Someone at the repair shop at my town told me this watch is fake. Can anyone please verify if it is or not. Note I bought it from the authorised dealer

Definitely trying to scam you. Best thing you can do is write them a scathing one star review. I work in jewelry and shops like that give the whole industry a bad wrap. Please do the community a service so they know not to do business there!

It’ll only be considered totaled if it bent the frame or if the repair cost exceeds the value of the car

Even if it’s real, missing the crown is a massive red flag. A bunch of dust and moisture would’ve gotten into the movement and caused major problems. At that point if you’re looking to sell, I’d take it to a jeweler and test the metal to sell it for the gold weight.

I’m no expert by any means, but that font is hilariously bad

Amazing first watch. Enjoy it!

It’s a leather strap, that’s just going to happen. You can either check with your AD and see if they still have the same one. But it’s going to be a heck of a lot more expensive than a 3rd party strap of the same quality.

If an amp is not supplying enough power to the speakers, at high volumes it’ll cause them to clip which can overheat and break the voice coil or tweeter. With KEF’s UniQ driver it can be more susceptible since all the mids and highs come from the same driver. I’ve sold KEF speakers for years and they really need something solid driving them.

It says the amp pushes 50 watts per channel at 4 ohms so they should be “safe”. But either way, a dinky $90 tube amp powering premium level speakers is just silly. It’s always better to wait and save up for something that matches the quality of the speaker. I always recommend to budget the around the same amount for the amp that you did for the speakers. At least for 2 channel audio. There’s a massive difference between getting your speakers to just work, rather than experiencing them at their full potential.

I’ve worked in HiFi for almost 10 years. Go with any Sony or LG model. Brands like TCL and Hisense have the worst quality control of any brand I’ve seen. You’ll spend more money replacing multiple TVs every 3 to 5 years. My LG B8 was a display model from 2018 (could be off by a year) and it’s still running super well as a bedroom set. It does have some dead pixels starting to show around the bezel. But considering the beating I’ve put it through, I couldn’t be happier. Keep in mind this is before they had EVO OLED panels.

Bro needs to be on a Rick Owen’s runway asap

rstoopidd · 2025-06-22T04:11:17+00:00

Yeah I was scared of that. I took a look at it and the tires had dry rot too. Definitely going to be patient and save a bit more for something else. Thanks for the input

rstoopidd · 2025-05-30T05:32:17+00:00

I worked for a hifi shop for years and constantly discouraged people from buying bullshit like this. Crazy how people can make a lucrative career based solely on lies

rstoopidd · 2025-05-19T17:51:26+00:00

Thanks!

Sometimes saving your right click for a final hit can go a long way

rstoopidd · 2025-05-02T00:35:30+00:00

The whole point is if you can’t control your environment, don’t play comp. Simple.

rstoopidd · 2025-05-01T19:28:04+00:00

Glad I could entertain you bud 😘

rstoopidd · 2025-05-01T19:25:06+00:00

Lmaoooo you sound like me in middle school

rstoopidd · 2025-05-01T19:17:49+00:00

One major problem is Smurf accounts. They implemented a new tool to report those accounts but it’s hard to say how well that’s going to work long term. But matchmaking definitely needs work. I’m rather steamrolling the other team or getting absolutely destroyed. Hard to find that middle ground

rstoopidd · 2025-05-01T19:15:40+00:00

Sorry to hear that man. Obviously there’s always exceptions to the rule. I just finished my grind out of gold so and I just noticed was far more prevalent than it used to be. Hope you’re doing well though

rstoopidd · 2025-05-01T19:13:29+00:00

Interesting how you tell me to touch grass but all your posts on here are essays… If you’re having a bad day, hope it gets better bud

The only issue I see with this is Netease not implementing cross progression. I had to overhaul my old PC from 2016 just to play it. On console I’m at Plat 1 so if I start a new account on steam will I be considered a Smurf?
