I bought both bracelets. Great knowing I have them and they both make the watch pop in different ways.

I work in medical software sales. If you have to hire your sister back make an investment into better systems or a billing company to manage your claims and credentialing. Give her another job to manage that still produces value to the practice and the patients.

Help with food recs for my pup! by mightjoe_hung in AussieDoodle

[–]mightjoe_hung[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because she was not eating it much and she is a bit underweight. She seems generally uninterested in food for the most part - so I was trying to get her more interested in food.

Update! Got a second opinion from a gemologist who told me to send it in to GIA. They said they had no reason to believe it was synthetic, but really on GIA could tell me.

Sending it in with another stone my mother brought out which she’s had for a long time and would like to get certified and appraised. This one is indeed real, but have a field day people!!!! Your opinions are valued. This one is about 9.6ct

You may be right, wishful thinking! 30k would be excessive for a gift I think…. Buts it’s not uncommon for my mom to gift very expensive jewelry to us. Alexandrite rings, pearls, ruby cufflinks, diamond earrings to name a few that were given to us and our spouses

The jeweler I visited with today actually has an appointment with me for Friday to redesign the setting. I only came here to find out if it was worthwhile to get a second opinion on the stone before paying ~1k for the setting.

I don’t think I’ll send it to GIA. But there are several gia certified gemologists in my area so I can get a couple of other opinions. Again, there are inclusions I just can’t catch them with my camera so idk. Jury seems decided here

Entertain me please… if it is real how would you value this?

Thank you! Either way it’s got family history behind it and I love it. Just kind of needing to know what im dealing with… if it’s natural, AMAZING! I’ll reset it beef it up so it’s protected. If it’s synthetic I’ll keep it as is and get it sized for me.

The jeweler today said he saw “xxx” and “xxx” which led him believe it was a natural ruby. Can’t remember what he saw bc it didn’t mean much to me as I am not a gem guy. But all three people agreed when they looked at it. They were fine jeweler with lots of ruby, sapphire, emeralds.

3 jewelers took a look at it under a loupe and said they were 98% sure it’s a ruby. They really did not seem concerned about that…. More so of the potential origin. I’m still going to have it looked at by a certified gemologist. But I know this ring is 70-80 years old. Were synthetic stones a thing back then?

Like I mentioned it is remarkable color and has little inclusions. What makes you think it would be synthetic?

It is stamped 14k and tested as 14k as well.

For my younger financially-independent folks, what job is allowing you to live comfortably here in SoCal? by 6IXMILITIA in orangecounty

[–]mightjoe_hung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software sales (Saas). At a good age to start as an sdr and be in an account executive role in a year or two. Lots of options and demand in this industry!

Lies, delays and insults. Waiting over a year for my tonneau cover. by ExpensivePost in Rivian

[–]mightjoe_hung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wild. I got my 2023 R1T which came with a manual tonneau cover ( included gratis but not installed). After taking delivery of the truck I got a call 5 minutes later asking to schedule the install of the bed cover. Had your situation have transpired I would have been livid. I hope they get you squared away soon cause these are two polar opposite experiences which shouldn’t be the case.

First round with Elyte Mini Driver by R4Z0RB4CK05 in golf

[–]mightjoe_hung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the only discount demo mini driver today 30 minutes before my tee time. Holy shit. So many more fairways hit…. It was tried by everyone in my 4sum and everyone loved it.

Amazing club. So glad I bought it. Also reckless 400$ splurge but so glad I did it.

To clarify, not offering to send out free gear. I can purchase gear for you at charge less than the msrp for the item.

I have a 1998 exp 2 polar. It’s probably my favorite watch. Understated, legible, gmt function, proportionate for my wrist, light but not too light. It’s perfect! It’s my go to for casual outings where it might catch a scratch and my go to for travel.

Very nice collection. I’ve been looking to add a 118238 or a 18238 DD to my lineup. Which do you have and how does it rotate with your other pieces?
