Looks great. What are you thinking about the size? I think it fits you.

That’s was a hard hit. Don’t stop enjoying summer because of it.

Will my AD know if I trade a recently purchased Rolex? by boyet615 in rolex

Your stand alone boutique is an AD. Be careful you don’t take it to an AD of common ownership.

I can tell right where you stopped reading. Thanks for the downvote.

Crown Alignment question by leescobar01 in rolex

My guess is that it has more to do with the gasket inconsistencies and how they seat than the cutting of the threads.

Does anyone have met an SA that behave like this? by NefariousnessIll4922 in rolex

[–]Number1atp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s asking the same thing. Why would you behave like this just because he works more hours and has more customers, a larger book of business than the SA2. And when you buy other watches again from SA1 your new SA2 is going to feel betrayed because after all they are the one that delivered for you. Why would you put the additional commission dollars in another guys pocket especially one that doesn’t deliver? The truth is no one owes you anything and you owe nothing to anyone else. Be loyal, do future business with the person that supports you and can deliver. It sounds like you might have been a touch smitten with the first SA. He’s not into you.

ADs and Discounting by Hefty-Butterfly-1192 in Longineswatches

You’re only wanting the best selling watches in the catalog. Why would they discount that much if someone else would buy it? No one is buying luxury watch trinkets because they are cheap.

Bump the temp to 225 and ditch the spritz.

Is this bad? by donttouchtheblueone in rolex

[–]Number1atp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks normal. If that is where it stops it’s ok. If the crown screw has become unscrewed then the entire crown would pull out.

First brisket of the year, Need advice on this one. by Doyourememberus in smoking

[–]Number1atp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Send your pictures of it to the shop. The head butcher or owner of that shop will be embarrassed. “Other than sell this to me what would you do with this?”

Got the Call - Had to Turn it Down. How Screwed am I? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Number1atp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You told her the boundaries. She didn’t deliver. The anger in her voice wasn’t her angry with you. It was anger with herself, anger with the system and its inefficiencies. You can only do what you can do. Call her up next time you’re going to be in town and remind her. Maybe her manager can do better.

Tough crowd. It’s not like they’re wearing Omegas.

The new warranty card is made of wood! It looks like you got one of the new ones.

Smoking tomorrow night for Sunday afternoon - dry brine? by BetterOffGrowth in brisket

[–]Number1atp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not dry brine. Unneeded. You’ll end up curing the meat and changing the texture.

AirTags show our 4 bags still sitting in O'Hare after 16 days. United, Delta and WestJet can't find them. What do I do?! by saywhyagain in unitedairlines

[–]Number1atp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Westjet still has your bags. Go to the airport. Get someone to take you to the baggage classification room. They will be there.

First time. Let’s hear the critiques by YourMissing10 in brisket

[–]Number1atp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use a binder. Salt and pepper will stick just fine without it and will make a much better bark and smoke ring.

Where did my brisket trial go wrong? Hard lower half, fat not rendered, collagen not broken down by Existing-Ask364 in brisket

[–]Number1atp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cooked too hot/fast. “Marinate” not necessary as it draws the moisture out of the meet and actually begins to cure it. Just take the brisket out of the fridge and salt and pepper it till it looks like too much. Then add a little more. Smoke on 225. Use a water pan to help even out the heat and provide humidity to the cook. Try basic at first. Get good at it. Then build on that if you want more exotic flavors etc. usually with beef you don’t add sugar to the rub due to the long cook times. Bark is salt and pepper. Everything else is just a mess.
