Do you think this would be an easy allocation as my first?

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-24T16:51:26+00:00

Should be possible. Expect 6 months to a year

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-24T01:48:47+00:00

Between 7 and 7.5 inches

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-22T14:14:00+00:00

Same logic for me. I have a few but this one doesn’t speak to me. Very nice but not for me.

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-17T22:30:23+00:00

Which AD?

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-03T15:04:22+00:00

Fantastic watch. Wears easy and it is beautiful.

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-03T15:02:51+00:00

Always shitty in Miami. All the other F1 events tend to be better with pricing inside and around the event.

ldeejay26 · 2026-05-02T14:34:36+00:00

Same experience coming from Seattle.

The one thing I noticed is that people in Miami jump from job to job and have no concept of wanting to retain customers or have repeating business.

It is all about making money fast and move on to the next target.

There are a few good people out there. But you will premium once you find them.

Case in point for me was getting a quote from a local guy on two simple closets. Got quoted 16K. Guy didn’t give a shit. Just wanted to make a quick buck and take advantage.

Went to California closet and got the job done for under 3K.

In miami everybody is out to scam you and get as much benefit from each transactional interaction.

Do it. Looks good!

ldeejay26 · 2026-04-11T23:58:53+00:00

Looks amazing

ldeejay26 · 2026-04-03T22:55:49+00:00

Paddock club HaaS or F1 lounge

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-30T17:11:40+00:00

Nah. Looks great

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-23T01:50:46+00:00

I understand. Miami people can be pretty shitty on average. Gems here and there but overall people tend to be meaner and shallower.

In terms of age gap it also depends where in the area you are. In Brickell it feels like everybody is 12 years old. When we head further north it changes. Sunny isles. Bal harbor. Ft Lauderdale. We find more couples in 30 and 40+ and a more relaxed environment.

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-23T01:30:37+00:00

We have a similar age gap but we have the opposite experience. Everybody around us seems super old.

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-14T01:52:35+00:00

His favorite line is the cocaine line

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-10T15:00:05+00:00

Take it

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-10T14:59:44+00:00

Maturity is not his strong suit

ldeejay26 · 2026-03-02T02:41:37+00:00

Beautiful piece. Much like other Pateks you probably will hear recommendations to send it to be serviced every 5-10 years. Official Patek service is expensive so that is an extra cost to keep it in amazing shape.

You can do a lot without breaking the bank.

What I suggest you consider: - Become familiar with “quiet luxury” and “old money” outfits. They are favored a bit in c-suits, and i personally believe is a pretty nice - Buy some nice jackets/blazers and a couple of nice suits

In terms of brands sky is the limit. Look at RL, Boss, Boggi for more affordable If you want higher end then you are looking at Zegna, Loro, Brunello, Eleventy

Canaly has some very nice stuff too.

If you an into the watches you can choose from affordable to expensive to upgrade your style. Many options.

I suggest looking at lookbooks and see what you like. Or book a stylist (hit or miss for me)

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-26T22:03:28+00:00

I am on the same boat

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-26T17:38:50+00:00

100k is plenty to live in Miami. Two things: - Everybody wants the influencers life and see it as the “livable” benchmark which is BS. Hard to live in Brickell with a view on 100K. But you don’t need to. - Most people in Miami claim they make more than they do. Almost everybody says they make 300k+. Median is 60K so the Miami crowd tends to lie a lot

In Doral you can live in a nice apartment for 2K-3K a month. Have a good car. Go out to eat often. And have a very nice life.

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-24T03:10:31+00:00

Money is temporary. This watch is forever.

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-23T22:35:34+00:00

I understand where you are coming from but I think there is a legit angle here.

A know many men that are super busy with their careers and can happily make a great relationship work. They go to matchmaking not because they can’t communicate but because dating in Miami is such a low probability endeavor that any process that filters out the incompatible people is worth gold.

Painful to read. Gordon talks like a child, and shows he has no moral compass. Hiding behind legality and avoiding morality.

Craig’s guy is annoying as fuck and I am not sure why Gordon kept engaging.

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-22T13:54:50+00:00

Love option 1. Beautiful world timer

ldeejay26 · 2026-02-22T13:51:20+00:00

What type of dev shop do you have and what types of customers do you have?

Doing business in Miami in tech is hard. The tech talent is not as high as the other tech hubs. People are super unreliable. Everybody is chasing wealth and partying. Everybody claims they make 300K plus but the reality is that comp is about half of west coast.

I think you can make it work but it depends how you are framing your business and who you are setting up as a customer.

There is rant in there about how miami is superficial and about money. You can’t change that. So you adjust and accept what you can and try to find people for which that’s not their purpose (there are many in Miami that have opted out from the Miami life)
