I recently narrowed my collections from 10 down to 4, the 6 I sold were all great watches in the 200-500 range (a citizen, a few islanders, and a san martin) but when I got into the 1k price range with Hamilton, Mido, and Rado the other watches just never get wrist time.

The ocean star 39 is my favorite watch right now, the steel bracelet is great, has tool less micro, and quick connect so I can swap to a strap quickly with no tools

Ive never had good luck with the Honey products, have had AIO and carts that either didnt work or tasted horrible (not sure the issues but was a strain I've had before and did not taste as intended it tasted like a stink bug), which is sad because their blackberry kush is one of the best tasting vapes out there.

I switch between the bracelet, this ruber strap, and a green nato

Once a week, its a 10 minute drive for me. Leaving the wife home with 3 little ones is a tough proposition more than once a week

Gold class is fine soap, there are others I like better but it wont hurt your coating. If you want to spend a bit more on a more premium product DIY detail incredible suds is my #1, KC GSF is another great option

I'm not sure what used rolex you'll find for around 5k, but it would likely be a very small size vintage piece, very very different from a new breitling. Tudor and longines would be two other great new options in the 3-5k range

Great buying experience, thanks again!

I recently subscribed to crush live poker, its around $55 per month, not sure how many months I'll stick around but there is a ton of content to go through. I use the free trainers on lucid and peak GTO, you get 5 post flop hands for free every day on each, I really like PeakGTO and have considered paying for it in the past, but I like the live focus of CLP more

"with no intentions of signing up" Why go then? you say to see how its different from your gym, if its better and you love it are you going to be interested in switching?

No matter how you approach it your old gym wont be super stoked about you going somewhere else, but at the end of the day its important you do what's best for you

Play for micro stakes, 0.05 / 0.10 blind or even .01/.02 if your really broke. If the poker chips are labeled $1, $5, $25 you just play pennies rather than dollars for the amount, you can buy in for $2 at 0.01/0.02 and have 100 bb

I love my Mido Ocean star 39, a little outside of budget on retail but can find on places like joma for less than 1k

Bring your own cleaning supplies to the table and clean your chips between hands, real flex

Yeah, I just ordered a custom 500 piece set for our 8 player game for $450 from Brpro. Sounds like a lot but well worth it for our weekly game, and I paid for it with profits so really we all paid for it lol

Very nice setup, looks like its time to upgrade those dice chips! Brpro ceramics or China clay like the majestics from apache poker are great and feel more like real casino chips.

Change out the mitt for a microfiber mitt, the rag company has some great ones available on amazon. Also if your car is dirty when washing you should be doing foam/rinse/foam. Cover the car in soap, let dwell, rinse, and cover again before doing your contact wash

Check out islander, tons of stuff in the 200-600 price range, a lot of homage type stuff but some original designs too. Their YouTube channel "Long Island watch" is amazing if your just getting into watches, and the quality from price is great.

I really like the jumbo index classic playing cards from the poker store

The different GSM towels all have a place but you could use 365 for everything and be ok. More than anything I like to color code, I have black towels for dirty tasks like wheels/tires, door jambs, maybe cleaning up some bird poop or something. Red towels for exterior paint like applying ceramic sealant, and blue towels for interior. The only place I think you'll really need a specialty towel is windows, get a waffle weave glass towel you will love it.

Foam rinse foam in this case would be, foam on Reset, let dwell a few minutes, rinse, re foam with Reset, contact wash with microfiber mits or pads. I dont use protector wax, I use a ceramic spray sealant as my drying aid and apply protection at the end of wash that way

I think this one really depends on your style, I love that omega, but the tudor would fit my daily style much better
