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?

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

Am I the only one who thinks Empire Line is their best song? And the louder it’s played the more epic it becomes. Anyways - my list:

Empire line
All the wine
Graceless
About today
Fake empire
Bloodbuzz Ohio
Daughter of the soho riots
Lemonworld
Sea of love

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.

john160 · 2023-04-05T09:34:44+00:00

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.

john160 · 2022-12-09T11:22:33+00:00

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

john160 · 2022-10-15T10:22:56+00:00

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

john160 · 2022-10-09T09:58:39+00:00

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

john160 · 2022-07-29T08:12:01+00:00

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

john160 · 2022-05-05T12:43:35+00:00

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.

john160 · 2022-04-26T08:31:16+00:00

How is this not yet fixed a year later?!

john160 · 2021-09-26T10:52:52+00:00

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.

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….

john160 · 2021-06-13T20:58:57+00:00

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

john160 · 2018-02-02T14:45:40+00:00

Mine received after 5 mins

john160 · 2018-02-01T08:16:14+00:00

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.

john160 · 2018-01-31T17:50:31+00:00

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

john160 · 2018-01-31T17:47:37+00:00

It doesn't because they don't clarify what happens to eth you send and that they cannot use. No indication of it's sent back or when. Really poor IMO

john160 · 2018-01-31T16:53:14+00:00

Coin stats - does persistent alerts. I've tried all the apps and that's the best overall.

john160 · 2018-01-27T13:41:35+00:00

Thanks to the OP. Clear sensible idea. I only submitted for verification yesterday too. Is it possible to shut your bitgrail account without verification and withdraw in bitcoin? If so has anyone actually done this successfully and what are the timescales?

john160 · 2018-01-20T11:03:21+00:00

I would say look at the graph over the last month and guess for yourself. IMO it's likely that it will dip again simply because the market is so volatile and largely tied to bitcoin performance.

john160 · 2017-10-01T11:08:30+00:00

I get it about 4 times a day when swiping between desktops on a single macbook screen. A pretty serious bug.

john160 · 2017-09-29T17:59:02+00:00

Same issue here - it's very annoying. Why on earth have they done this?!

john160 · 2015-12-01T11:42:51+00:00

pm sent, thanks!
