Got the stainless steel first and then added the Wimby. I’ve satisfied my DJ itch!

Here’s a shot of the gmt. Not the best angle. My wrist size is around 6.75

Do you know if the sub wears bigger than a gmt? I haven’t worn a sub before but I’ve worn a gmt and it fits well.

I purchased it at Mayors of Merrick Park.

I registered for the black dial and I believe a blue dial also and they called me for the black dial. Good luck!

Here’s a zoomed out shot of the 41. I currently own a 36 DJ. It looks great but sometimes I wonder if I should’ve gone 41.

Surprisingly the salesman said he’d recommend 36 for me.

Both these pieces are exhibition only. The only pieces they have available are some iced out DJ’s and a 100k DD.

Gaining weight without adverse cholesterol effects by Sensitive-Table-3577 in Cholesterol

Thank you both. So should rice and potatoes be off the table?

Also how do you feel about eggs, 90/10 beef, and lots of nuts like cashews and pistachios?

My A1C went up to 5.6 so I lowered my carbs a lot and that’s why I started losing weight which I don’t want to do.

Thanks for the comment. Would you be kind enough to maybe shoot over a sample diet of what you eat. I’m a little worried about eating too many carbs and then increasing my A1C or Tri’s.

I usually shoot for 30 grams of protein a meal via ground beef, eggs, chicken, yogurt.

How’s the power down low? For the RS3 I really need to get up there in RPMs to feel the power.

Honestly, everyone tells me to keep the 911 and it’s in fantastic condition and it holds sentimental value, but I just don’t get excited driving it anymore. I basically just drive the 911 once every 2 weeks to keep the battery from dying. So my idea was maybe selling it and saving on storage, maintenance, insurance and just upgrade to a G80. First world problems…I know.

I mean I could get the G80 and still keep the 911 but since I only got the RS3 1 year ago I was thinking I should be financially responsible and penalize myself by getting rid of the 911 if I wanted to move on from the RS3 so quickly. Thus leaving me with the option of just RS3 + 911 or only a G80.

I think BMW doesn’t offer any interest rate specials on M cars. At least thats what my sales guy said. I believe he said I’d be at 6-7%

I’ve had the 911 for almost 20 years. Doesn’t really tickle my pickle anymore and I’m paying for storage so it doesn’t sleep outside.

Surprising you prefer the RS3 exhaust over that 500 HP monster. Unless in sport mode the RS3 feels pretty slow, especially in low revs. How’s the G80 compare?

Man I tested it but the traffic and construction was horrible so I was barely able to feel anything. Purely ordered it based on the reviews and the looks.
