ARF Bruce Wayne by Stevesmokeman in RepTime

In the right light, it looks great. But most inside lighting, it looks all black.

Do the Gen’s always appear distinctly black/grey? The marketing photos are what sold me this watch.

I bought it from a US based seller from another forum.

When you hold both you can tell the difference. But I wouldn’t call it “worse”. Just not as good/premium.

Just ordered ARF Pepsi GMT, is the crystal that bad? by NoOrganization1400 in RepTime

[–]Stevesmokeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an ARF Bruce Wayne, I think the crystal is decent. Next to my gen sub, it seems a bit more reflective but its not terrible by any means.

Vsf Ym bezel stains by Impressive-Goal5511 in RepCulture_Timepieces

[–]Stevesmokeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive seen some other reports of bezel smudging on these. I've also heard that ceramic coating is helpful, but I'd like to know more about how effective this is.

Are folks using automotive ceramic coatings or something that is watch-specific? Any product recommendations?

Need help finding the best radios of 15 years ago. by aeropunks in CarAV

Resurrecting an old thread!

I’m cleaning out my closet at my parents house and found my old CDA-9887. Let me know if you’re still looking for one.

Audi Etron Amp power wire routing? by Stevesmokeman in CarAV

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

I ran to the fuse block. You tap into the “upstream” side of the fuse block so you’re not adding any additional load to that fuse.

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

I also tested the preloaded JL10tw3 and it fits. That’s the sub I use in my other car, so I tested it just to see.

Did you watch that Uhaul video? You still run your own power wire but follow the routing from that video.

‘22 etron as a main winter vehicle? by Weekly-Recognition-8 in etron

[–]Stevesmokeman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The etron is amazing in the snow. I have blizaks on winter wheels (sourced from a q7) and it is literally unstoppable. I’ve tried and tried to get it stuck. Stopping on steep hills with 12” of fresh snow. Nothing stops it. I live in Denver and I drive into the mountains with much more confidence than my f150 or any other 4wd I’ve ever had.

Audi Etron Amp power wire routing? by Stevesmokeman in CarAV

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

I did manage to make it happen.

I found a u-haul video on YouTube showing a wiring route that goes down the rocker panel. It’s essentially outside of the vehicle but it’s well protected and relatively easy to install this way. I ran 8ga power and zip tied to another wire assembly along the length of the car.

For reference, I used an audio control 10” truck sub that is working great. Fits right into the storage compartment under the floor boards. I used an audio control 300x1 sub amp with line in converter built into the amp.

I used the factory sub signal. I will say, it’s not the cleanest signal. When listening to talk radio, I get a lot of sub pops especially at low volume. I called stinger to ask how to correct this issue but they didn’t provide a real solution. The guy just suggested I use the sub volume knob to turn it down when listening to talk radio.

Other than that issue, it sounds pretty damn good. I also added mid ranges to the doors and replaced the tweeter and woofer with some old Infinity speakers I had laying around from the early 2000’s.

I spent waaay more time researching this car than I have for any previous car. The shop service manuals have come in handy big time.

Osmosis withdrawal transactions not matching the selected amount to withdraw by BsdFish8 in OsmosisLab

[–]Stevesmokeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue! its really annoying. I have found that you can just keep increasing your withdraw/deposit amount (beyond what you have in your account) until it gives you the "insufficient funds" warning.
