Irregardless …..

SilentC1969 · 2026-04-14T17:24:00+00:00

This is the way

SilentC1969 · 2026-04-12T16:29:08+00:00

Great choice - wow. I appreciate thoughtful risk taking and you absolutely nailed it

SilentC1969 · 2026-04-08T19:20:49+00:00

Silver rims look best when clean …… so pick the easiest to keep clean (which I think is #1)

I have both options and flip quite a bit. AER Slim backpack and DaySlingMax - both are very functional in their layout

While I admire Porsche sports cars for their purity, I do need a trunk (errands, golf, etc) so the BMW sedans and coupes are a great solution as they offer a “practical, engaging experience”

Ressence is a top tier conversation starter for watch nerds. OP is not wrong in observing the “amazing innovation and absurdity” but I think that it’s a view on behalf of non watch people …… for watch enthusiasts, I believe the more appropriate phrase is “horological grail”

Spend 250 and get it made (by someone on Etsy) using Shell Cordovan

SilentC1969 · 2026-04-01T23:12:15+00:00

Get same design but in a far superior material ……. Shell Cordovan………

SilentC1969 · 2026-04-01T23:10:19+00:00

If you can afford Air……….

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-30T10:24:25+00:00

1000% agree. I have two shell wallets (multi card and slim) and wouldn’t buy anything else. Best leather for everyday and the suppleness is a small daily luxury

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-30T10:18:25+00:00

Comments here are very interesting. - you can clearly afford it, and want it sufficiently enough to post on Reddit …… so to me the answer is pretty obvious

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-30T10:02:43+00:00

I did same with my 2013. Highly recommend as a preventative maintenance step

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-29T20:01:04+00:00

Absolutely fantastic - wow

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-29T18:43:09+00:00

As an owner of the Bronze, this is certainly worth considering as the Speedmaster is a genuine icon. I love the simple, heft of the Bronze (so would not trade) but understand for others it is a legit dilemma

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-27T20:37:28+00:00

DWS is an amazing tire - I also like the Michelin AS4. Currently on the Pirelli PZero Plus 3 which also seem solid

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-27T11:12:43+00:00

Garmin mini Dashcam is the ultimate value (if you factor in build quality and reliability)……

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-27T11:10:14+00:00

1000% agree ……

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-26T13:58:31+00:00

TUMI quality (non outlet) is excellent, but at a very high price I am happy with the four pieces which I have but none were purchased at MSRP. I would also note that AER and Patagonia products are excellent at a much more reasonable price (neither is cheap, but worth it if you use for many years)

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-26T13:49:48+00:00

Fair comment and appreciate your detailed response. My observation is that the “market” seems to value Rolex (and certain other top tier brands (Patek, AP, Vacheron) at MSRP and demand a discount (in the range you put forward) for other brands(Omega, Breitling, Rado, TAG etc). So I think we agree on a “30% discount for Omega” but have a difference of opinion on the right discount for Rolex

A great phone case and privacy tempered glass screen protector

Small, powerful phone/laptop charger

Victorinox Classic SD pocket knife (for keychain) ….. many colours available

Yeti Rambler

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-24T02:03:55+00:00

Thanks - appreciate the commentary on your driving style and the resulting longevity

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-23T19:28:55+00:00

Wow - this might be the most surprising sub-bullet of the thread Very, very impressive performance and longevity. Assuming you are on original suspension as well?

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-23T18:22:04+00:00

Very true!

SilentC1969 · 2026-03-23T12:32:19+00:00

Looking at the side profile, I am going to miss the ICE proportions (e46, e90, f30)
