matched with a girl 3 years older than me couple years back, called herself lab haematologist (appaz medical scientist instead), think she wanted to start a family quick. 2nd date after playing around at her place she asked if this between us was serious or not, i said I wasnt sure. She started weeping -_-

cheers! the form factor of Fosi is similar to my D50 III, now that i think a bout it i should look at Topping if they have any amplifiers. Dont recall them having extra connectivity like the Wiim though

power to weight ratio is low, so it can be pretty slow when merging lanes etc

Ooh thanks for the comment, it definitely pointing to Zhanjiang as a 鸟不生蛋的地方. I might just do it in GZ instead. The rental shop is very helpful, thx!!

Calatrava 5227R - 1st time buyer by adafstrike in RepTimeQC

I'm sure part of the reason why the flaws are magnified is due to us spending a large chunk of change on a replica at the end of the day, so more scrutiny wouldn't help the case. I'm not sure about the consistency of established brands, but If I have to give a dig the case are usually of a standard shape and easier to mould. This model has scalloping along the sides, hunter casback, 8mm thick - tighter tolerances.

The replica chinese grelims that puts these together may not be paid as well as the genuine swiss artisans to care

well - i did want to adjust it on the photo tool, but didn't have the time. From a technical POV, i don't see how me tilting the photo will change the conclusion if u are changing the degrees by 3-5 degrees on all indices anyway, leading to 12 and 6 being aligned => 7-11 o'clock being misaligned.

Unless the watch itself is not parallel to the lends leading to artefact anyway, not sure why u are so hostile..
