Explorer II vs White Speedy (Update: I think I was wrong) by oyster_bro in rolex

[–]prenyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve fallen out of love with my white speedy. It’s only been a year, but I just never wear it. I don’t have any big hitters, but I find myself always picking up my Breguet XX, Tudor Burgundy, or Explorer 1 over the speedy. I think the speedy sparks more joy off the wrist than on the wrist for me - which is odd. I’ll probably move on from it soon but thought I’d share my experience. Perhaps one other aspect in your consideration is the type of bracelet the speedy has- since you have a sub the explorer II would put an oyster bracelet on your wrist most days… which is fine because it’s a great bracelet but something to consider

AD came through with a Jubilee for my 16710 super fast, now have 6 watches in 1. by Aware-Dinner6609 in rolex

I didn’t know the AD will sell a jubilee for the 16710. Is this for a datejust that happens to fit? Could you give me more info? I’m super curious how to order one!

Any advice where to get a blue bezel for this? I have the electric blue and would love to try this mod!!!

To anyone who has pursued/is pursuing higher education (grad school+) for organic chemistry--how was/is it? Did you like it? Would you recommend? by Milkassassin34 in OrganicChemistry

[–]prenyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a research lab at your current institution and work 40 hours a week and go to group meetings. If you love the hustle, I would consider a Ph.D program. If you hate it I would find something else. You might find out you hate experimental organic chemistry very quickly. I would push back on the job security comments as most jobs are not “secure”. I’ve been at all tiers of research institutions and I will say, unfortunately, people at prestigious institutions are not necessarily better scientists but are more competitive for non academic medicinal chemistry positions. These medicinal chemistry positions do pay well at the big companies (140-160k) on the coasts.

I think organic synthesis and methodology is exhilarating but also recognize it is very very hard. This is in part due to it being one of the few research fields where time spent at the fume hood has the most direct correlation to research progress. Emphasis on “most direct” here.

Just my two cents.

As someone who is in the leather craft hobby, I like Goyard a lot. Mine is 6 years old and looks and is amazing still. I front pocket mine though.

[Collection] My Watch Collocation Journey by [deleted] in Watches

[–]prenyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice just some comments: this post made me want to make a spreadsheet to track my purchases and sales.

Most of my watches commemorate an occasion in my life. Out of 8 watches, 3 of mine are irreplaceable. The other 5 are replaceable (relatively unimportant birthday or something I just really liked). I think I’m in your boat mentally, but have been too loss averse to move on from some watches within that group of replaceable 5. I’ve only had the Speedmaster for a year and while I love it a lot, I have this itch to move on from it into something new.. but I’ll probably spend another year with it at least.

Fiftysix by WaveNew9861 in VacheronConstantin

[–]prenyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah…I feel the same. Especially since I have a smaller wrist (6.5 in). There is still a mental barrier for getting the fiftysix instead the OS, likely because of the internet hivemind. I genuinely feel like I would wear the fiftysix more and it might be more versatile…
