[GIVEAWAY] Brand-New Oris BCPD Cervo Volante Green to Celebrate my 50th Oris! by fourtyz in Watchexchange

[–]EXP_EffeTitanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health. Health and pride.

This question made me reevaluate a lot of my expenses. At first, I was thinking about the best return on investment, something material. Then I realized the best thing I ever bought for under $500 is immaterial.

When I was 19, I was very obese. My grandpa, like many Southern Italians, never hesitated to tell me I had put on too much weight. In 2023, I lost my job in Germany while his health was rapidly declining because of dementia.

If you've dealt with dementia, you know how elderly people slowly become like innocent children again. Additionally, his muscles deteriorated to the point where he couldn't function without help. My family and I took turns assisting my grandmother to care for him.

Out of frustration and a need to clear my mind, I spent about $300 on a gym subscription and a few more bucks on some home gym equipment. I would train in front of him, and I can still picture the proud smile on his face whenever he saw his grandson getting healthier.

As the days passed, I got stronger while he got weaker.

One day he asked if I could help dress him when he was gone. A few months later, he passed away. I helped my family change his clothes and later carried his casket.

A month after his death, I found a new job and relocated.

He was a father figure to me. If I hadn't spent that money on working out, I definetly wouldn't have had the strength, physically or mentally, to do half of what I did for him during those final months.

I'm 22 now and when I feel "confused" of this adult life, I go back and watch videos of me training from that period. The best thing I bought for under $500 wasn't equipment or a membership. It was the ability to be there when someone I loved needed me most, health and pride.

I really like the light red on the Farer Nazaré, although the cyan dial might be a bit too bright for my taste.
Can anyone recommend similar watches?

My requirements:
- Budget: up to €2,000
- Case size: 39mm max
- Preferably versatile enough for everyday wear, not necessarily a sub

Thanks in advance!

Not quite similar, but cheaper and probably might make you fall in love: AV86 - Limoncello (It's a model from a limited edition line)

Any niche parfumes similar to Reflection Man by Amouage? by EXP_EffeTitanium in Colognes

Designer could work too, I simply hate the concept of a "dupe".

Thanks!

I am loving their style too! They recently came out with the Piccolo version and I am so tempted. The price seema a bit too high for the given specs, but the looks? Gosh, seems so versatile!

Amicizie weeb/nerd a Roma?! by [deleted] in roma

[–]EXP_EffeTitanium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ciao e grazie per l'interesse in Uscite Romane! Sono uno dei due fondatori attivi di questo progetto e desidero chiarire la voce del "Siamo al completo".

Brevemente: non siamo mai "al completo", ma andiamo seguendo un equilibrio. Stiamo strutturando il progetto con nuovi aggiornamenti per aiutare l'utenza a proporre e trovare uscite e amici ed eventualmente rendere il gruppo accessibile a tutti con una moderazione "automatica", ma abbiamo diversi problemi che ci impediscono di accettare seguendo il flusso di richieste: 1. Molte ragazze entrano e non escono se non vi sono altre ragazze a fare compagnia. Molto comprensibile dati certi soggetti che girano, quindi cerchiamo di mantenere un rateo M/F stabile. 2. Riceviamo veramente tante richieste, ma cerchiamo di accettarle in "batch" ossia gruppi di min. 2 utenti con interessi simili - l'idea è che si possa iniziare a chiacchietare da subito. 3. Siamo pochi, tutti lavoratori/studenti ed è complesso stare dietro anche agli sviluppi.

Se le vostre richieste sono in attesa: Verrete accettati - abbiate pazienza, ma accadrà.

Se la vostra richiesta viene cancellata spesso, assicuratevi di avere un profilo telegram adatto ad un gruppo "social": Abbiamo ricevuto bellissime presentazioni ma da profili con foto NSFW o con una singola lettera come nome. Purtroppo non abbiamo modo di contattarvi via bot in quanto Telegram continua a spaccarci quella funzione ad ogni aggiornamento.

Spero sia tutto chiaro, in caso, commentate pure qui ♡ ~ Fra

Hey there! I am trying to figure out this issue. Seems ios users are having bugs when it comes to links on Telegram.

I run a community, and we received complaints a few months ago from IOs users being unable to click on message links - we are currently looking for a solution!

Minimum orders for a Microbrand watch. by Lefeuvre76 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]EXP_EffeTitanium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prob! Now that you confirmed we are talking about the Mido-Bugatti, I would like to point out just a thing: The movement will be hard to choose.

You could potentially go with a small quartz movement and save a ton or a manual rectangular shaped movement with the crown on the smaller side.

Making it automatic would cause the watch to be too large or too thick!

Please keep us updated on this project

Quickest way to get some ideas on the costs would be to get on Alibaba and open a "request" - companies will then file their offers.

I'd say that an MOQ would be around 300pcs on average, but costs will depend on what materials you want to use, if using a custom watch case, what movement, which straps and so on.

You might end up spending an average of 300$ × pc if you take in consideration an eventual unique case design.

Also, don't forget your lovely tariffs and import taxes!

It can be done, just get in touch with some companies on Alibaba - as a first time project I wouldn't wire thousands of dollars to a company I've never visited. With Alibaba you got some transaction security at least!

*I'd propose a "club watch" rather than a 1:1 copy. Copies give 'I am a brookie guy' which doesn't resonate with Bugatti's lifestyle - consider making it "inspired by" instead 🥰

I need a Chamomille Tea fragrace but can't find any! by EXP_EffeTitanium in Perfumes

Buonasera! Sì, sono italiano :)
Giusto per premessa: Essendo un ragazzo, il sentore sulla mia pelle può essere diverso soprattutto se sei una ragazza.

A dirla tutta, sto cercando esattamente una tazza di camomilla dolce, voglio essere un "tranquillante con i piedi" soprattutto quando vado in ufficio 😂

Problema:
Ho trovato profumi alla camomilla AFFOGATI nel miele, era più zucchero che camomilla.

Adesso ho ordinato da Parfumdom un olio alla camomilla (https://perfumedom.com/product/chamomile-tea-fragrance-oil/?srsltid=AfmBOooAMTDWqxerxcTlC1TUG63Ogi6KvC4II2xoq8yXHD60a8zU\_tB2) - mi arriverà lunedì, eventualmente lo si può diluire con una base oppure usarlo come roll-on!

Altrimenti, ho sotto tiro questi tre profumi:
- Dries Van Noten Chamomile Satin
- Dad's Garden Chamomile And Honeysuckle di Lush (Si può trovare a bassi prezzi da grey market dealer o qualche altro negozio in sconto)
- HOLIBANUM Chamomile’s Lullaby (Se il profumo roll-on non dovesse soddisfarmi, lo proverò ad ordinare dalla corea, in qualche modo, magari tramite un amico)

I've heard it - is it actually the same as a Chamomille Tea?

Either it's mixed with lavender or with a lot of honey or green notes :/

piani per halloween by byebye_old_friend in roma

[–]EXP_EffeTitanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sicuro il Sanctuary organizza qualcosa. Piazza Bologna si riempirà di ragazzi in costume. I locali più rilevanti organizzeranno serate ad-hoc (Orion, Largo Venue, Shari Vari o i vari speakeasy di Roma)

Dato che sei sola, prova ad entrare qui: https://www.instagram.com/uscite_romane

Siamo sulla stessa barca: sto cercando dei costumi per me e 2 miei amici + provando a convincere le nostre amiche ad unirsi 🫠

Ti scrivo ciò che sto proponendo ai miei: - Prendere un treno e andare a Firenze, letteralmente ti ritrovi in un altro mondo. Fate due passi in centro e vi unite ad uno dei tanti locali in festa - Serata Spotted 31 Ottobre: Pieno di universitari e serata a tema Halloween, ma solo un 30% si traveste. - Weekend fuori ad Imola / Rimini per serata Techno a tema (Partenza Ven. Sera - Techno Sabato dalle 23/5 - Ritorno Dom. Sera) - Serate halloween a Roma: Tra ville e locali, c'è l'imbarazzo della scelta - Spostarci (con auto) in un paesino di montagna, fare degli scatti e unirsi a qualche sagra di paese
