Torpedo

I'm sorry, Jacob. They could have said beforehand

Nice! El Primero Flyback "original". A present from my best half when I hit 40.

#2 and #5 in that order

This. I really doubt anyone is going to try.

That's the place of the wise men, Brent

According to ML the strap is "veritable lizard". Their weakest part is around the buckle where they end up breaking. This is dry weather so the skin is shrinking, you can see that at the lugs end where the pin can be seen and there's some looseness. But this about 15 or 16 years after I swapped the strap the last time. Before that, when I used that watch on a daily basis, the strap didn't last more than a couple of years. They're very expensive, or that's what I remember, by those days I was a very poor resident. I don't own a single mechanical watch that stays in the +2/-2 seconds month. I'd say that not a single one stays within that range a day. Some, like one of the Zeniths, are very sensitive to the position I leave them on the table at night. If put flat on its back it stays in the -3/+1 range, but if left resting on the side, it can get as slow as -10 seconds/day. In the winder it remains in between those values. I'd love checking a Spring Drive Grand Seiko.

This, I liked 3rd for the background pattern more than the color in the car.

Thanks . I like the dial and the lugs, they're very nice with that double curve. The watch is nice, pretty dressy and doesn't really look ridiculously small in my thin wrist, but I'd really love it if instead of 32mm it were 36mm in diameter.

I think I can fix that, Jacob, however my only working camera is iPhone's so don't expect much.

That's great, Jacob. I've got my ML back from service a couple of days ago, it's going pretty accurate too

Happy birthday, Todd!!!! This deserves an adult beverage to toast to yours

This, I'll add myself to the GB and see what happens. Price is not great, but not bad either, I guess those tubes are better than the JJ and worth the expense

Per matched quartet?

Any idea about the price?

It sounds very good, Jacob. Best wishes.

I used Kaspersky many years (like twelve or more) ago and always performed well, however it missed a pretty nasty worm which caused lots of trouble. It was Avast the one finding and cleaning it, so I started using it, first the free version then the paid one. It was my only antivirus until I moved onto OSX. Now I'm using none.

Good luck, Jacob. You'll do great

Thank you buddies!!!! It's been a very nice day, I took it off from work so I've been able not to get up too early, which I hate, and have had a day long of celebrations with the wife and family. Tremendous meal was had. Lots of friends calling too, so most of the evening on the phone. It's awesome having so many people wishing well to one after all these years

Sell those 507 and get a wonderful pair of 207. Then sell the 727 and get a 252. It will sound way better. More expensive doesn't mean better most of the times.

Even somebody with the means to get it after "some time"...

I kept the subscription for a couple of years, maybe three, but now it's been expired for more than two and I'm not really missing it

Nope, I haven't been to Cat Power. I think Melody has some sight issues, she's always wearing sunglasses, as a sequela from her accident. It's possible she just waited for it to be mostly dark. Here at 10:00pm it's pretty clear yet, and the show was supposed to start at 9:30. She even spoke a few phrases of decent Spanish

The wife and I went to Melody Gardot this evening. She started more than half an hour late, and to be honest, a bit cold, at times I had the feeling she was doing playback. But by the third tune the show warmed up and we've had a lot of fun. She's a show-woman well worth attending live, her band is great too.

I'm sorry, Steve. My condolences.
