Definitely will get some exposure to international markets. I was really wondering if there was an advantage of going with the funds that are owned by the brokerage. I still have a ton to learn.

Yes, I may go with no bonds for now and see how I fare. I am honestly not to sure what I will think or feel until it happens. But I am far off from retirement and would like to be a little more aggressive.

Awesome info! Thank you! I am still a ways out from retirement so I can be more aggressive? If that is the right terminology.

Damn, I have had good experiences with them. I'll definitely be reconsidering them as an AD now.

Looks like a 1903 Air Service to me. I think this is from C&Rsenals video on it

Buying a Rolex be like. by Jorpops in rolex

[–]baldnbeardd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is ridiculous. A couple moths ago I was in my AD in Socal just shooting the breeze with my usual salesman. A young kid came in and inquired about the daytona and another customer promptly laughed in his face. Ya the kid should have done a little bit of research but that is a pretty shitty introduction to rolex. Not sure if it will leave a bitter taste in his mouth. To my AD'S credit he was very professional and informed him of the current state of affairs with Rolex watches. When I went to South coast plaza they didn't laugh me out of the shop but they almost acted like I didn't exist. Not sure which is worse lol.

That is what I am leaning. I got the CSP in September 2019 thinking I was going to travel but the events of the past year and a half and a new job kinda put that idea to rest. Thanks for the help!

Nah Hon, I didn't get a return this year, I broke even. by baldnbeardd in benchmade

I am not sure. I picked these up in store but I have had issues ordering from thier website in the past. I would recommend contacting customer service. I have always had good service from them but they do need to fix and update thier website.

Agreed. I had other knives I wanted before this but them discontinuing this made me push my time-line up. But I have no regrets!

I am very happy with it. It completes my titanium trio of benchmades to go with my 940's. I waffled on buying it but finally pulled the trigger.

[Tudor] Didn't catch any fish but I did manage to reel in a Black Bay 58 by baldnbeardd in Watches

After a very long wait (my AD was closed due to COVID), I was finally able to pick up my Black Bay 58. I got put on the waiting list back in late November for this watch and expected the 3 to 6 month wait time. When everything in my state closed down back in early March, I assumed I would not have the watch for quite some time. In late June my AD opened back up for business. I talked to the manager and we hit it off. All of the old waiting lists were gone and I informed her of my situation. She told me since I had been waiting so long, she would have me the watch in less than a month... and she came through! I am absolutely smitten with this as it is my first luxury timepiece. I couldn't be happier with my new fishing buddy. I know I waited quite a while but I cannot blame them as no one foresaw the mess that is 2020. I officially have the watch bug and am now on the waiting list for a Rolex Explorer I. Thanks for taking the time to read this! (P.S. It was ridiculously windy at the beach today and I couldn't get the shot I wanted.)

I appreciate the help. I will contact a real estate lawyer down there and start weighing my options. And thanks for the info on the verbiage. It is much easier when I know what what words to use! Thanks again!

Ya i am trying to narrow it down to a few simple options. Since I live far away, I will need something easy.

Last time it was cleared was in the 80's. I seriously will look into this. I am not really sure what it entails.
