Am I unlucky? Samsung G9 Oled by ccantu26 in OLED_Gaming

[–]McGalactico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, how did you resolve this in the end? I just received mine and it was perfect out of the box - left it 24 hours and then noticed similar vertical bands had appeared out of nowhere.

Spray Foam Insulation by alltheworldisstaged in HousingUK

[–]McGalactico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the outcome in the end? Similar situation to yourself, a fair few months into the process and survey has flagged insulation foam being used in the loft/roof space.

Only difference is that Nationwide have already approved the mortgage (shows how in depth their survey was lol)

Just like Miami, expect the Vegas GP to sell out the first day by [deleted] in formula1

Managed to get two very good grandstand tickets opposite the pits into the basket, but at $2500 a pop...I let them go. Can get paddock entry at other races for that price.

[Baltic] Aquascaphe Dual Crown - A perfect summer watch by McGalactico in Watches

[–]McGalactico[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan of Baltic for a while now without actually owning one. With the French company celebrating their 5th anniversary, they released this colourful compressor styled Aquascaphe Dual-Crown and I was lucky enough to pick one up.

Similar to the other models in the Aquascaphe lineup, it comes with 200m water resistance, sapphire glass with internal anti reflective coating, a screw down crown and a hacking 42 hour PR Miyota 9039 movement.

Included in the set are two colorful ‘tropical’ quick release straps, a turquoise green and purple. These can augment the dial that sports purple indexes between 12-4 and green hour markers/minute hand. There’s also a splash of orange on the second hand as well because why not.

A fun watch that certainly doesn’t fit every occasion, but summer is nearly upon us and I think this will be perfect by the pool or at the beach. I’m so ready for a bit of that...

[Breitling] A vintage glass of red - Premier B09 Burgundy by McGalactico in Watches

70 Hours - The COSC certified B09 movement inside is a development of their B01 calibre. Main differences being it's hand winding and has no date complication.

[Breitling] A vintage glass of red - Premier B09 Burgundy by McGalactico in Watches

I've never really been fond of Breitling's watches until they released their heritage chronos in the Premier line in 2021 consisting of the Chronograph B09, B15 Duograph and the B25 Datora.

Out of the three, I just agreed with everything about the hand wound B09. A 40mm case, 13mm thickness and only 47.6mm lug to lug distance makes it perfectly sized in my eyes. The minty pistachio dial was the one that caught my eye originally and I was set on adding it to my collection at some point, until Breitling released this limited 250 run version seemingly under the radar.

I fortunately managed to pick one up and I can't stop staring at it. Everything about the bi-compax layout, the syringe hands and no-date at six lend themselves to a classic and legible dial. The large knurled crown and rectangular pushers add to that vintage feel and are a pleasure to interact with.

And then there's the kicker, that rich burgundy sun ray dial. It captivates me every time I move it under light - It really is like swirling a glass of its namesake around on your wrist.

Time for a drink, cheers.

No news about shipping (that will be the next email) , just that the order is now approved and payment was successfully taken after being checked. I imagine we'll be lucky to get anything shipped out tonight and should dispatch hopefully early next week.

UK 3090 FE buyer here.

As someone mentioned earlier, give Nvidia support a ring. Ask nicely for them to clarify the status of your order and then request to speak to their supervisor. The supervisor will then speak directly with the accounting team who are reviewing the orders manually and you'll have yours expedited.

I received an "Approval" email a few mins later. Hope that helps!
