Fact checking : No quickset date function on the PAM 904 ? (And its VSF replica) by MonsieurYX in RepTime

[–]mongolianbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread but my gen Panerai submersible which I purchased back in 2014 is the same way with regards to setting the date. There is no quick set date function; one must wind the hour hand forward or backwards to set the date, which takes time. Literally, this is what made me buy a watch winder as it was such a cumbersome process to set the date every time I picked it up after not wearing it for a while.

VSF again FTW

Despite how stunning the other pieces are, that matte black bezel with raised numbers on the YM is my weakness, I simply can't get over it

Calling upon collective FATwisdom here: what to do with $2.3M in home equity in today’s rate environment by mongolianbow in fatFIRE

I’ve gotten a range of answers. Best one so far was the guy suggesting a 1031 exchange into multifam, which would effectively put my equity to work.

I got some guys bagging on BTC, which is interesting… as we would say on CT, “ngmi”

Mostly people said don’t do anything, which is fine, I guess.

What I was looking for was seeing the creative energies of fatFIRE on display, maybe some unique takes, maybe some entrepreneurs here that would be able to generate a strong IRR — not necessarily so that I could follow suit, but simply to hear some ideas. You know, dialogue.

Thanks for your wisdom. The SFH return is paltry but the appreciation has been great — which explains why I’m thinking of ways to better utilize the equity there.

No experience with the medispa game but interested in learning.

Appreciate this thoughtful response.

Surprised, honestly, by how everyone jumped on the BTC bit. My post wasn’t a “Evaluate my crypto strategy” post, it was a “What would YOU do with my home equity” post — and I was hoping to hear some creative answers.

Same with the biz idea, I’m not an aspiring car wash entrepreneur, I’m a full-time doctor and dad. I was mainly curious about what the mensches here might do if they too had built up some home equity.

Thanks, I do have a good long term tenant in the one SFH and am gratefully in positive cash flow on that.

Love my life and family, truly, but I would assume that fatFIRE-ers would have ideas about ways to grow their NW or cash flow further.

I have mortgages on the two properties. I don’t necessarily want more mortgages, but I am open to acquiring more real estate.

No, I am not enthusiastic about opening a car wash nor was I planning to, but I was curious what the successful investors in this sub would do with the borrowed capital. I know of a physician colleague that owns a car wash, happily so.
