I don’t remember precisely, but I believe it had to do with the GMT hand going out of synch with the hour hand.

And that reminds me of something else I really missed, since the start of this damned pandemic.

I recently went to my first concerts since COVID, and had a similar feeling. Some of the "weird" has already been worn off by a half dozen international flights, but I didn't know how much I missed live music until I went back. God, this pandemic sucked.

I haven't been much into watches lately, what's the issue with the BB GMT?

I can't tell if they're trying to sell pizza, or trying not to sell pizza.

Currently at our first concert since covid. Wilco outdoors in Napa with proof of vaccination. Feels weird but good.

I don’t think there is any reason not to get a Santos now. They are wonderful watches, and the two I have experience with were bought right after they were released. Better than Tudor not wanting to fix the issues with the Black Bay GMT.

Savage Gesha? Coffee never sounded so sexy!

Great info, ER. Thank you for sharing. HS

My mother’s Santos medium needed repair; I posted about that. Cartier ended up replacing the “middle module.” It’s basically the main chassis component with the movement. Well, my Santos, bought a couple weeks after she got hers, developed the same issue last week, and it’s currently on its way to the Cartier depot. My guess is they’ll do the same. Issue with early Santos movements? Cartier radically extended the warranties of watches bought 2018-2019, and they are easy to deal with (they provide packing material and pay shipping both ways), so it’s not a huge deal, but I wonder what the issue is. It was pretty much a brand new manufacture movement when the Santos was released: not unusual for their to be teething issues on a new movement.

If you had asked me 15-20 years ago would Grado have survived to still remain a going-concern today I'd have said "no, no chance." Here we are in AD 2021 and they are selling pokemon headphones. Annnnnnd this is why I index my investments. I can't predict the future for shit.

beans from the past month. Savage Gesha definitely the #1 but the Brandywine Costa Rican was amazingly consistent.

When you don't have a good product and apparently can't build one, marketing gimmicks are the way to go.

Any recommendation for connecting LED for power on/off indication to a GRHV-only based CFAE amp? A possibility would be to connect a 3V LED to 230V AC through a 1N4007 and a 56k resistor. I don't like using those power switches with integrated lights. Any other or better ideas? The CFAE only has a GRHV and 230v mains, unfortunately no LV.

I have a hard time believing that Grado doesn't have a marketing rep who's going, "ok, how do we appeal to younger generations? Weed?" "You saved our company!" "Pokemon?" "___ you absolute genius!"

I predict Grado will collaborate with RuPaul's Drag Race, and develop an IEM that doubles as glamor earrings.
