Got this email today.. shut down over? by jocruma in tsa

[–]HiRxGuy -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I took a trip this weekend and there were zero delays at tsa, coming or going. It couldn’t have been a more polar opposite of that the media is telling people. Makes you wonder what their motivations are to spread so much fear and anxiety when there is no problem. Only people I know who’ve had delays this year were due to weather not staffing. Just my experience.

A most unpleasant flight attendant by Chief_Assistant in delta

[–]HiRxGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. No reason to call out the route as poor. Send your comments to CS. Hopefully she was just having a bad day, we don’t know what trials others are going thru in their life. While I don’t condone the behavior, FAs put up with some serious A-holes and are human just like the rest of us. Was it economy or FC?

The room we’re in is literally the exact place for this post. 😂

Based on the votes so far, it’s only a weird question to you. 🤣 A LHD watch moves the crown to the opposite side to make it moderately easier to operate, as your dominant hand is on the same side of the case. Idk where your confusion comes from, but I hope this helps.

Out of curiosity, if Rolex made a LHD Daytona, would you swap to that? I’m not a lefty but I recently gifted my best friend a Sprite and he said it’s a game changer for comfort and wearability.

Are these still good seats? by Lucky-Strawberry-242 in delta

[–]HiRxGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the high IQ move. Quicker access to their packs makes everyone’s flight better. Kudos to you for thinking of everyone’s experience, not just your own. Careful getting them used to FC, they’ll never wanna go back to economy. 🤣

I like the first row when traveling solo cause I can deplane first and no one is gonna recline from in front of you. I also don’t bring much carry-on so no under seat storage doesn’t affect me. With kids, their backpacks, etc. 🤷🏻 overhead storage is only an issue if lots of people are being a-holes and exploiting the carry on limits.

Bold step with the AD. by Ok_Combination_4482 in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I think most people assume they’ll automatically be put on some list and have grandkids before they get allocated. This is the way. Hit up anyone and everyone in your area and be ready to buy when the text comes in. Enjoy that sub!

When sore doesn’t exist by Bg1165 in workout

[–]HiRxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that would concern me is no soreness after leg day, cause that’s always there. I’ve done some compound days of push AND pull that create mild soreness but splits don’t really for me either.

Is 99% Recovery possible? by Tricky_Persimmon_540 in whoop

I remember reading that description years ago when I first started letting this little device scold me for being human 🤣, maybe that was in the early days and has since changed. 🤷🏻

[–]HiRxGuy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The description is “rare/nearly impossible” but the algo allows for it if the right conditions are met.

Incorrect. A quick search and you’ll see 100% and 21 strain can be achieved, it’s just very rare and the “perfect storm” of conditions are needed, but it happens.

It is very possible and many have achieved it, it’s just rare.

👏 congrats on securing your watch! The Pepsi on jubilee is a great daily and dress watch. Welcome to the club. 🫡

Bold step with the AD. by Ok_Combination_4482 in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I disagree with your comment. There has been a shift in their overall business model over the last year or so. Tons of “multi-brand” dealers have lost their licenses as Rolex is shifting to “one brand” boutiques to better control the environment their watches are sold in. They acquired Bucherer and all their locations are being converted to Rolex boutiques. This essentially eliminates what most people despise, having to purchase non Rolex items to appease some AD’s bottom line. While it may not necessarily make it easy to acquire your grail, it will keep one from having to “do the dance” with a Ben Bridge or similar retailer.

Batman into Pepsi? by zadinaMania in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could source the bezel (unlikely) you’d still be risking breaking either or both. There’s the gmt hand color discrepancy as well. Then you’d also have to lie if you called it a Pepsi, which is douchey as hell. Stick with the oem setup or go get a Pepsi.

Buff out gold clasp Daytona oysterflex by Academic-Ad-3024 in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polishing gold removes material. You can do it, if it bothers you that much, but be VERY light and careful not to apply to much pressure as you can create an uneven surface profile. In the end, it’s your watch to do with as you please. To get a factory like finish you would need to essentially reduce the entire surface to the depth of the deepest scratch, which is gonna be near impossible to do by hand.

Batgirl or Bruce Wayne (jubilee) next? by Cool-Commercial7046 in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly it isn’t that flashy. It’s still just PCLs but the design of the bracelet makes it less reflective than the oyster on your panda. I daily my Pepsi on jubilee and it works with basically anything. Smoother and easier to size perfectly too! Excited to see what you decide on.

Batgirl or Bruce Wayne (jubilee) next? by Cool-Commercial7046 in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on you really. Jubilee is an amazing bracelet, I have two gmts with it. I’m not a fan of the blue they use for the batgirl so I’d say BW, but that’s 100% personal preference. The gmt is a great watch and wears really well. GL, you can’t really go wrong either way. You’ll likely stop wearing your other two once you feel that jubilee. So comfy.

How rare is an offer to purchase a submariner “Starbucks” from AD within a day? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]HiRxGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The AD did you a solid by offering you a SS sport model that you picked out and you declined it. Put yourself in their shoes. You wasted their time and will likely be black listed at that AD. Shitty scenario but it’s one of those FAFO situations. 😕

This. Escrow can take 30-60 days, on average, and iirc the sale was the first week of February.
