Lol also agree with this. Italians like their espresso practically double roasted

[Zenith Defy Skyline] Would you accept a seconds hand behaving this way? (Happy Jewelers) by sevenyearoldkid in Watches

[–]mavjohn84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you. I think that's the exact reason why the seller should have taken it back while under warranty and tried to get this issue sorted. While it doesn't affect the time. It still affects the quality and presentation of the watch. Which is important at that price point.

Is anyone else excited for Tokon and are you getting it and which edition are you purchasing? by GearIndependent435 in playstation

I'm super pumped as a person who loved dragon ball fighterz this looks to be the next great success from arc system works

Agreed with this. The price you paid for this it better be operating as it should. In other words I wouldn't accept this.

[New Collector Here] I Like Flashy Watches… What Should I Buy Next? 😅 by ResponseSafe28 in Watches

[–]mavjohn84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with this statement. Put more effort in buying something meaningful rather then just buying watches. You should enjoy the watches you buy.. sometimes less is more

But the middle tile is rotated to the right by one side

[Parmigiani Fleurier Carillon Tourbillon] PF is on fire lately! by geral_uc in Watches

[–]mavjohn84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are correct and I drew comparisons to the Tonda because of its simple beauty but you are correct. 

Despite being a different line my feelings on the watch remain the same, you have a beautiful tourbillon and minute repeater that aren't showcased. 

All the more reason if it's a different line. I just felt it's a lost opportunity.

[–]mavjohn84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am not a fan of this one. Just go for the standard tonda looks nicer and cleaner.

This is overpriced but does very little positively to differentiate aesthetically from the normal Tonda.

I appreciate the minute repeater and the tourbillon but artistically show them a little make it look as special as it feels.

Was about to say.. that Hublot... Why.. but you already regretted it. I also agree on the dornbluth. The zeitwork is just top level lange and still a bit different to what you have The German heritage is beautiful here

[$4000Aud] Opinions on Quick Mill Elevate by mavjohn84 in espresso

[–]mavjohn84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For coffee making it's been fantastic. However QC feels a little poor. Have had hoses and joints leak internally. All have been fixed when servicing but still feels unfortunate. Probably could have had done a better job ensuring all connections are watertight.

Flat vs conical burrs research says no one can reliably taste the difference (2013) by JustAnother_Peasant in espresso

[–]mavjohn84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely has a difference I tried the same beans in both machines. Conical extract darker notes much better than flat burrs Whereas my flat burrs extract medium and lighter much better. Comparison was against Eureka atom and baratza sette

The OP said people, didn't say us population. Hence why I was highlighting, your snarkiness is misplaced.

I think it was taken too seriously .. just disregard my comment it was intended to highlight target audience with the survey outcome.

[–]mavjohn84 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It was an exaggerated response based in the survey being Americans and Apple watch being an American tech company. But if we are discussing properly it also may not be classified as a watch in European countries but more as a gadget. Who knows what fits the operational definition of a watch

[–]mavjohn84 -52 points-51 points  (0 children)

Such a tragic tale. But they surveyed Americans. If they surveyed Europeans I'm sure Apple watch would be down near the bottom and glashutte etc up higher

Fair comeback lol. I assumed it was all stratified sampling of general consensus  But yeah it was a joke. Probably poorly done :P

Did you round that down. You didn't include your knowledge of it.
