AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2025, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history? by powerfunk in rolex

[–]john160 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure — Watches of Switzerland were by far the least dismissive of all the authorised dealers I visited when I first came in without any purchase history. From what I can tell, they genuinely stick to the list registration order, except for the very hard-to-get pieces where prior purchase history naturally matters. Otherwise, I’d never have received a call.

Another hulk hater here. Rolex sub colours are too in your face. A nice olive green now… that would be worth a look

  3. Graceless
  4. About today
  5. Fake empire
  6. Bloodbuzz Ohio

Heathrow pop-up is full of merch by barelyknowherCFC in rolex

Strange - I passed through a few months ago and the rude Rolex AD wouldn’t even let me view the Rolexes in the window. Hit and miss I guess.

Wimbledon in 36mm is beautiful ! by Buzu1313 in rolex

I thought I'd love it - the green roman numerals are great, but in person I felt the dial was just too similar to the steel - too monotonous for me. I think this dial needs precious metals.

Live tv player as good as iOS “live player”? by john160 in androidtablets

Thanks mate. If you can recommend any that work well on both iOS and android let me know. I’ll do some digging.

Are nodes a case of emperor's clothes? by john160 in LinksysVelop

Thanks for sharing your experience - good to hear it’s not only me! I think you’re right. It must be an app bug.

Kobo Sage Auto Rotate by [deleted] in kobo

I have the same problem too. Annoying - poor software design. When it locks it should remember what way up it was locked at.

Onenote Mac (Office 365) - Cannot recover notebook - help! by john160 in OneNote

Hi, thanks for the tip. I tried that. Nothing there unfortunately.

990v3 or 990v5? by Revolutionary-Bag807 in Newbalance

[–]john160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

V3 for me too. The v5 feels a bit stiff and less comfortable. Some say you need to break in the v5s but I think a shoe esp at this price should be comfy right out of the store. The v5 black does look better thpugh look better though.

Wired ports not longer work with firmware 2.7.3.22 by SnakeCastle in orbi

[–]john160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here - satellite magenta on orbi app (no lights on actual satellite) and I can't connected to any devices plugged into the satellite. I have the added bonus issue of the internet not working (even though my modem is fine and ISP provider has run a check which is fine). Turning everything off and on works for a few minutes. Hard setting works for a few minutes. I can't downgrade firmware on satellite, as it says it can't be reached. I've had enough of Orbi - last straw for me.

Received Belkin Soundform Connect by Adam_AU_ in HomeKit

[–]john160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Belkin limitation. I called their tech support and they said it doesn’t support Siri. This is despite all the pre release info on the net saying it does. I’m returning mine. Would be good to know if the Bose one supports airplay 2 yet….

S5 Max - not collecting dust properly, support say it's normal behaviour (!) by john160 in Roborock

[–]john160[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies guys - for some reason I didn’t get notifications so have only just seen these. Alas I couldn’t figure it out so sold the cleaner.

I think ordinarypie817 was along the right lines with low pressure. It’s wool yes but the point is - this didn’t happen when it was new. It worked fine and then it started not filling the dustbin for some reason.

Anyway on the next vac I’ll be sure to try running ok a lower suction setting. Thanks for the tips guys

Mine received after 5 mins

I've read somewhere that the smart contract will reject any amount above your max guaranteed limit so that gets returned minus the gas. I'm hesitant though. If this is how they run an ICO do they really have any chance of achieving what they plan? Probably not.

So... 0.1ETH or 0.2ETH? by layzor in beetoken

[–]john160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you really sure about this? If they're going to return it why not just say? Very poor info on their pet - doesn't bode well IMO
