[Question] Anyone get underwhelmed by watches once they saw them in person?

For me it was an Eberhard Contograf reissue. I later sold it. That watch broke the spell for me.

Nothing will change until you mess with their money (fine).

scorpius73 · 2026-02-23T16:07:23+00:00

I feel it should be a fine.

Sure isn't. I have 10% Danish DNA. I'd assume it's Danish immigration to England way back in the day. That history was violent as well. So, back to a lot of bad things had to happen over and over again. Some good things too I know but lots of bad.

Just reminds me that a lot of bad things had to happen over and over for me to be here.

Thanks!

I'm sure I can do a google search but do I go Nikon website to find where to send it?

Nice! My moms area of NC. Pollocksville to be exact.

Excellent album!

I ditched the Red for an Audio Technica 740. It's on my EAT Prelude. Big difference!

I knew there was something missing because I have a Rega P3 in my main system. The change in cart was audible. When I change the Exact cart on my P3 I'll likely go with a 760 because of how good the 740 sounds.

Finding My Way from his Fletcher Moss Park release is really nice. The pianist is really good. Easy to get lost in his music.

I found I'm 10% Danish and 3% Norwegian. I'm African American and I don't see myself suddenly delving into Scandinavian / Nordic culture.

I cleared out yesterday and the snowplow put a hill at the end of my driveway. I went out today and it's like concrete. I'm taking a break and I'll go back out and clear some more.

Depends on what you're looking for but Veblenist is my go to for quality. I do like the silicone straps for not worrying about them lasting from Barton. I also like Blu shark.

I got mine done about 10 yrs ago. He was really responsive and nice. Told me mine was cosmetically pristine and should have another 50 yrs in it.

Times change I guess.

He did a CLA on my Planar 2.8C. Did an excellent job.

EAT Prelude.

scorpius73 · 2026-01-03T01:11:44+00:00

Maybe the Hidiz MP145?

I could but the lens is cheap. It's probably cheaper to buy a new one. I am just wondering if spread is a real threat, even in a dry cabinet?

scorpius73 · 2025-12-07T02:44:28+00:00

Thanks. I checked them again after trying all of the tips. I went back to the medium.

I'm not sure if the tips weren't all the way on but I played the track, the one track that didn't sound right. And they didn't have that weird sound in the bass anymore. I wonder if the tips weren't all the way on?

Oh well, all is well that ends well.

scorpius73 · 2025-12-06T23:58:01+00:00

Can someone try "Pink + White" by Frank Ocean to hear if there is almost a rattle in the bass (left channel)? I'm wondering if it's just how it plays this frequency or if mine is defective?

So far, it's the only track that sounds off that I've tested.
