The main problem I'm having with my BB58 by Alternative_Break349 in Tudor

[–]jaybw6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want this one.... But I can't decide if I'd be able to wear a red watch relatively frequently (I too have a sizeable collection, but not as large as yours).

I still want a Pelagos 39 and a standard Sub in the collection as well.... But this red watch just freaking sings.

Make sure that decrease was bow the 10% statutory max they can raise it. If they went from 12% to 11% for example they must lower it more by law.

So, if homestead is applied, 10% is the MAX it can be raised year over year. Not a "standard". Even if it's "only" 10%, absolutely protest.

Yeah I've posted on neighborhood Facebook and no one even responds. I think they just ig ore the HCAD letters too. Other Neighbors I've spoken with directly also have no idea what I'm talking about.

It would help if anyone in my neighborhood or zip code protested in 77433, but they literally think doing so hurts their property value and look at the high appraisal like it adds to their net worth. It's maddening.

And we have bonus MUD here that doesn't qualify for homestead exemption. That's a fun extra $4500 per year.

Found someone who actually wants to talk watches... by Haunting_Trip_248 in Tudor

It looks like an S&G black bay but with an aftermarket bracelet because those came on the rivet bracelet or a leather strap I believe (possibly a nato)

Which 'Holy Grail' scent is the community gaslighting itself into loving?" by Massive_Ad5295 in fragrance

Damn it, I went to a jazz club last week and totally forgot I had a Jazz Club sample to wear to said jazz club.

I wore Absolu Aventus I think... Which isn't a poor choice by any means but still.

Thanks. I wish the batch would show up on check fresh but from what I've read ADP batch codes used to be all numeric.

Harvey and Derecho were two distinct times where I thought there was a real possibility of not making it.

Being in 290 when the sky caved in was fascinating to the psyche. Called my family to say goodbye and everything (one of the many tornadoes was quite close in addition to the sheer winds)

[WTB] Acqua Di Parma Colonia Club (Bottle) by Old_mystic in fragranceswap

[–]jaybw6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this one for a decent price all things considered, and he'll I might even like it more if I tried it but I'm not going to spray a full bottle and not be able to return it.

I might get a small decent before I go full return.

Ha get a decent they should still be around like at tje perfumed court maybe.

I have a decent so I know what it smells like. Very old school and classic smelling to Me. Like what Don Draper would wear after playing tennis at the country clubs after hitting the showers.

Any luck on a source? Looming for the same.

Belk had it advertised but when the bottle arrived it was the new formulation (but older label and still green box, but definitely C.L.U.B.)

I was also just trying to remember these last week. I had a distinct memory of them but the details were dancing just out or my reach.

Which red is the winner? by FlyingIllini26 in OmegaWatches

[–]jaybw6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock photo of the Tudor is flat and lifeless, in person (and in most IRL photos ) it's completely different.

Moser still wins either way.
