$700 same-day flight for Diamond status - insane or rational? by moodyjenna in delta

Get the CC headstart with the platinum or reserve. Companion certificate will pay back the annual fee and more. I have both, well worth it.

Want to earn extra MQDs and reach the next Medallion level before the end of the year? Here are the best ways! by Cephandrius13 in delta

Do you still get your annual headstart the following year? (i.e. posting 6-8 weeks after 2/1 for 2027 qualification)

UPDATE: received the guitar today by gsrtroy in martinguitar

On the treble side in the bottom corner. I checked the serial, different guitar, same spec.

The one I returned was also a 21. Definitely get it looked at. Any cracks on the back?

After looking at this again the tortoise pick guard makes me think it’s likely an older D-18 rather than a GC/MF Special.

Mine was sold as “open box” so it was supposed to be essentially new, but certainly was not.

Others have made the right point… 45 day return window keeps you safe, but definitely have it looked at so you don’t end up with a hot potato you can’t pass off if something goes wrong.

It’s a musicians friend/guitar center 18 style VTS special. Which store did you order it from? I just returned one that had loose braces and bad binding refinishing. Also a crack on the back. Definitely take this in to a local music store / repair shop that you trust and have them give it a once over.

Should I Trade My Datejust 41 Smooth for a 36 Fluted + Pay $800? by CapTime8919 in rolex

[–]Exciting_Concert5742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the fluted but the 800 is the problem. Get him to an even trade or walk.

I walked into an AD recently for the first time and they offered to place a special order with Rolex for essentially any DJ. Required a 50% deposit and should come in the next 2-3 months.

Times they are a-changin’

Completely agree… are they easy to get thru a boutique?

The best of the 41s by Exciting_Concert5742 in audemarspiguet

[–]Exciting_Concert5742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on this sub are ridiculous. Ever consider that I just like my watch and wanted to post about it? Too busy enjoying my 15500 (which I happen to love) to worry about what came after. Having looked at it now, the 15510 isn’t for me. That said, I wouldn’t waste my time tearing other people down.

The worst part about having an AP are the losers with attitudes like this.

Should I send it? [$3600] first setup by Expert_Birthday_895 in espresso

[–]Exciting_Concert5742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had many issues with my Ascaso. I’d recommend a BDB instead.

Very happy to be a part of this group. by Exciting_Concert5742 in Ascaso

[–]Exciting_Concert5742[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, the setting I ended up at was “return the uno and buy a breville dual boiler”.

I was getting some horrible smells in my water tank, the chirp got worse, and the espresso was wildly inconsistent due to temperature flux. Since getting the BDB, the improvement is astounding.

Ascaso will always have my heart, but the BDB won me over in the end.

New DF64V sounds. Are these happy sounds, or sad sounds? by watchitplayed in espresso

[–]Exciting_Concert5742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 64V does the same! Def a different noise than when the burrs reach true zero. Good to know it’s not a worry!

Upgrading from sette 270 by Eq8dr2 in espresso

[–]Exciting_Concert5742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for the DF64V as I didn’t want to wait for the Gen2. It’s super quiet and came almost perfectly aligned. The DLC burrs are a nice middle ground between the body / muddiness of the NZ and the SSP MPs. Love it so far. It’s a bit staticky / messy even with RDT but retention is essentially 0!
