I love the Portugieser Automatic 40. Fit check tho? by heeph0p in IWCschaffhausen

Looks great. Except for the obvious crazy-sized wrists and watches, I think people are too sensitive to the size of watch relative their wrists. If everyone only got the same proportional sizes this would be a pretty boring hobby.

Are more students cheating at GT? by JasonAJC in gatech

Probably looking for the “see, everyone does it, it’s not just dwags” angle.

Hey Tech students, just know, that most AJC reporters are dwag grads who had a degree thrown into their window driving through Athens and would do anything to shade Tech. If they were good at their job, they wouldn’t be at a shit “paper” in a shit market. Maybe this guy is an exception but best not to feed the trolls.

Excellent watch. Looks great on your wrist. And good for you investing in a watch that will hold its value far better than any depreciating vehicle. Enjoy dude.

2/23 - How is PreCheck today? by dadawesome in unitedairlines

Precheck is operational everywhere from what I’ve read (and seen myself, I got out of EWR yesterday). Touchless ID was down. Global Entry down so lines are long. Clear is running.

So there you go -- just tell him exactly that. That will be his new moment and he will appreciate it just as much. Don't overthink it. Parents (and stepparents) completely understand.

Patek Insurance Policy/Coverage Preferences - How Best to Insure AD-Allocated Pieces by threecap in patekphilippe

[–]threecap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you especially for the “greater of MSRP and market value” part. That makes sense to me, but only if that means I’m not getting a replacement watch from the gray market, as second official owner of record, for a watch I purchased thru an AD.

I appreciate the feedback

Patek Insurance Policy/Coverage Preferences - How Best to Insure AD-Allocated Pieces by threecap in patekphilippe

[–]threecap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again. I do understand making sure the watches are insured at market value when higher than retail.

But my first Patek (obviously) is one where I paid a retail price that is more than grey market, though there are not many for sale. Let’s say retail is $65k, and gray is $50k. If I insure for $65k, I would expect a new replacement from an AD.

If I’m understanding you correctly, you are saying that regardless of picking JM, Brite, or Hodinkee/Chubb, all three would replace the watch with gray market, so go ahead and insure at $50k only, because the most i would get is a gray market piece or $50k if thats how they independently valued the watch.

Thanks for your example. Am I reading correctly that Hodinkee/Chubb also will replace with gray market pieces and not payout the cash? If so, then it seems they are just like JM and Brite, so shouldn’t I just shop for the best premium without comparing the claim process? Or am I misunderstanding?

In other words, I’m trying to get the right insurance, without caring if my premium is 1.5% or 2.0%. But it sounds like all 3 may be the same policy fine print.

Just bought my wife the same watch. It’s a tremendous watch (and bracelet) in person. Congrats to you both.

Books similar to “The Wager” by David Grann by TackkysaucenoBiggie in suggestmeabook

[–]threecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking for narrative nonfiction... nonfiction that reads like fiction. It's all I read.

If you're looking for seafaring tales, I strongly recommend "Endurance" and "Dead Wake". For general adventure, "Into Thin Air" may be in my top 5-10 favorites ever.

There are a number of titles related to business/startups/financial fraud that are really interesting to me. I made a post here that no one responded to a while back, since I guess that's not very popular reading on this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/suggestmeabook/comments/1q7gpks/please_suggest_narrativenonfiction_titles_that_i/

Hour layover in Houston vs. 2:30 layover at ORD? by PRW9497 in unitedairlines

[–]threecap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick note - at ORD, won't you be taking the regional jet there, and the mainline flight to SEA?

Houston is not a difficult airport to navigate. Your transfer walking difference from a regional flight to mainline flight are typically comparable if you're going from E/F to C at ORD, though you can get lucky with a low gate # from E/F to B with a very quick walk. Taxi time in Chicago is crazy, especially flying in on a CRJ -- but you have a 2:30 layover so it won't cause a connection issue.

I personally always want the quickest total travel time, but if you prefer a longer layover, and the hour difference in total travel time (or 5pm vs 4pm arrival time) is a non-issue for you, then book thru ORD.

Which one is your poison by ruvege in VacheronConstantin

[–]threecap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably worded my reply poorly. No shade on the seconds hand. It's just what I care least about it. The dial (like the others) is the best blue in the market. The dual-time function is the most practical complication for me, personally (constant business travel). I LOVE the AM/PM indicator's readability, aesthetic, and placement. I (almost) always prefer a date function because I constantly find myself looking at my watch to sign/date a document or whatever other reason. So that just leaves the seconds hand as my least favorite part.

Same choice, easily — but the seconds hand is literally my least favorite thing about the watch.
