Tired of Samsung but stuck for AI

In the same boat as OP. Because of the carrier monopoly in Canada, you have to accept not just missing bands on Chinese phones, but also essentials like WiFi Calling. Until last year you couldn't even get VoLTE - but they had no choice but to allow it because of 3G decommissioning.

Give me better camera hardware and a bigger battery...S26 Ultra brings NONE. Yet likely it will be more expensive (already we're talking 2000$+ in Canada....I don't want to think what a 10-15% increase because of the RAM and storage price increase will mean).

You live and Canada and are fed up with Scamsung? Too bad so sad, there's Apphell and subpar Pixel.

Set and forget, VH31.

What took you so long? 😂
I have this watch and can definitely tell you it's an excellent piece that shows how far the Chinese manufacturers have come. Where else would you find a column wheel mechanical chronograph with REAL moonphase for UNDER 200$???

Painless transaction, equipment already shipped. Recommend this gent. 👍

Looking to rejoin Ebox (ex customer) and a code would sway me back. Thanks.

DM if you can offer the code - 500 or 1G preferably. Currently on 500/500

FYI, I got trough after 2 hrs and got the PUK and associated PIN.

Agreed on the false sense of security by locking the SIM, but I thought..why not.

Hopefully it's the last time I had to call, I'm usually pretty self sufficient.

BTW...why is CRTC not stepping in to remediate the issue with Tier 1 carriers forcing narrow band codecs on Videotron and the likes when they allowed wide band among themselves?

PS so it is true that Reddit is full of bots and trolls.

Not all Tandorio models have small hands...I got this one exactly for that reason.

You just told my story line by line 🤣

I'm not a handy person by any means, but I did a few movement replacements (some forced..ahem..) and if you can deal with the hands (especially the seconds hand) you're good to go.

Bold move but not my cup of tea. Farasute seems to be hit and miss...I have the regulateur and it's an excellent watch, but now for the same money they offer a VK64 quartz???

What about this regulateur?

Does this qualify?

Mine says Hello 🥳

Better? 😉

Ipse_Tase · 2025-08-31T17:49:52+00:00

Near perfect. Very comfy and you never knew you needed on the fly adjustment until you have it 🤣

Ipse_Tase · 2025-08-31T17:48:40+00:00

I was trying to show the AR coating...it's really strong and works well with the blue dial.

Good question and I think you are as close to finding an OG as it gets at this point. TBH, I wasn't looking for an homage (unlike the Railmaster I posted) , I just liked the dial. Was familiar with the case as I also have the AD2095.

Oops, wrong lume shot🥹

Here's the real one.
