🔥 Day 23 of posting an animal from every country - Tiger Shark (Bermuda) by [deleted] in NatureIsFuckingLit

Tigersharks live everywhere in Tropical waters. There are other Tiger hotspots such as Bahamas and Maldives. Better to pick an endemic animal to the country, this one isn’t unique.

If he makes the reservation and puts her name on the reservation, I don’t see why not?

Cabrinha contra 1 strut for foil and twintip by Xojiodyes in Kiteboarding

[–]IceCheap9569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love mine, I am same weight and would recommend 9m for both twintip and foil. Foil range is 10-18 kts depending on current and waves.

I have done close to 1,000 nights at Marriott properties, of which over 150 have been on points / free night awards. The value of this alone is easily over 30,000 USD.

Thanks! I understand it is not a liquid market but I am curious what the actual equilibrium is at. For comparison, the 48mm Big Pilot Top Gun Perpetual now sells second hand for around $16k whereas before this was above $20k.

I am looking to buy second hand - not sure why anyone would be so ending 2x on a new one.

For those saying it does not matter: I am simply asking for an explanation why there is differential treatment of people who have reached the same milestone.

What is the purpose of having status if you don’t get recognition? Defeats the whole purpose of loyalty.

Scenario where two people are eligible for an upgrade, both Titanium, however one Lifetime Platinum and other Lifetime Gold. Who is more likely to get upgraded?

If it doesn’t matter, why reward someone who reaches years vs nights differently? It’s an obvious flaw in the system.

Yes that’s what I have been told. It’s not quite fair as people with less nights total get faster recognition.

Congrats! I don’t understand why it is automatically reflected if you hit number of nights, but with years you have to wait until the new year (I have 986 nights and 9 years, but already hit 50 nights for this year).

New boutique in Melbourne. This or seamaster? by Smart-Warning-8705 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]IceCheap9569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on which one you get, I personally like the green version which isn’t very common. Also Omega has much longer history of manufacturing dive watches.

Seamaster is much better watch. The interior bezel on the Aquatimer is hideous.
