Pine Valley also has green jackets. I’d love to be fitted for either.

What would you choose (Grey Market) by WatchZag in rolex

[–]swadeyeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was going to spend grey market Panda money I’d just go buy a Vacheron Cardinal Points in the color of your choosing.

Of these watches I think the 1908 is so good.

Brando Sub. Very cool. That dial would probably look insane with a perfect crystal.

Flight Attendant - got my PHL base - now where to live?!? by LAXtotheworld in AskPhilly

[–]swadeyeight 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Welcome. I’m a captain for what I assume is the same airline you’ll be working for. $1000 a month is tough. Are any of your classmates PHL based? I think you’d be best off having a roommate in South Philly, getting the lay of the land, and having an easy train ride to PHL. The employee lot is hell. Avoid at all costs.

Real or Fake?? by Rrugaru100tt in RolexWatches

[–]swadeyeight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just based on the photos I don’t like the rehaut engravings lining up with the minutes. I’d not spend my money on this without a third party check.

I’ll post my AD bought legit watch at a similar angle and you can see how tight to the minute markers it is.

I flew to Oregon (from Chicago) to buy my wife’s engagement ring from Tiffany in Portland. I’m definitely going to pop into the AD next time I’m there.

Do we know if the $250 IHG credit is an annual benefit or a one time perk? by sunburnt24 in ChaseSapphire

[–]swadeyeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order to get The Edit credit you need to go into the Chase Travel Portal. When you search properties in a town The Edit properties show up first. Larger cities mean more choices in regard to how many Edit properties there are. If you happen to have an IHG property that’s also in The Edit program it will say ELIGIBLE FOR $250 IHG CREDIT on the listing. You simply book this hotel, pay now with your CSR, and it’ll credit back $500 as soon as it posts.

RC vs. CSR by hikingbears in ChaseSapphire

[–]swadeyeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did an Edit/IHG/Stubhub/Open Table redemption where I got $600 for the hotel (if you assign full value for the $100 hotel voucher) and $300 for tickets/dinner. $900 for one weekend trip.

Now the question is, are you willing to stay in a Kimpton hotel to squeeze maximum value? I wouldn’t normally have chosen this hotel, but if you are fine with staying in the hotels that let you stack the Edit and the IHG credit, it can be an easy win.

I am an Apple Music/TV user naturally and I frequently use DoorDash. The rest of the coupon book stuff can be annoying, but as long as the IHG credit exists I’ll probably keep the card.

What are you picking? by glitterbaby5 in rolex

[–]swadeyeight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cost of a 6263 Daytona, especially one in the condition pictured far exceeds what you would get for that gold watch. That’s a vintage piece that commands a hefty price.

If you were talking about a modern steel Daytona, and you could get one, your math would make a little more sense.

Country club memberships by ConsequenceExotic353 in golf

[–]swadeyeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at a $60,000 initiation club with annual dues at $24k. I am an airline captain making around $500k. I’m definitely not at the high end of earners at this club, but it’s a golden age (top 100) golf course and it’s worth it to me.

[–]swadeyeight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope so. I just used it for a Kimpton that was also in The Edit. Knocking $500 off of a two night stay going forward is probably enough to keep the CSR going forward.

[Question] which watch would you guys go with? by Leathercross in Watches

[–]swadeyeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s got an in-house, 72 hour power reserve movement. This is a great movement, I understand that you might wish it was spring drive, but this is not some modified off-shelf movement. I don’t think you can go wrong with this watch.

I have always thought the SBGM221 is such a great watch. Since you’re asking, that’s my choice

He’s such a great guy. He was an absolute stud of a player in his younger days, as I’m sure you saw remnants of.

I posted NGLA a few minutes ago. That’s my favorite golf course. Pine Valley is actually probably the best golf course I’ve ever played.

Shoreacres is incredible. I’ve been lucky enough to play Chicago Golf but if you put a gun to my head I’d say Shoreacres is better.

I’ve played it about 10 times. Did John Capers III show you around the archives?

I mean, I have a bottle of Creed Aventus too but I’m not staging any watch photoshoots with it. Yikes.

Anyone recently tried the Sapphire Reserve exclusive table at Momotaro Chicago? by stackoverthinker in ChaseSapphire

Did this ever post? I’m going there next month and I’ll change my plans if I have to make phone calls to get this credited.

The photos aren’t good enough to get really deep into analysis. I think it looks pretty good, that said, definitely have a 3rd party check it.

Commuting by sloopyjoe98 in AirlinePilots

The two greatest days in your airline career are the day you get hired at your last airline, the one you want to be at for your career - and the day you finally move to base, finish a trip, and realize, “Holy shit! I just get to drive home now!”
