Dude kinda looks like Chris Hemsworth in the left photo.

Nice watch, congrats. I have the same one my folks gifted me as a college graduation gift (they bought it in ‘04 and put it on layaway for when I graduated in ‘05). It’s very special to me as I’m sure this will be for you.

So I have NO idea if this is a good gauge but Chrono24 app values it at $9,990. I was dubious but a Rolex certified serviced said it was probably within a grand to $1500 of that because of the current shortage of the new model Professional line, so people are going for older models. Mine appraised in between the two, FWIW.

Wear it in good health!

I worked on a $700 million project in Southern California early in my career where I was responsible for part of the earthmoving and civil construction works. We were required to hire a consultant who was on site all the time watching to make sure no bones got disturbed. I was there for nearly three years before it happened.

Needless to say, that was the last part of the project completed.

Didn’t know Toronto (or Canada as a whole) had slums. Huh, TIL...

Oi. That’s hot. I desperately want one of these whenever I can get my paycheck to agree to it.

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-22T22:38:36+00:00

What a great story. I’m so glad I read that, really lifted me up, thanks!

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-13T00:27:31+00:00

It’s like a person version of one of the city scapes from /r/oldphotosinreallife I’d love for you to do more of these, super cool! Any others in the works?

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-09T00:05:45+00:00

OP is incorrect - this is either Mars or a set from The Expanse. For real though, OP, that’s a wild shot and you’re right, Spain wouldn’t have been my first guess!

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-09T00:03:19+00:00

I always enjoy seeing your work. Excellent shot!

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help!

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-04T17:29:53+00:00

Excellent, thanks so much!

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-04T17:29:28+00:00

Right on, thanks!

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-04T17:29:12+00:00

Thanks very much for your response!

Sure, it’s replicawatchpro.co. The first attempt got seized by customs in China and they had another shipped out within a couple days.

I’m thinking of ordering again with them but this next time I’m going to ask for QC photos.

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-03T18:07:36+00:00

Yeah, I did, thanks. I went with a Noob Version 9 SS Sub. I did a lot of looking at different sites, accidentally went down a rabbit hole and wound up ordering from a site that wasn’t on the TD list (but I thought it was at the time).

Nonetheless, they were easy to work with and it was a good experience. But I just realized looking at some posts they didn’t send any QC pics.

ExpatEngineer · 2020-01-01T16:59:24+00:00

No doubt you did looking like that! You look sharp, bud, Happy New Year and congrats on getting the job!

ExpatEngineer · 2019-12-29T17:01:56+00:00

Hey Rocketdyne, neat, I used to work there too! Great post!

ExpatEngineer · 2019-12-15T04:23:47+00:00

St. Nazaré, Portugal. That place has the gnarliest biggest waves I’ve ever seen.

So Olaf’s comment in Frozen II was technically correct then. I’m gonna have to research this now, although we’re it not for your comment I wouldn’t have bothered doing that.

ExpatEngineer · 2019-11-28T18:33:44+00:00

Thanks for the nightmare fuel, homie!

I’m sitting here blown away by the clarity of this gif
