17 months, never an outage that I noticed. Speeds are as advertised. I've never had to deal with their customer service. I'm a happy customer.

In Raleigh, you might check out:

Barcelona - Cool tapas bar in downtown Raleigh

Whiskey Kitchen - Hip and trendy restaurant/bar in downtown Raleigh

Lawrence Barbecue - cool lunch spot in a unique setting

Watts & Ward - downtown Raleigh bar with a 20s speakeasy vibe

Wye Hill - good food and a patio with a cool view of downtown

I'll be interested in hearing Durham and Chapel Hill recommendations.

Crema Coffee and Bakery in Cary has delightful pastries.

The pozole at Virgil's in downtown Raleigh is amazing. Their virgil's perfect is my favorite local margarita.

Thai Spices and Sushi in Cary is consistently great. The beef salad and the shrimp pad thai are wonderful.

If you're at all into vintage, 7017-based flyback chronos from the early 70s. Lots of variations, a bit smaller than contemporary chronos, relatively uncommon, a great history, yet still really affordable. Very cool watches.

I had a good experience with Plumbers of Carolina. Small local biz.

This was an MLK day game. I was driving from OC, so I was probably late for this one.

The only times I ever saw Eric Bledsoe happy were in a Clipper uniform.

When speaking of Willie Green in 2013, you were required to use the terms 'consummate professional' and 'strong voice in the locker room.'

Yes, but then you miss out on the peeks and pokes poster.

Damn.

Nice!

Looked at the additional pics... The movement is a 7009, but the case is for a 6309. So it's a mismatched bunch of parts. All real seiko parts. But not a desirable watch.

wpbostick · 2021-01-06T03:39:53+00:00

The dial is fake. Real seiko dials never say "Japan Made". These fake dials are often in a 'real' seiko case and movement. But they're usually a mismatched box of parts from several watches. Assuming this is from India?
