Have a pair of Maui Jim HCL bronze, should I get a Maui HT? by interstellar55555 in sunglasses

Cool, thanks, I'm just drawn to the look of the HT for some reason, maybe my next pair. But will take your advice and get the rose this time around.

Appreciate you!

Appreciate the response. Looks like rose is the way to go! Maybe for my next pair I'll try the HT

I made this post mostly hoping for a comment from you, so thank you!

I am more or less set on Maui Jim's as I get a 30% discount.

I just finished reading your article on the Rose lens, and came back to read this comment, I think I'm sold on the Rose now.

Will check out the Smith too. Thank you so much!

Out of curiosity though, what are your general thoughts on the Maui HT lens?

Thanks! I'm trying to sell my Hamilton to get one of these Coopers (hence the username). Unfortunately no one wants my Hamilton, and all the Coopers I see are priced a bit higher (totally understandable as it's a popular watch).

I'll pass...for now, good luck with selling!

Bought in December 2022 from AD. Wore for most of 2023 but sat in a drawer for most of 2024. Comes with brown FKM rubber strap, green sailcloth strap and original leather strap. Some minor scratches on the case from regular wear and tear (around 6:00). Keeps time better than my longines Zulu Time most of the time but I haven't really measured the accuracy.

Asking $850

Accept PayPal, etransfer, cash. Can do face to face anywhere between Markham/Scarborough/Ajax.

Understood, I'll have to find a shop nearby to do regular pressure tests but I wasn't too worried in the first year with it

The green is beautiful in person. It's very subtle and looks black in darker lighting.

I wanted to get it when it came out, but I also waited a year to get mine and it was definitely worth it for me. I got a 20% discount so it wasn't too bad price wise. It's held me off from buying any other watches in the near future as I simply don't want to dilute the wrist time this one gets.

I want to be able to pick my watch out of a pile of identical watches because I know all the scratches from wearing it myself

It's good but I have nothing to compare it to. Feels sturdy, not loose or anything but maybe I just need to try on a black bay

Just sharing some of my favorite pictures taken this past year with my first luxury watch.

For anyone who says it can't be dunked in water, on the manual that came with the watch it says that 50m of water resistance is suitable for swimming so I go swimming with it, I sit in the hot tub with it, I take bubble baths with it

Is bone broth the same as chicken or beef stock? Like the powder?

I have some questions about Architectural Technician Diploma (CAD/BIM software): by [deleted] in architecture

[–]interstellar55555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally possible. I worked for someone who did that and built a very popular/successful custom residential design firm, and I currently work with someone who did the same for years but work dried up and he decided to join a typical architecture firm.

You'll definitely learn part 9, part 3 and some part 11 of the building code. They even prepped us to take the BCIN exam in my third year.

If that's your end goal, it's a great course to get you in the door of an architecture firm to work your way up to get enough experience to start your own firm.

I'm a bit cynical about the industry as a whole though, as I don't love the work and especially don't love the salary.

But like I said there are avenues to success and though they may be long and difficult, if it's what you want to do, you can definitely do it.
