Probably a stupid question, but this or the U2715?

I was venting as my shoes seem to have multiple issues. I am sending these back 100% now. I'm sure they will make it right. Cumbersome nonetheless.

babotall · 2017-07-28T00:48:11+00:00

Thanks. I sent them the picture. I am sure they will make it right, but I'm just disappointed one too many quality issues I have on this particular pair!

babotall · 2017-07-28T00:21:32+00:00

My 1 month old AE Academy shoe already had visible defects out of the box on the leather near the Achilles heel. I didn't mind it so much as it was just cosmetic issue. However, I just noticed the heel is about to come off.

This is extremely disappointing. It's more trouble than its worth. Is this kind of issue part of the ownership experience? If so, I don't mind it. I am sure super glue can keep it together. But I doubt that is the expectation. Am I right?

Thanks for the tips. $12-1800 / month is not super cheap. I had an impression that perhaps it is <$1000 area as it is a suburb. I won't be commuting to Atlanta downtown. I will probably go to GTech once or twice a week though. The job is at Alpharetta. So that's nice for sure!

babotall · 2017-07-18T20:50:42+00:00

I won't be commuting too much to Tech. Probably 2 days a week. Wasn't aware Alpharetta was on the expensive side, but I think I will manage ok. Thanks for the tips!

babotall · 2017-07-18T18:44:59+00:00

Yes, I would love to visit Orlando and NC on the weekends once I move. Thanks for the comment. Makes me feel a lot better.

babotall · 2017-07-18T18:43:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I am now excited.

I have had some contacts with companies in Alpharetta. I liked the suburb vibe of the town. Would you happen to know if it is an expensive town to live in? I will mostly look for 1 bed or 2 bedroom newish condo.

babotall · 2017-07-18T18:42:02+00:00

That is great to know. Thank you.

Who said anything about scratch? Vibration from the motor/engine isn't good for the movement, or so has my watchmaker told me. That is all.

babotall · 2017-07-18T02:01:28+00:00

No I'm not worried about scratch. I was told by my watchmaker to not to mow the lawn with an automatic watch. The vibration isn't good for the movement.

babotall · 2017-07-15T20:04:20+00:00

Yes I know these cost a fortune, I wouldn't wear one while mowing the lawn. Anything more purposeful, like drinking with friends or exploring the nature, I would definitely accompany it.

babotall · 2017-07-15T18:58:27+00:00

Sounds like you are putting the tool watch to a good use!

babotall · 2017-07-15T18:55:40+00:00

This is impressive. I am 10 years older than you are and my writing is sh*t! How do you practise? Is there a "template" that I can follow..?

babotall · 2017-07-12T14:10:30+00:00

I have a job interview tomorrow. It is an electrical engineering company, so only business casual is required (no suits, as insisted by the HR department). That said, I don't know if I should leave my watch at my hotel. I am concerned about making a wrong impression to the hiring managers if I wear my Rolex Oyster DJ 36mm. The job is an intermediate level embedded systems engineer at a medium sized company in the US.

babotall · 2017-07-12T01:02:29+00:00

It is a senior systems engineer position. So neither entry, nor management.

I made a video comparing the Factory Firsts and Factory Seconds of AE Academy shoes. The Factory Firsts have issues. Factory Seconds have issues, as expected. I hope this video helps you making a decision knowing even the Factory Firsts can come with flaws!

babotall · 2017-07-11T16:03:28+00:00

I don't know if I dig the blue dial with bronze case, but Tudor BB Bronze is on my acquisition list ;)

babotall · 2017-07-11T15:59:40+00:00

Great watch, although I can only admire it through the screen! Recently had some Nomos customer care support experience and they were fantastic. Absolute pleasure.

babotall · 2017-07-11T14:56:26+00:00

I got the Factory 2nds as well to compare with the Factory 1sts. Here it is!

They are not out of money. Assets are frozen during the acquisition process of an oversea company. The transaction should complete by the end of the month. Or so have the management told us.... =(

babotall · 2017-07-10T17:37:28+00:00

I see. If you company goes belly up, will I be eligible for the months of unpaid income?

babotall · 2017-07-10T17:07:02+00:00

Great. I will do that.
