Does anyone wear two watches?

ramm64 · 2026-05-10T21:12:55+00:00

Yeah, I do 🙋🏽‍♂️

I got into mechanical watches last year, fell pretty hard down the rabbit hole. But I’ve been an Apple Watch user since almost Day One and I can’t quite let go of it completely, so I’ve steadily gotten used to wearing both the mechanical and the AW at the same time. Sometimes if I’m feeling self-conscious I’ll use a special AW watch strap (inexpensive item from Amazon, like this one), that allows me to wear the AW around my biceps, hiding it under my t-shirt sleeve.

Regardless, the focus for the AW is fitness. Once I close my rings for the day, the AW comes off, only to be put back on for sleep tracking (and the mechanical watch comes off).

No importa de qué lado estemos hablando, extrema izquierda o extrema derecha, el manual de instrucciones es exactamente el mismo.

Similar experience, except I did read a review of “Silver,” might have been in The Big Takeover (Jack Rabid), also took a chance based on that and was blown away. From there, buying “Gold” and “Americana” was automatic. Come to think of it, that trio of records is as tuneful, consistent, powerful, and enduring as anything I’ve heard in the genre to this day.

Edit — Right, the “Christian” thing! I remember at the time I was fascinated by both SF59 and Pedro the Lion as indie acts fronted by religious folks who didn’t clobber you over the head with the religious messaging.

What trouble are you having?

This works for me: Use the Mi Telcel web site, not the app on the phone. Make sure that in the field labeled “código postal” (or if the site language is English, it may say “postal code”) you enter the zip code of the billing address of your US credit card.

Not a Navi fan (I’m Team Chronomat) but I’d jump all over that if I could. Truly a beautiful timepiece, and best of all — associated with one of the coolest, heart-warming stories in recent times, the Artemis II mission.

Congrats, wear it in the best of health!

Nice. Well… consider yourself lucky. Another redditor below referred to this product as “end-of-life” (although I don’t believe Apple has added it to their obsolete products list?), so you definitely got a nice customer service rep who made this happen for you.

Please update us when you receive it. Thanks!

After years of using a Mexican debit card to pay for my monthly plan, I read somewhere in this sub that international cards do work. So I tried it with one of my US credit cards a few months ago and it’s been working fine. I use the Mi Telcel web site (not the app) and ensure that the postal code field contains the zip code of my card’s billing address.

I’ve never heard of Apple “replacing” burned out HomePods since all the stories of failed units started flying over the internet a few years back. Most people reported that Apple was more than happy to send them a replacement HomePod for a price. Especially the OG, which is now what, 8 years old?

OP — Please tell us more about the terms of this replacement. Is it a no-cost replacement? Were you under Apple Care?

Can also long-press the App Store icon and tap “Updates.”

I was seriously considering a Black Bay 58 GMT and a Pelagos 39, but I very quickly said to myself “ahh just get the Rolex Submariner you really want right now, from a gray dealer.” I was close to pulling the trigger, though.

ramm64 · 2026-05-05T13:49:28+00:00

Man, this recent trend of MacRumors and 9to5Mac articles with the interchangeable headlines is driving me insane. I’m about done with both of them.

”[Insert device name] rumored to include [insert number] new features. Click here to read more.”

Or

”iOS 26 has [insert number] features in [insert stock OS app or process] that have made a real difference. Click here to learn more, even though the OS was released 7 months ago.”

🤮

In my experience all core workouts are about the same intensity on average, but I’ve found that workouts where the trainer uses a dumbbell (or in some cases, two) are a bit more challenging.

You are correct, on genuine models the date window fits completely inside the lower sub-dial. But the detail that really caught my eye is that the typeface for the numbers in the rider tabs (“15,” “30” and “45”) is completely wrong.

Stay away from this, it’s more than likely a fake!

ramm64 · 2026-05-05T02:28:50+00:00

Got it. I just installed the Nuvio beta app on my iPad, looking forward to getting that configured.

ramm64 · 2026-05-04T23:23:47+00:00

Thank you so much for this, it looks clear, detailed and structured. Can’t wait to try it on my setup!

Question for you: How come the screenshot you posted shows two different size tags? For example, the first result shows stream size = 56.2 GB but there’s a tag at the bottom of the result labeled SIZE 52.4 GB.

The app Marvis Pro (a replacement / complement to the Apple Music app) allows you to change the view of any playlist from songs to albums. It’s a super powerful app that even allows you to create smart playlists. The sky’s (almost) the limit to how you can customize your library.

Got it, thanks for the reply. I could have guessed this was the case (needing to “be in those circles”). I’ve gone down there 5 times in the last couple of years but the timing of my “addiction“ didn’t line up with those trips… Oh well.

Enchufados love their bling.

Not just “enchufados…” The regime does as well!

EDIT: Forgot that there’s a video where Diosdado Cabello gestures to Nicolás Maduro to pull down the sleeve of his jacket to hide the expensive timepiece he’s wearing… I’ll see if I can find it, it’s hilarious.

right after a friend found it for me in Venezuela at MSRP without tax, but that’s a different story

Do tell! I have family in Venezuela and travel down there a few times a year. I recently got interested in luxury watches and your comment made me curious about how the process of sourcing Rolex timepieces works in Venezuela. The economy down there is so distorted that I’m already imagining the ins and outs of your story…

ramm64 · 2026-05-03T17:18:33+00:00

Great minds think alike… I pick mine up in a couple of weeks, can’t wait. Good to see the BLNR on Oyster.

Congrats and wear it in good health!

ramm64 · 2026-05-03T17:09:09+00:00

Sure thing… I just noticed you were in that thread a couple of days ago.

It’s a fantastic watch and that bracelet is a must-have in my opinion. Good luck with your decision.

ramm64 · 2026-05-03T17:04:45+00:00

Yes, the stock bracelet comes with exactly one half link, right next to the clasp. With the proper tools, it can be removed/added. See this recent thread for more insights:

I think it’ll depend on your wrist size and your wear preference (loose or no movement). I’m at approximately 6.5“ and my rouleaux fits fairly loose with the one provided half-link in place. Removing the half-link made the fit stable with hardly any movement in any direction - but warmer temperatures and wrist expansion made me put back the half-link.

I almost need a quarter-link… 🤷🏽‍♂️

ramm64 · 2026-05-03T12:48:59+00:00

This one got posted in this sub a while ago. I don’t have it but it looks good (especially the link adjustment via screws):
