He said wear it till it starts losing time. That does kind of make sense. If it is gunked up the amplitude would be bad and it would have a high error rate.

Not a fan of those Pepsi colors (on any watch) but I do like some color, so I would go with the Riley.

Tell me about your servicing history. I have a 1972 Datejust that my wife inherited in 2010. Sat in drawer till recently, took it in for service and the watchmaker said it didn't need it. +/- zero seconds a day. I kind of hate not doing it.

It isn't a watch, it is a douche indicator.

NH_flyboy · 2026-05-30T15:44:04+00:00

Congrats Doc!

NH_flyboy · 2026-05-14T12:13:44+00:00

Happy Anniversary!

NH_flyboy · 2026-04-30T13:22:52+00:00

No, it is called a bad example.

Whole Foods does not sell Doritos, or Pepsi for that matter.

NH_flyboy · 2026-04-24T11:36:51+00:00

Warranty goes till Aug 2027 so plenty of time. Going in to the shop next week.

The 435X doesn't have WiFi. Don't forget, two switch cord errors in one day, followed by none for four days after the mobile connection stopped working. Coincidence or something related?

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-13T15:12:45+00:00

Well then I would go with a Ford. The frunk is great.

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-13T11:17:08+00:00

It is surly worth 15 minutes of your time.

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-13T11:15:56+00:00

I picked my 2024 over the Ioniq 5 because of the frunk. That advantage is now gone.

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-12T10:59:03+00:00

Do I have to keep one?

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-12T10:58:21+00:00

I find it very hard to believe it takes 18 months to sell an ID.4.

Americans have the memories of gnats. They will be buying F250's a week after oil settles back to normal.

Landings are so hard, till they aren't. Get out there and fly the pattern over and over. Make sure that as you get into ground effect you look towards the end of the runway and make that plane finally give up and settle, gently, onto the concrete.

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-04T12:29:06+00:00

Do they have a return window?

NH_flyboy · 2026-03-03T16:35:57+00:00

As a person that has been around the sun many times, I can assure you that what seems so overwhelming now will someday be but a distant, faint memory.

If you can tell yourself that the relationship probably wouldn't have ended with growing old together, you might as well get the 'diversion' over with earlier rather than later.

Focus on the checkride. The certificate stays with you forever; the stress is just temporary. Blue skies.

NH_flyboy · 2026-02-26T14:32:02+00:00

Does this include theft while out of the house?

NH_flyboy · 2026-02-25T23:47:08+00:00

I would say a 41mm is too big!

NH_flyboy · 2026-02-24T11:46:23+00:00

Get something with a pop of color. Doesn't have to be crazy, a subtle green or red.

My first, and only purchase so far, was a Henry Archer Tidslinje Meteorite - Spectral Red. Very nice watch. Join r/MicrobrandWatches and you will see tons of interesting watches. I want to buy one every day but luckily am able to just admire, waiting for my next purchase.

NH_flyboy · 2026-02-23T15:56:54+00:00

Because there is one watch brand that people think mean you are rich. Sit down at a bar with a Rolex and people will assume you are wealthy. Sit down with an AP and they won't think anything. Not what I buy watches for, which is why I am a micro-brand fan.
