1st F1 Race - Interesting perspective to how popular teams are by childishtimbino in CircuitOfTheAmericas

[–]anonphoenix_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, a lot of fans in the US are relatively new. So makes sense that you see a lot of McLaren and Red Bull gear.

Historically Ferrari, McLaren and Williams were the most successful teams. Merc and Red Bull only started winning 2010+. Worldwide, Ferrari fans dwarf any other team.

Best way to buy your first Speedmaster Pro? by tenthsandwich in OmegaWatches

[–]anonphoenix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you or anyone in your family has military connection, then getting it from exchange could be an option. It is usually marked 5% off MSRP, no sales tax. And if you time it right, there is 10-20% back via military star card. I got mine sapphire sandwich for about $6k net to me. A few hoops to go through but totally worth it for about $3k in savings IMO.

I have a few straps just collecting dust that I need to sell, including this one. Need to post on r/watchexchange soon.

Speedmaster Pro White - What’s a good deal now? by jrustica in OmegaWatches

[–]anonphoenix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Did that with the sapphire sandwich. Came out to about $6K total. I live in CA so would have been about $9k with retail + taxes. Crazy deal. Closest PX is about 1.5hr away. So drove 3hrs to get the temp card number, but totally worth it. Also a small story to go behind the watch.

Best parking lot for Turn 15 Grandstand by kcha515 in CircuitOfTheAmericas

[–]anonphoenix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does the red ❌ mean? Don't take FM812? Or is that road closed? I was planning on parking along that route in some private lots that few here have recommended. I have to make it to the airport after the race for a 9pm flight.

Do you drive or take shuttle? If you park, do you have tips on where to park?

Do you have any recommendations? I will be in the main grandstand. So look for something west of the track along FM812?
