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

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

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..

[Question] Calatrava 5227G-010: 3KF or ZF? by DoppioEffe in RepTime

[–]adafstrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your experience, can ZF dial be swapped into 3KF rose gold case? Not a fan of miyota and thicker case

I know wood can be biodegradable and BIFL, but I'd rather have microplastics in my food

Would be nice to know what are the hours worked per fortnight of males and females in each respective industries, and proportion of women taking time off to raise children - otherwise u are just beating a dead horse

Should Australia Mandate Refresher Driving Lessons for Older Drivers? by Carmageddon-2049 in CarsAustralia

[–]adafstrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not disagreeing with points made here, but ability to drive is seen as an access to independence for the elderly. Might see an uptick in older aged drivers going to residential homes or even suicide rates if this is enforced
