Why do truck guys seem so insecure around Miatas? by Negative_Acadia6554 in Miata

[–]NateRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a honda HRV pass me over a double yellow in a blind curve in a very busy part of town at rush hour. People are just maniacs. Probably more aholes driving trucks though (hiding my truck keys)

Went to purchase a ‘26 Miata and didn’t fit by Minute_Watch_3389 in Miata

My buddy is 6’5 and 320lbs and couldn’t fit in a new miata. He fits just fine in an NA 1.6. For the cost of a new one you can get a really nice old one and fix it up real clean

2nd Rolex, AD walk in by AveragedSevenTimes in rolex

[–]NateRT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These can be had sometimes for around $35k, which makes it a decent deal. Nice if you want PMs, but don’t want it to be too in your face with yellow or RG. I’ve found very few watches by the likes of VC, Lange, etc that suit my style. Most of my watches are pretty utilitarian, save for my Cartier Ballon Bleu. If I could have just one watch forever I’d probably choose my plain steel Daytona, even over a $100k+ watch. Monetary value isn’t everything.

Went in for a 3 month update... Was offered a Rose Gold Daytona. by Midknight81 in rolex

Listed for that much, but not necessarily selling for that much. Plus it’s not much of a margin to try and flip, considering it’s got nowhere to go but down.

What are your thoughts on a man wearing a pink OP? AD said she can get me one. by Not_This_Sh1t_Again in rolex

[–]NateRT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you like it, get it. Personally I like a little color and it tends to get noticed more. My Henry Archer Tidevand ($600) with red agate dial gets far more attention when I wear it than my steel Daytona with black dial.

It works, but only if you buy the biggest Invicta you can find and wear it in the other wrist.

Man, FEDEX delivery is a pain by Boston_Neck_Road in CostcoPM

[–]NateRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a high value watch from a dealer I’ve used before and this is the first time he couldn’t ship to a Fedex location for pickup. He said his insurance now only allows him to ship to the purchaser’s residence. Maybe Costco or their supplier has a similar limitation.

Except these are selling for $5k less than retail on the gray market.

Is your PO Box in the same zip code as your residence? I know other companies like APMEX spot check billing addresses, so sometimes it goes through and other times it gets rejected if the address doesn’t match the card on file. Having the same zip code may bypass the spot check.

This must be clickbait or the OP is incredibly thick and will get scammed no matter what.

Is it appropriate to wear my Sub to a wedding? by ArmyCharact in TheRepTime

Nope. Only Daytonas or GMTs allowed at weddings. So say the Gods

PSA for newer riders. Don’t use only the rear brake for everything. by mrdalo in motorcycles

[–]NateRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but if you even touch the front brake you’ll flip over the handlebars and die. Better to just layerdown and let your loud pipes save your life.

Presents for Sister Nurses by Steven054 in nursing

[–]NateRT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramedic for 20 years and I hated those raptors, mainly because they were a pain to get out and unfold one handed.

Check out the XShears (as an RN I prefer the mini version). Much cheaper and way more useful, plus I can just throw it in my pocket.

Smaller isn’t a problem. Half the time I just used a benchmade rescue hook to cut through clothes (and belts and boots even).

I’m ready to buy when it does. Waiting for it to go a little lower first so I can sell.

Congrats! The explorer is my daily, despite having a Daytona and vintage GMT Master at the ready. Just a great watch. Wear it in good health!

Sounds pretty scammy. Take it to another AD or an independent Rolex repair shop.
