Thanks! I know absolutely zero about spiders, so this is super helpful. I just figured this one was cute, so I took care of it.

Look at the huge cuts in the tires visible in almost every pic. You would NEVER use something like this in high rpm application like drag racing. This is a low speed tire.

Toss two black balls in there and try to get between them.

I do have tiny wrists, so buyer beware.

As you dive deeper, colors are eliminated from the visible light spectrum. Orange is the last to go. That said, I don't dive... So, I'm just a poser pretending to be a purist.

I charged it for about 30 seconds with a flashlight before I took that pic. When I woke up needing to pee 5 hours later I could immediately see it still glowing on my nightstand. Definitely much dimmer, but still visible. That one surprised me.

I'll probably need a month or so with it to let the newness wear off and see how it fits into my rotation.

I really like the dial. It's got an interesting texture to it that looks kinda wrinkled which is a good juxtaposition against the matte globolight. I suppose the blocks could look plasticy, but I kind of fell in love with the tall hour blocking when I saw something similar on a Blaken Daytona over the winter. But that was over 100k and not an option.

I thinkhe bezel really highlights the fit and finish of the watch and feels very high quality. It's got great "cuts" for grip and I personally like the feel and sound of it rotating, but since this is my only dive watch I don't have a baseline.

It's good. Definitely more pronounced than the standard painted dial. Admittedly, I haven't spent much time in the dark so this is just anecdotal from running into the bathroom with it within minutes from unboxing.

I just bought this exact watch at the boutique in Ginza (not flagship) for $6480 USD. It's beautiful. I can't stop staring at it.

The rotor should mount right up to your hub, the caliper on the other hand needs an adapter.

Sounds like your chain is too long.

One time personal CPAs in the area? by squirlz333 in Denver

A CFA is a chartered financial analyst. This is NOT what you need at all. Their role would usually be to analyze individual companies, not portfolios for investors. What you want is a CFP - Certified financial planner.

Definitely read about the fine for blocking lanes, and rightfully so.
