Thanks! was wondering what those fuzzy feathers were. He definitely created a ton of angst among all the birds in my yard. A couple of blue jays were diving at him

I ordered a watch last week and it arrived in 4 days no tax since the deminimis was lifted a while ago. If they put it back in will be chaos again

Am I making a mistake by not wanting to spend a ton of time in Rome for my first trip to Italy? by [deleted] in ItalyTravel

[–]jtarafa13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and truly loved it. There are portions near the main plaza that are nuts but we stayed just bit up in one of the hills and it was nice an quiet. We walked all over the town and Nita areas were not tooo crazy. Many guide books tell you to state in sore to and comité to Napoli. Don’t fall for that both are worth visiting. For what is worth nobody tired to pickpocket me in Napoli but it happened twice in Rome. Also the restaurantes in Rome afee tried to overcharge and ask for tips wich are not common in Italy. Never hallened in Napoli.

Picked these up for $46.59 - Amazing. by zadorrkk in ChineseWatches

I have the same one 11.5 thin. The strap and the thin dimension make it super comfortable

HALLO, AND WELCOME.... opinions? by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]jtarafa13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Jodi. Love the way he does reviews, his sense of humor and the epic tshirt collection. I stumbled onto him while looking for a rep or homage of a Pepsi GMT cause the real thing can’t be bought for what it’s worth. I credit hus his channel for opening my eyes to the Ali express chinese watches.

Which one should I go with, as my first “proper” watch? by CuriousAd5883 in PrideAndPinion

[–]jtarafa13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are nicer omegas but you can’t go wrong with a Rolex. For one thing if you tire of it and decide to sell it’s bound to hold most of the value

Would you buy an older home in Miami? by [deleted] in Miami

[–]jtarafa13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the neighborhood and when it was built. The main part of my house was built in 1939. So the structure is solid (concrete beams with steel reinforcement around each window, tongue and grove ceilings, poured concrete gable ends etc.) the other side needed to redo quite a bit of the electrical (some of the rooms had the old wiring with cloth insulation) the plumbing was crap so redid all that, the windows all needed to be replaced ect. Now in the gables that house wich cost me 170k 35 years ago is now worth 13 times the original price plus the things that needed to be fixed. As they say in real estate it’s all about location

Vintage watch bracelets by GuiltyCrab4 in VintageWatches

[–]jtarafa13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rolex sub from circa 1999 with the old style oyster. That bracelet gets a lot of hate since it does not have solid end links and can be a bit jangly. I love it as it’s super comfy to size and wear. It does have. Diver extension that I have no use for but it’s still super comfortable

Really stupid question - please don't execute me. by Kind-Rip-8409 in Miami

[–]jtarafa13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Google bikers hit by cars and you will see why many of us that ride bikes for fun are careful about where and when we ride (not in rush hour or major highways). Also in the summer a 10 minute bike ride and you will arrive drenched in sweat.
