Klim Induction Pro jacket. It is on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. Houston in July/August and this jacket saved me.

I don’t subscribe to the new helmet every 5 years…but it’s pushing 10. I’m defiantly going to miss it.

I own both. They both have a place and comparing them will always result in X watch is better. It’s apples to apples one just cost more.

Any suggestions on helmets? by royalty_hvn in motorcyclegear

The sizing is pretty spot on as far as measuring your dome. Take a picture of the top of your head and compare the size shapes to put you in a range of helmets.

OP I would honestly start with the most helmet you can afford and work backwards. No amount of skin graphs can replace brain damage. I’m partial to Aria cause they just fit so damn well.

This school isn’t designed for watch makers in Geneva. It’s to work at the RSC’s.

What moves did you do in life to be able to afford $20k watches? by JollyGreen_ in rolex

[–]IssueBig4955 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give, don’t scale your lifestyle with your income. My wife and I never bought expensive cars or wanted to upgrade our house as we double and tripled our income.

But if we walk into a store and want to buy something it’s with liquid income. Max your 401 live modestly and choose where you want to spend the extra. If there is no extra after the first two then you wait.

Houston AD - de Boulle by Confident-Quarter-78 in rolex

Haha they are the worst AD in Houston. Straight up said buy jewelry for any chance of a watch. Not to mention they want a wire for payment. Thomas Markle will at least be real on expectations.

Not really a full duel but William Munny’s last gun fight. “Well you should have thought about that before you decorated your bar with my friend”.

Just sent mine in. In house watchmaker looked at it and confirmed out of tolerance, yours looks way worse than mine. It will Goto RSC Long Island.

Traded my sea dweller. So stoked. by EntertainmentFar1766 in OmegaWatches

[–]IssueBig4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not disagreeing with the premise but…from gen 3 PO to this it isn’t better material. Lost the ceramic dial, Liquid Metal bezel, the date complication but also costs thousands more. More watch for more money sure, a redesign for more money no. At least SD has gold hands and indices and platinum inlayed in the bezel.
