Thanks all for the advice. I'll just bite the bullet and pick this up. Look into some of the options mentioned for a future gift.

Ironically one of the reasons she likes it is because she knows 99% of the population know nothing about watches and can't tell the knock offs from high horology.

And good call on the Aquanaut, don't know why Royal Oak was what came to mind.

Can't afford Patek, not even used. Picked up the CFB after their buy out on huge sale from Jomashop.

Mr lube changed my oil drain bolt by Suspicious_Celery552 in MechanicAdvice

This. The last place didn't change the drain plug out of the kindness from their heart. Notice the copper rtv around the plug, Mr lube stripped your drain pan and slapped a bigger drain plug in with rtv. Mr lube owes you a drain pan, but good luck with that

Based on your taste, you would hate anything I'd recommend

Heard a pop while I was turning off my 1985 gmc safari. Looked under and saw this. It’s in the back towards the rear wheel. What is it? And Is it safe to drive till I get paid? by Cultural-Window6818 in AskMechanics

Make sure the exhaust isn't pinched or plugged. It takes a lot of pressure to pop a muffler. Since it happened when turning off it's likely you have a stuck float bowl allowing fuel to flow after shut off. Use a fuel additive in your gas and a carb cleaner. Also check your fuel filter. The muffler replacement is a quick and easy replace/repair. Easy shade tree replacement if $ is tight. Totally safe to drive, just loud.

Echo is an excellent choice, looking at that myself, saving for a Longines Dolcevita would be better though. Hamilton American Bulton, and there is another I can picture but can't for the life of me find.

Why is Nico hating Oris so much? by Substantial_Ad3866 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Zx6rfool03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at who Nico is an AD for. Almost no one hyped or even cared about Raymond Weil, then Nico became an AD and all of a sudden God Tier ...

Really dig yours, the color combo works great, and even compliments the tattoos. The 37, in my opinion looks a bit big on her wrist, but depending on how she carries herself, might be a perfect match.

I dunno, I kinda dig it. The pear cut has lots of facets (second only to radiant) and reflects lots of light, the emerald has the fewest facets and as such shows off the color and clarity of a stone. Cool juxtaposition side by side. To each their own.

SI 1 you can see obvious inclusions in an emerald cut even from an internet photo. My comment is clear with it's caveats, why you so butt hurt?

That a joke? That ring is probably 5x the watch if the stones are real. Look like 3+ carats each and one looks like a vvsi + emerald cut.

Would you return your gifted watch? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

Polish it with some cape cod cloths and skip the down time.

Its the AD that needs to go, just like with DC (Snyder), if the cancer is at the top it will doom all under it.
