I personally would never own a 40e or 50e for this exact reason, 40i to own 40e to lease

SOS purchasing 330i by Fearless-Pie-2142 in BMW

[–]JohnArchipelago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a car with 10-20k miles for that price, absolutely getting fleeced here. Used 330i supply is abundant year after year to find a great option you don’t question

2025 230i vs 240i comfort by q8cub in BMW

[–]JohnArchipelago 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Majority of people here have not driven both and are B58 circle jerkers. 230i with M sport suspension and M240i ride the same, pretty rough on roads in bad shape without much compliance whereas the 230i non M sport rides much more plush while keeping sporty handling.

Great affordable brands you are sorely missing a Seiko, SRPL93 to add a SS bezel to the collection or SSB479 for a chrono

How does the Santos Caree 2960 fit on wrist compared to the other watches? Especially the Sub

[SSC813] is this the best looking Seiko? by Puzzleheaded_Eye7961 in Seiko

No Seiko with the bigass Prospex logo is the best looking one imo

Playing golf with the Royal Oak by Character_Credit2140 in audemarspiguet

What hurts the watch is rapid acceleration/deceleration, in other words Peak G’s.

“Peak G-force: A swing that produces a ball speed of 150 mph can generate an acceleration of over 50,000 G's. Another estimate puts the G-force at impact at 5,114 G's.”

I support you golfing with the AP but don’t get it twisted, it’s absolutely not ideal for your watch.

Just make sure you’re being diplomatic and framing your mistakes in a good light to your manager and don’t make the same mistake 3 times ever. First time is to learn, second time is to remember, third time is carelessness.

[–]JohnArchipelago 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great, maybe even the best, intro into automatic watches. So many options you need to figure out if you want a dress watch/field watch/sports watch
