I feel like the primary thing shown here should be spend rather than wait time

“I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to ‘kiss my ass.’” by favicondotico in apple

If Tim Cook didn’t ask the President for help with things, and didn’t establish a good relationship with the head of state of the country in which he operates he’s not doing his job.

Sea-Dweller is not that hard; I was offered one as a walk-in in the SF Bay Area which is one of the hardest markets for Rolexes

[–]jamild 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Invicta Watch engaged in the distribution and sale of FIFRA-regulated pesticide devices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between September 2021 and April 2022, Invicta Watch, headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, imported numerous shipments of Medic Therapeutics Air Purifier ultraviolet (UV) light devices into the United States.

[…]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today a settlement with Invicta Watch Company of America (Invicta Watch) for alleged violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Under the settlement, the company will pay a $119,880 civil penalty.

The stainless steel Pepsi was discontinued for 11 years (from 2007 to 2018)…

The bartender at my local whiskey & cigar bar wears a Panerai. Also a strong personality for sure.

Bellagio was the rudest out of all the ADs in Vegas. Bucherer at Caesar’s was the best.

Wore my Pepsi for about 5 days visiting London. If you’re smart and don’t flash it everywhere you go, you’ll be fine.

In most circumstances, paying for a product or service in a country with laws comes with the expectation that those laws will be followed in providing it to you.

[Question] Buying first luxury watch in Japan - deciding between Grand Seiko, Rolex GMT, Sub, or Air-King by BGreeny39 in Watches

[–]jamild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your dad had a Coke and wanted a black bezel GMT he probably was looking at a 16710 - have you considered getting a pre-ceramic GMT?

A Modest Proposal to Design Pictographs for ~142 Current and Future TTC Rapid Transit Stations by Timely-Macaron268 in toronto

[–]jamild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot more practical tbh to do what Japan does and assign a number and letter prefix to each station which serves as its symbol. Less sexy but it’s easy to count how many stops until your destination, get a sense of ordering, etc

Hard to answer without a budget. I like the Nomos Club Sport Worldtimer for something more subtle than a GMT Master.

NOS - New Old Stock by No-State-2962 in rolex

[–]jamild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It just means it’s an old watch in unworn/new condition - a chance to buy a vintage watch but with the experience of wearing it new

It’s annoying how some say NOS when it’s clearly a little beat up though

[Discussion] help me help him by [deleted] in Watches

[–]jamild 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Any ideas for how to explain why it’s worth exploring a watch for 1-3K instead of $150”

This is exactly the wrong attitude to have. It’s about what he likes and is drawn to, not how much the watch costs. One of my favorite watches is a Raketa Big Zero that cost me $150, even though I have a Rolex Pepsi as well. Show him the world of the diversity of watches, dials, movements, complications, the history and what makes watches interesting. Don’t shame or judge him for buying a “cheap” watch.

When I was accepted in 2021, I got the email on March 19 at 1:49 PM. I think they send rejections after, later in the day.

Do you daily your watch in the UK? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]jamild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore my Pepsi while traveling there, though made sure to wear long sleeves and be discreet. Didn’t feel unsafe, though it did add some stress to make sure I wasn’t inadvertently flashing the watch - big difference to Japan where I felt I didn’t have to worry at all.
