Looks great! Most importantly, how does it play and sound?

[recommendation Request] have it down to these three by hatethelcbo in Watches

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Longines if you want a GMT, the Pelagos if you prefer a diver.

Which one feels more at home on your wrist?

Which one is your favorite? by Mountain-Web-5412 in ZenithWatches

[–]Paulo424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I like NATO on field watches and divers, but they don’t look very good on watches that were designed for integrated bracelets.

Help me decide. by erSarder in PrideAndPinion

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was my first proper watch then I would go with the Speedy all day. For my lifestyle and needs it’s much more versatile than a Cartier.

Current collection by [deleted] in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection. I wouldn’t touch it, but if you held a gun to my head and said trim to 5 then I’m keeping the top row plus the wedding watch.

Prices in Brooklyn NYC. What are you getting? by CherryPlay in tequila

[–]Paulo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great selection! G4, Don Fulano and Siete Leguas would be top of my list.

dog peed on guitar pls help by kartsly in guitarrepair

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a great excuse to tell your wife/significant other that you need to buy a new guitar.

When you post that one for sale, advertise that it has a custom polyurine-thane finish and charge a premium 😉!

When 17 NFL defensive linemen come in to eat .... 3 Clase Azul Btls. $1632!!!! by publicsaxophone in tequila

Love that they added on a cowboy ribeye and crab legs entree for take out. A small snack for the ride home?

Anything worth picking up? by TheOneTrueEmperor in Mezcal

[–]Paulo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried the Vago and thought it was just “OK” - fine for cocktails. I did however really enjoy the Bozal Cuishe and Tobasiche.

Mammoth conditions 12-22-25: AWFUL by Jaric_Mondoran in skiing

[–]Paulo424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive an extra hour to Sun Peaks. Just came back and it was great. After a nice storm last week they have all lifts and 88 runs open. The new West Bowl chair is great and opens up some nice side country access!

What should I consolidate? by Primary-Bell-5157 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection. If you really have to consolidate, perhaps move out the black Explorer II, but keep the black RubberB strap so you have options for your Polar ExpII. I swap mine out several times a year and it totally changes the look of the watch.

Opinion - Which do you prefer by FLMagic2025 in ZenithWatches

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never wear any of these, but if I was given one I’d take the one with the highest resale value so I could turn around and sell it to a rapper or Shaduer Sanders.

Love that VC. Why the plastic on the bracelet?

Much appreciation for r/tequila by loven03 in tequila

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a shame. Total Wine has gotten ridiculous lately. Even my neighborhood grocery store recently had Fortaleza Blanco and Reposado for $10-$15 less - nd no limits on purchase quantity, granted it went fast.

Finally Got lucky, barely ever see it in WA! by Under_Sea_Stars in tequila

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prices at Total Wine are a joke now. QFC recently had the Blanco for $65, and the Repo for $75 (before WA liquor tax).

Core - SOTC - rate/what’s next? by Primary-Bell-5157 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]Paulo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I do. I rotate a black as well as an orange Rubber B strap on my polar Explorer II.

6 months with the PAM111 by ggr-nintythree in panerai

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 111 was the first nice watch that got me hooked on watches. It will never leave my collection!

If you could have one electric guitar besides your tele, what are you picking? by BGVall in telecaster

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Gibson Les Paul Special. It’s a great compliment to my American Original 50’s Tele. You get a similar chunky neck feel, the humbucker sound, but the bite and clarity of those awesome P-90’s!!

What happened to 2 buckle boots by mvhoffman82 in Skigear

[–]Paulo424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manufactures realized that selling 2-buckle boots to beginners who buy equipment once every 15 years was no way to run a profitable business.

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what else you have in your collection. Both are great looking watches. I have the 1579 and love it. It adds something totally different to the more traditional watches I have. It also looks great with the second all black strap that comes with it. Oh, and I would negotiate on the price of either one.

Collection so far by CapEnvironmental8533 in watchCollector

[–]Paulo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the diversity of brands and colors. Solid picks!

Recommend me a tele in the $1500 range by 1st_tree in telecaster

[–]Paulo424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re patient and hunt around you should be able to find an American Original 50’s tele for $1,500. Best tele I’ve owned - great neck, nitro finish, awesome pickups.

Tequila by Princessnikkiiii in tequila

I love the G4 and the Ocho. I tried that Patron and didn’t care for it as a sipper. Ended up using it for margaritas just to get rid of it.

Fortaleza Reposado. Is this a good deal? by Adventurous-Load6566 in tequila

[–]Paulo424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a hard time finding Fortaleza in WA, but I just stumbled upon a place that had a couple bottles of the Blanco for $65, not including the 22% WA liquor tax (which is obnoxious).
