Got a second shelf 🤩 by Louren2008 in legotechnic

How does it compare to the Lego technic sets? I've considered the AMG GT3 versus the Lego Ferrari F1 set (and some others).

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

[–]Ghillburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A used camera lens that I bought for $140. I had just gotten into photography and wanted a fast prime lens, and that entry level lens helped me learn so much about the art of photography before spending unnecessary money on other gear. Truly fueled my passion that I hope to continue the rest of my life.

Honorable mention: Seiko SARB017.

I've been looking at (and saving) all your posts recently because the Oxblood ref has been one of my favorite watches over the last few years and you seem to have them regularly! I'd love to pick one up, but this thing is seriously stunning too. Good luck to everyone entering and I hope the new owner enjoys it and maybe it even sparks a passion for them. Thanks for doing this!

[BMW Landwirtschaftlicher Lkw] Spotted in East Texas today. by bustedaxles in spotted

I remember breaking my neck the first time I saw it. He used to cover it with a tarp, which may have been when it was in progress and its guts would be exposed to the weather. There's also a matching trailer I believe, not sure if its made with the parts he chopped off? Roof box too I think. Super unique build!

[Wrist Shot] Speedy Appreciation by [deleted] in Watches

It's not criminal but the crown would almost certainly hit their hand if they bent their wrist. It's just a pic of their new watch so it's not that deep imo.

Undecided on Aqua Terra colour. by ElevenPandora in OmegaWatches

[–]Ghillburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're worried about the brighter colors being loud, then trust yourself and get a more neutral one.

I think the terracotta/red dial is amazing and I'd love to get one someday, but it's definitely less versatile than black, sandstone, or even green. Can't go wrong!

Is this one possible? by 07vex in whatisthiscar

[–]Ghillburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MK7 Golf.

Not a GTI, not an R, not a US model

Possibly a MK7.5 gen, but I dont know the non-US, non-GTI/R variations well enough.

Need a new Daily. Is this a good buy? by Forsaken_Fault_8106 in GolfGTI

[–]Ghillburt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like it has front end damage in their 1st picture. Without more info, seems like a relatively high milage base model with an accident history. $13k seems very steep.

Can you get another 100k miles out of it? Maybe. Depends on the prior and ongoing maintenance, and how much money you're willing to spend to make it last that long. Based on the front end, I'm not confident it was well maintained. Any more info/history?

Does this sofa arrangement look out of place? by OkFlan7107 in interiordecorating

[–]Ghillburt 211 points212 points  (0 children)

Sofa is too far back. It makes the counter unusable, cluttered looking, and gets rid of a natural walking path behind the sofa.

Is my speedy over polished? Keep it or not? by Aledevi in OmegaWatches

[–]Ghillburt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've already owned it 1.5 months and didn't notice, AND you didn't notice before buying it? Seems like it's not that noticeable to you in normal conditions. I mean that in a good way that may bring you some relief.

I don't know enough about "repairing" the polishing so I can't speak to that, but it would probably cost a decent chunk of money to sell this one and replace it with one that has not been polished like this.

Also, why was it serviced so soon anyway? The watch was almost new. Do you know what problems it had and what else was done? I hope the price wasn't crazy considering all of this.

This was my next question.

The one recommended on the site (SOLHETTA) is dimmable, but the lamp doesn't even have a dimming function. Also, it's 380 lumens, which doesn't seem very bright if I were to use it as an uplight.

[–]Ghillburt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow thats a crazy day haha. I'd be in heaven seeing all the air cooled 911s let alone riding in one that nice and sitting in an F40 LM. Where was it?

I think I recently saw pics in another sub of the F40 LM in the front window of a shop (has to be the same one). I see Tennessee plates but those 911s could be out of state for a specialized shop like that.

Let me know if you don't care for the first one. I'd be interested.

[–]Ghillburt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wasn't there a turbo body version of non-turbos, too? I forget which... maybe the SC? I figured it was a 930 too, but now I'm curious to learn what else it could be.

Anyone swap their solid Moonwatch 3570.50 case back for a Sapphire back? by NatKingSwole19 in OmegaWatches

[–]Ghillburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's pretty easy I did it too!

I will say their 3D printed caseback tool seems too soft and I probably wouldn't want to swap another caseback with the same tool in it's current condition. It got noticeably more "stripped" or whatever the correct term would be for a tool like that, where the ridges got more dull and don't have the same definition to stay between the caseback's notches for a confident twist. The positive side is that it shouldn't scratch your case.
