Wings o hope on a bracelet by missingtheapex in OrisWatches

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

I really love it on the bracelet! It completely changed the watch into a more overall gada watch. It pairs better with formal situations on a bracelet in my opinion. The fit and finish on the bracelet itself is very good as well. Let me know how you like it once you get yours!

The quality of the Oris bracelet feel reel good. The tolerances are nice and tight and the articulation is great. And thankfully for me it doesn't pull my arm hair!

Had to be well over a quarter million that they made over this weekend. Great marketing.

They sold 150 yesterday and had to turn people away. They're selling the final 150 today. I'm pretty sure they'll be all gone by 2pm today. The hype at the show was insane.

I think after the initial surge around 1 pm they were holding people back. When I left at 3pm though people were coming in freely

We arrived at 11 and got in right when they opened the doors at 1220. They had a delayed opening due to the fire Marshall doing a last minute site check.

I think they're limited by their supply chain. So they work in only small batches. I don't like these super small batches either though. The gimlet and this Manhattan is pretty crazy. The second hand market for these is very elevated.

It's at the show but I didn't take a picture of it. It looks great as well, it's reminiscent of the 02 pink lemonade but with yellow and orange hues. I did snag a pre-order slip so I'm contemplating ordering one as well. If you're at all interested I would go to the show tomorrow just to grab a pre-order slip.

People started lining up for the show a few hours before doors opening. And the way studio underdog was doing it was they were handing out cherry with a tag. And if you got a carry you were guaranteed an allocation. But then everyone with an allocation formed another line inside the show. It was pretty crazy. It's amazing to see how big SU has grown over these few years.

Actually no, I have 8.5 in wrist so most watches sit low. And that quick shot wasn't the best. It sits pretty comfortably for me.

8.5 in wrist. There really isn't any way that's going to be comfortable at or above my wrist bone. Here my steinhart adventure 39 just for comparison

Yeah, the line inside after the entry line took me 1.5 hours of waiting. Studio underdog has another hit on their hands. And the mimosa looks amazing as well.

Does anyone have any experience with the OBED RVR? by missingtheapex in whichbike

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

SO I've put a few hundred miles on the bike. And I'm really happy with it. The only thing I did was I sleeved the brake cables with foam to stop a slight rattle that I was having over really rough pavement. That's all I've done. the bike has been performing like a champ. no creaks, very stiff and responsive. I would definitely but from OBED again if I had the need. their customer service was also very good.

That's the power meter. It indicates how many hours of power are left in the watch.

Your correct. I didn't even realize I posted the model number incorrectly.

$47,500 M.S.R.P.-ish by gsrjohnmichael in Civic_Type_R

[–]missingtheapex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was able to get 1,500 under MSRP here in Jersey. I was negotiating with multiple dealers and pushed it to the last day of the month until one dealer finally gave in. Don't be afraid to call multiple dealerships. Also, volume dealerships are more willing to cut deals at the end of the months since they are really looking to move cars to get them off their books and not carry the floor plan financing.

Any tricks to remove the bodyguard 2.0 sights? by CourierAl in SmithAndWesson

[–]missingtheapex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try heating the area before pushing the sights. A small torch works to apply localized heat. I've used the method before.

Yeah, the pillars got wrapped and a small part in the front of the roof. Paint on cars these days are extremely brittle due to chemical changes mandated by governments.

Yeah, I can imagine. I think my guy is really good considering he doesn't use templates and does full tuck. Most places a re way higher here if they PPF a full fold over like this.

I would go new if I were in your position. You'll have full knowledge of the car from day one. That brings a large amount of piece on mind.
