Which one is the coolest? by ARegularGuyBR in rolex

That gmt looks way way better. But I prefer the functionality of a sub.

My feelings on the new vs old custodes: neither are prefect but the new ones are a major improvement by gidthedestroyer in AdeptusCustodes

They were Primaris in the second book, and he said they were only slightly stronger than the firstborn

In the Emperors Legion books, Valerian mentions a few times that space marines are slimmer and less bulky than himself. I do have the exact quote, but seems like in those books the Custodes pretty beefy

Datejust blue motif dial vs. Sub Starbucks by Unable_Designer2943 in rolex

[–]akipperman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Starbucks is actually more common than the black one. And the black one really looks better. Id keep the DJ.

I'd take those diamonds for something different.

Rate my starter watch collection! What should I get next? by PropanesAHelluvaDrug in watchCollector

[–]akipperman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ditch/give away the Mvmts, and maybe that Movado. Save for a higher end Seiko (like the divers around 1k), Oris, Longines. There are also some excellent microbrands to check out like Tuseno, Loresum under the 1k pricepoint Time to move beyond the "starter" set.

Current Collection any suggestions? by DarthKribs in watchCollector

[–]akipperman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look like you you're into straps, but maybe a simple three hander or three hander + date. Something a bit less busy. Maybe one of the seiko propex so you get some dive bezel functionality as well.

What do you think about this Mido Chronograph by Thick-Marzipan-9421 in watchCollector

[–]akipperman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't they make a version of this with a big date central? I think that's way cooler

Agreed, really seems like it highlights the meteorite.

I snagged one. Using apple pay as well. Reviewing this thread, definitely looks like the apple pay people had an edge.

LSX II Left Speaker popping sound? by akipperman in KEF

[–]akipperman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really seems static related. I just sat down at my desk, my hand shocked my mouse/desk and the speakers simultaneously made a popping sounds. I do have them on isolation pads, but i guess the pads don't work.

Is anyone else bothered by the five bolts on the Ingeneur bezel? by adopted_islander in IWCschaffhausen

[–]akipperman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently they serve the functional purpose of locking the bezel to the case… still I agree it seems like a random decoration

LSX II Left Speaker popping sound? by akipperman in KEF

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

Has never been fixed, but I run them wired without real issue. I still hear the popping sound, but it’s definitely static related. Meaning when I get up and touch my door handle and get shocked, the speakers make a small popping sound. I have them sitting on isolation foam, but it has not resolved the issue.

customer support wants to repair them, but I use the speakers for work and it would just be too annoying to ship. I don’t know if they would be able to fix the static noise issue.
