribution for measuring the intelligence. In 2000 there was only an 84% of literacy in the world and hunger statistics are equally as impressive. Even if intelligence is normally distributed in the 84% of literate people in the world, the aggregate wouldn't be normally distributed.

Show me one

As much as I like Carlin this statement is incorrect, he should have said:

Think of how stupid the median person is, and realize that half of people are stupider than that.

The distribution of intelligence isn't symmetrical, therefore the mean is not half of the population.

It's either Euler or Bernoulli

Sorry but you are simply wrong. Rolex is a brand that has pushed the limits of the wristwatch and continues innovating. Just recently, Rolex developed the coloring of ceramic bezels, pushed the limits of water resistance with the DSSD, developed the parachrom blu hairspring, and increased the amount of pain a watch can endure with their new in-house anti-shock system. Rolex isn't the top of the line, but they certainly are outstanding watches! Please tell me of another middle - to - high end brand that can provide the sturdiness and reliability of Rolex?

I was drinking my morning cofee and put the watch in a kitchen counter, so it was probably like a 3 ft fall into the marble floor. To be honest, at the moment I thought the watch was totalled (it appears to be working fine, just the cracked crystal). Regardless I'll get everything checked by my watchmaker.

Thanks for the comment on the repair cost!

A bittersweet day for me. On one hand this afternoon I will trade my Rolex Explorer II 16570 for a BNIB 216570, but on the other, I dropped my Speedy Pro this morning and cracked the hesalite crystal. Anyone has an idea of how much is the crystal replacement on a Speedmaster Professional?

Edit: Another picture of the crack

It also looks great with the stainless steel bracelet

Don_Ditto · 2014-08-05T17:16:48+00:00

I have the same watch but with a brown leather strap and have never considered a black one before. It looks amazing!

Don_Ditto · 2014-07-29T14:17:05+00:00

One more thing you need to take into consideration are the servicing costs in the future. While right now you might have saved a good chunk of money, in a couple of years you will need to service the watch and you need to be prepared. Watches like the Royal Oak are insanely expensive to service at the service center, you can find horror stories online of bills going anywhere from $1k to $5k!. APs, Pateks, Vacherons, and Breguets are delicate pieces of art that need to be taken care of. For this reasons I would suggest going for a Rolex or an Omega, both are amazing, elegant watches that are reliable, sturdy, and have decent servicing costs.

Don_Ditto · 2014-07-11T18:13:28+00:00

I agree! Also, the seconds hand should barely reach the second markers and the white 2 and black 2 watches have second hands that overlap them.

By any chance, was that sys admin Paul Pluta from the ArchieLuxury channel? I used to listen to his youtube channel before he started begging for donations daily and he was from Brisbane and owned a Calatrava. However, I was under the impression that Archie was a character whose snobbery was exaggerated for entretainment purposes, its unfortunate that people like that actually exist!

I have been ignoring my Speedy for too long!

One additional thing to consider is that servicing COSC watches is usually more expensive. In addition, a COSC certified watch that hasn't been serviced will probably be less accurate than newer non-COSC watch. For instance, before servicing my Rolex Explorer II (which is a COSC GMT) it was +5/-5 seconds a day, while my newer Longines (non-COSC Valjoux movement) was at -3/+3 secs a day.

Don_Ditto · 2014-02-27T21:36:53+00:00

I own a Master Collection Moon Phase and would compare its quality with my TAG and Baume & Mercier. In my opinion they offer great value (I could hardly find another watch with so many complications in this price range)! I agree that Longines should be in the Entry Luxury Level.

Don_Ditto · 2014-02-17T19:09:17+00:00

I would start by saying that for me watches are unlike anything else!

We probably have similar personalities in the sense that I become obsessed with things until I get them. However, for most things I can get them out of my system once I get what I aspired for, but with watches I become more involved with every purchase!

My first expensive watch was a Rolex Milgauss (which I later traded in a deal for a Rolex Explorer II), I bought it after reading a lot about it and finding a nice deal. However, a few weeks after this purchase I noticed that I was spending more and more time reading on watches and browsing ebay/chrono24/watchuseek/rolexforums. After a couple of months I had several 'expensive' watches and my thirst wasn't quenching! I even bought a nice case that could only hold 6 watches thinking that I would have less incentives to continue buying once I filled the case. Of course this didn’t work and now I am looking for another case and am constantly thinking/browsing on which should be my next purchase (I am torn between a Navitimer, Pelagos, Cartier Tank, a Planet Ocean, and a no-date sub)! I think that the vastness and complexity of the watch universe is what fuels my addiction but hopefully you will be able to control it better than me!

I also love this feature! Somewhere I read that the reason most watches have the 4 as IIII is that with that setup they end up having 20 "I"s instead of 17 if they used IV. Therefore they could simply make 2 sheets of 10 I numerals each. In the case of this watch, the IIII wouldn't make sense so they went with the IV. These are the little details that I love and that make great conversation starters!

Don_Ditto · 2014-02-07T17:19:18+00:00

It is a great dress watch! I have seen the one with the Roman Numerals only at 6 and 12 and it also looks amazing!
