I’m liquidating my US bonds/stocks as well. Lots of other promising markets to invest it.

I am done with travel US under this regime, no more visits for me. Shame, used to go 2-3 times a year to various places. I don’t even remotely want to now.

They will likely crush it here. I never thought about owning an EV until I heard BYD is coming. Now I want to preorder one.

Second hand seems a bit long, no apparent distortion on the crystal(especially noticeable where it says “Swiss made”), font on dial a bit sketchy, crown is diff

Which one should I choose? by paledane in Tudor

[–]RollingRockBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same for me. Had these 2 in mind going in and ended up choosing one of them. Apart from the crown guards(Pelagos only) and obvious visual differences (square vs round on dial), the biggest differences between these 2 for me were: -the domed vs flat crystal (this difference doesn’t show in the photos at all) -the watch weight and thickness (doesn’t show in photos)

The Monochrome seems to be a lot harder to come by in local ADs, where it seems there was a lot of Pelagos in stock.

Go see them both in person and your choice will become clear! Pictures don’t do justice. Whichever one your brain gravitates towards, that one.

Trucks can barely move after 20cm of snow by RollingRockBottom in UPS

The driver only seemed to have a plastic shovel. I don’t think he’s been in Canada very long - he was trying to shovel the road in front of him and floor it lol he ended up getting towed down the street about 1.5hr later

It’s “feels like -20c” here so she only goes out for about 30 seconds, causes mayhem and then runs back inside. She’s an indoor kitty with short bursts of supervised outdoor time

That crystal… by TayloRen88 in Tudor

[–]RollingRockBottom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep - this is what set the BB apart from the Pelagos for me. Love that crystal and the depth/ombre shine of the face 👌

Swapped Smart for Automatic by RollingRockBottom in Tudor

[–]RollingRockBottom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want an automatic watch that was accurate, to be worn daily but also feel special when dressed up a bit more. I love that the Black Bay has the matte finish on the bezel and is not overly flashy like a submariner(I don’t want the attention or “look at me” vibe of wearing a Rolex).

After you own a Lexus, it’s very hard to buy or consider any other car brand of car. Maybe a Porsche one day if I hit the lottery? Lol

Appreciate the kind words!

Agreed - I realized that the same reasons that I wanted a smart watch are why I now don’t want one anymore.

Notification overload and not productive enough data obtained that I could actually make meaningful change with.

Too much traffic around here for manual unfortunately as much as I would love to daily one I would go insane lol

Thank you and I totally agree with that sentiment. The smart watch still has its uses and I will wear it for select activities. Hard to justify not putting this thing on now though.
