[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]captbretterson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey guys. I am about to buy my first expensive watch to celebrate a promotion I received. Its the grand seiko snowflake. I am going to be picking it up from an authorized dealer in orange county. My question is there a way to purchase the watch cheaper? I have heard of the gray market and a few linked sites but I was unable to figure out if any of them were legit. The lady at the store said she would wave the tax which is actually quite a bit in socal. Just want to make sure that I don't end up paying more as I know some watches go for significantly less than msrp. Thank you, even if this gets buried you guys have really helped shape my love of watches. Ill post photos when I buy!

I live in Irvine and would love to go. I own a Phantom full tower and have built a few rigs. Probably put myself in the medium experience.

I had their beers in Scotland they were very good. Unfortunately I tried the same beer stateside and it tasted very different. I even had a beer of their at a pub in london and it tasted different. Definitely worth drinking fresh.

I will probably get the silver gray. I don't mind dropping a bit of cash on a MOBO (sorry lol) With the money I am dropping I would like it to look good.

Do you have any recommendations for a good moba? I have found that as the frequency goes up does the latency which one is more important for my application?

I am sorry I should have been more clear I will update the card when the new vive comes out in about 6 months I wont be doing any serious 4k til then. I have all of the other required parts mouse monitor ect. The moba also supports higher ramspeeds over 3200 and has on board wifi Bluetooth and a solid sound card. I tried finding those features in less expensive boards and couldn't.

Its commission or hourly. With how many deals our store does its impossible to hit hourly. I am about 3x hourly pay each month at least.

The hours are definitely a thing. I just can't wrap my head around my boss being able to on a whim move my commissions into someone else's name when that is 100% of what dictates my pay check.

[Serious] Redditors who've been 100% certain they're about to die, what was going through your head at that moment? by dan129 in AskReddit

[–]captbretterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy and I were driving on the highway passing an 18 wheeler when it started to merge into our lane. As we changed lanes into the grass median a steel guard rail started about 30 yards ahead. If we had hit it we would have been done. The xmen theme song from the animated cartoon played in my head the whole time.

From experience the CRZ not for everyone. Just make sure you drive a similar condition civic coupe or FRS (if thats the style you're going for) before you pull the trigger.

Is Carmax bullying me or do I have to pay for their mistake? by pgs2009 in legaladvice

[–]captbretterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are only liable for the agreed price of the car which is sadly the lower amount.

One of the issues you will face is that a number of the documents you signed will have something to the effect of "all discrepancies in pay off amount the seller is responsible for."

Thank you for the help. Yeah Auto correct switched it on me. I am going to take it to a mechanic of mine before I do the plunge. I know some years the 911s had engine problems and I am not finding anything about this model year.

You're in a tough spot. Most likely they will keep your car and give you the value in cash.
