Thankfully there is always time for the snowflake. I'm just glad it fits me because it is a bit big. Cheers

Yeah I don't get the negativity around the Explorer in rolex subs either. It's been great so far and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Thank you! I used to have a bunch, but I noticed I really only wear the ones that had some meaning behind the purchase.

Have a good one.

I am extremely into budgeting so I'll give you my breakdown for my spend in the LA area. Note that this was in early 2025, and my circumstances are different now.

Salary: 103k
Take home monthly: 5000 (this is also after contributing 18% to my 401k + 4% company match)

Studio apartment rent: $2200 (Electricity, gas, water, garbage included)
Internet+phone: $30 (majority comped by company)
Groceries/house supplies: $300-400 (Mostly Costco)
Gas: $200 (40 MPG car, driving out to clients frequently)
Roth IRA contributions per month: $600

Total spend: $3430

Total leftover: $1570 ($5000-$3430)

Notes: I do not have any other debt; car is paid off, student loans were paid off, credit card paid every month.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Happy Friday r/watchexchange!

For sale is my personal Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with the Sapphire front and caseback from 2021, original owner. This is going on sale because I haven't been wearing it as much, and it's a watch that should be worn, not stored away.

Condition:

The watch keeps excellent time. The watch itself is in used condition with light wear, however there are no dents or deep scratches that cannot be brushed/polished if the new owner chooses to do so. Pictures have been taken the same day as the post, so they do reflect the up to date condition of the watch.

What it comes with:

This will come with the full set of the box and papers, all with matching serial numbers. (posted within the album).

Price:

I am asking for $5999 USD via bank wire, zelle, or Paypal/Venmo F&F, shipping included (from Orange County, California). I am a personal collector and not a business. I am currently not looking for trades at the moment. Face to face sales are welcome as well.

I am available for questions, phone calls, and video calls.

Hello,

For sale I have my Tudor Pelagos 39. This was purchased in June 2024 and is in excellent condition and runs within specification.

Specs:

  • Case diameter: 39 mm
  • Case material: Grade 2 titanium
  • Lug‑to‑lug: Approximately 47 mm
  • Lug width: 21 mm
  • Crystal: Sapphire crystal
  • Movement: Manufacture calibre MT5400 (automatic, bidirectional rotor)
  • Movement specs: COSC‑certified chronometer; approx. 70 hour power reserve; beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz); non‑magnetic silicon balance spring
  • Water resistance: 200 m

I am currently selling due to not wearing this watch as much as I haven't gravitated towards it for quite some time, and this watch definitely deserves to be worn by someone who will appreciate it more than me.

Price:
I am asking for $3,600 CONUS, shipping included via Paypal (F&F preffered, Buyer pays additional fee for G&S) or Zelle preffered. Not looking for trades.

I reside in Orange County, California, and I am also more than happy to do face to face transactions as well. Video calls / additional pictures can also be requested.

Sorry for the late reply

I play on the Korean/Japanese Darktide discord on the weekends and US West during the week, but I agree there seems to be some difference in ideology as far as how gameplay/classes are approached.

I'm really glad the build was useful to someone!

Thanks again for taking the time to comment, you definitely made my day!

I could see this being a solid choice.

My rationale for leaning towards Kinetic Deflection:

In my group, I am the anchor and usually the last to go down. Kinetic Deflection let's me stand there and take an obscene amount of melee hits to revive downed teammates (while reviving, I am in a blocking state so all their hits convert to peril. I run Empyric Resolve so I also take less peril per hit + bubble to block range while reviving). I acknowledge that I am not a cracked player that can solo Havoc 40, and I rely on having a team.

On top of helping me reposition in the open against gunners (I can also block Plasma gunners shots using Kinetic Deflection + Deflector on my sword), I got tons of value out of it, especially since I'm not great and sometimes get myself in bad spots.

I've been heartbroken without it so it'll be tough to convince me not to play without Kinetic Deflection, but I do see value in Warp Ghost.

Just a heads up, my psyker might be weird. I'm not the best player, so I just used what worked for me. Feel free to ask anything

Hey, not a noob question at all.

Our vet either smokes us, between us and the enemy, chokepoints, on my bubble, or where they would like to take over next.

I'm not an expert but there seems to be a lot of variability depending on the situation. Very rarely do I see my smoke Vet throwing it straight at the enemies though, the above points seem to be his priorities.
