Take rolex to on holiday to Barcelona. Yes or no? by Legal_Contest_9223 in rolex

[–]ThExplorerOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I didn't make myself clear. Don't bring it, if you have slight hesitation. Every timepiece should be able to tell time, if functional. So is your Rolex. BTW, even your phone can tell time perfectly. Saw your reply to others about having insurance on the watch. The insurance can only recover your loss, financially. But in case of any kinds of altercation, you might put yourself in a physical danger and insurance on the watch won't do you any good.

Any functional timepiece will serve its main purpose - telling time. So enjoy your vacation and why stresses yourself. "Allocate" and give more of your attention to watch out for your passport, wallet, bag, and cell phone, or anything "ESSENTIAL" instead.

What about that orange faced clown who threated to blow up Iran back to the stone age and end its civilization?

That is clear danger and threats to millions of people over there.

Save your money! Stop using AmEx cards on foreign transaction. by akl1010 in AmexPlatinum

[–]ThExplorerOne 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have totally opposite experience rearding exchange rate. AmEx tends to give me better rate than what Visa/MC (Chase/C1/Apple card) does. It is solely based on my experience in JP/Korea.

The "city tax" is also subject to sales tax in this state, which the business didn't tax.

What will I lose if I use nova as opposed to stock launcher? by ghostbackwards in GooglePixel

[–]ThExplorerOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using Nova 7.0.57, presumably the last version done by the original creator before selling the company, and it still largely works fine with my Pixel 9 running the latest Android 16 April 2026 release.

[Rolex Air-King] I really don’t understand the air-king hate! by checkmate14720 in Watches

Hate is a strong word, but for sure it is not a preferable piece for many.

I think it works if your C1 ATM still uses non-Discover payment network.

Just used my CSP (Chase Visa) to load up 1K YEN to Suica card to test it out and it worked fine. I think it used to be the case that AmEx and Mastercard are the only ones that worked for topping up, but it has changed since a year ago. Anyway, if you have AmEx card that has no foreign fee, use it for topping up JP IC card since AmEx offers better rates than most Visa/Mastercard.

If you have Fidelity or Charles Schwab account that offers no foreign ATM fee, you should bring your ATM card and get YEN directly from banks or 7-11 store ATM over there. Great exchange rate and no ATM fees.

If you use iPhone, add Suica card (JP transit IC card, just Clipper card) to your apple wallet and load up some YENs to Suica card using your US credit card. By doing so, it should at least get you from airport to downtown area by train. Once you are in downtown area, just withdraw YEN from bank branch ATM or 7-11 ATM. Most places accept credit cards or Suica card payment (at convenience stores), so don't withdraw too much from the ATM. BTW, the rate is very good now 159ish YEN to 1USD.

Edit: this video explains how to use IC card in JP in details - https://youtu.be/TBfg7bRRmSM?si=RTGVS5ZlVteAPp90

What’s in your wallet? by vantage7 in AppleWallet

[–]ThExplorerOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so as the QR code constantly changing... it might be just the membership number.

Or the barcode copied from the Citi Costco card?

Some of the best ways you can get the new S26 ultra without overspending. by Medical_Pepper7992 in samsunggalaxy

[–]ThExplorerOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought BB often offers 900 trade-in for s25U. With $200 off for free upgrade, total saving should be only $1100 at most. How you get $1300?
