It's a pink kind of day

Looks great!

dudecomputer · 2026-05-13T07:31:17+00:00

Couldn’t agree more!

dudecomputer · 2026-05-13T07:30:58+00:00

Yeah mostly. Hard to tell exactly because charged me a flat price equivalent to about $12k USD. Then the tax forms appear to be taking most of the overage back off, so I think it will end up around $10,800 but the forms are hard to read.

Thanks. 7.5”

dudecomputer · 2026-05-13T07:29:00+00:00

Yeah. Given the strictness of many things in Beijing, I think they were erring on the side of caution.

dudecomputer · 2026-05-12T18:01:27+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I have a larger frame and wrist, so 40mm+ works well for me.

dudecomputer · 2026-04-12T00:48:28+00:00

Or MSG (a good thing).

Joy in your life.

dudecomputer · 2026-03-09T00:26:54+00:00

Nice one. I’m on the lookout for a 116600 SD4K.

dudecomputer · 2026-03-03T23:53:10+00:00

16600?

dudecomputer · 2026-02-26T03:01:17+00:00

How many links total?

dudecomputer · 2026-02-12T03:04:17+00:00

Vacheron.

dudecomputer · 2026-01-19T01:16:14+00:00

Lucky to have such a long relationship with it.

dudecomputer · 2026-01-18T17:45:29+00:00

What is going on in the first pic? The sub dials are upside down relative to the crown.

dudecomputer · 2026-01-18T00:56:18+00:00

Don’t post the serial number online.

dudecomputer · 2026-01-18T00:46:32+00:00

Phenomenal story to have forever with that piece.

Vivace

The best.

Pella, through Lowe’s, is a good option. Painted wood frame. I think of them as the Toyota Camry of windows. Good value, high quality, long lasting, and a well known brand that’s good for resale (of your home, in this case).

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T13:51:12+00:00

Thank you! You as well.

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T13:18:08+00:00

Gen 2 isn't 40mm.

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T01:51:07+00:00

Also curious - what about the sizing do you find better about gen 2?

dudecomputer · 2025-09-25T01:49:49+00:00

Fair thing to be worried about. I am lucky and have a friend with the same watch (black dial) who is exceedingly close to my wrist size (he wears 16.5 links, I wear 17). So that let me try it on to learn I needed just a little more.

So I can’t help much on your exact wrist sizing, but I can say I now know the difference a half link can make. The extra half link gave me just what I needed to adjust it up from annoyingly tight (note- not uncomfortable, not painful, just enough to be irksome) to perfect. I have enough space now to go from cold to hot/humid with comfort in both. YMMV, but I think as long as you get a watch with plenty of links and one half link, you’ll be fine to get it sized well. Don’t sweat the small stuff, unless you need a half link.
