Anyone gonna pre order the iPhone 6?
highoeyazmuhudee replied to dbane883's topic in General Discussion
i dont understand the lineups, i thought you could order it online and have it delivered today as well. unless the lineups are a part of the owning an iphone experience? -

Rolex Dssd QC Issues - Am I being too picky?.
highoeyazmuhudee replied to Jmh1979's topic in The Rolex Area
yeah i think youre being particular. no rep ive ever received has been free of any scratches, you could ask for several different watches fromt he inventory and each one will have something. the darkness on the clasp could be dirt, oil, or just some scorching from the machining process i would reject the piece if the dial was damaged or misprinted, the bezel pearl was not centered, there was some deep malformation in the metal, or something was obviously not fitted correctly. -
love it! that last build with the gen gloss dial and tudor hand set was the tops! what case set did you use for that one?

Seamaster 300 from Basel 2014 released on PT
highoeyazmuhudee replied to maevit4996's topic in The Omega Area
looks very nice, might have to check this out at the AD first. November i think? here's one thing to know; the gen has an msrp of $7,500 for the base stainless steel model the tudor black bay is about $3,500 before discount Omegas attempt to be upmarket and exclusive, stepping out of Rolexs shadow i think the mentality is that if rolex can charge that much for a steel no date ceramic bezel so can we. it will be interesting to see the amount of depreciation on these pieces, and if the original vintage seamaster 300 has a tremendous increase in price and demand (i think theyre still under $3k) this watch also has a 25,000 beat rate, so a bit more jerky than most modern divers -

makes sense that apple bought Beats by Dre. then terrible headphones used more often as a necklace amongst the youth. for the average beats price of $300 you could buy SEVERAL pairs of studio quality headphones that far surpass the quality of beats e.g audio technica M50 and dont even get me started on BOSE indeed marketing is a powerful thing the hardware specs of an iphone 6 are not greater nor equal to the Nexus 5 a phone that came out a year ago, a phone today that you can buy with NO contract for $300 canadian NEXUS 5 specs VS iPhone 6 http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Apple-iPhone-6,Google-Nexus-5/phones/8346,8148 the biggest disappointment from the iphone 6 is the battery, and reassurances from tim cook thats its not worse, if anything its the same. i had the iphone 2nd gen, ditched it after being frustrated with the functionality and very specific requirements for video files. after i updated to the new ios and the experience was actually worse on my device i learned i could not roll back from the new ios, it was forbidden by Jobs, most every piece of mdoern software ive worked with had a rollback feature. and then there's itunes, my god itunes! the only thing that crashed on my pc, the whole synching of libraries vs drag and drop into directories with user defined media paths like on android. terrible! I was actually surprised to learn that you had to use itunes to transfer media and assumed i could drag and drop into a media directory via the link cable when all hooked up to the pc. Also, before i updated to the new ios i "backed up" my device, i learned backing it up does not actually back up your iphone in the way that you think it should, my years of notes i had saved on my device, ALL GONE! that single home button is far less efficient than the three button android too (app config/settings | HOME | back 1 step), i mean your car has more than one pedal. no user replaceable battery, no SD expansion, these are important to me as batteries weaken and i wanted all kinds of media on an external card also never agreed with apple keeping their technology closed source, all bottled in house, it hampers innovation. e.g airplay, DLNA is actually a superior technology, more robust, every electronics manufacturer has adopted it, even SONY, big bad DRM sony, all except apple, they stick to their primitive airplay and more people use it than DLNA (dlna is actually pretty amazing btw). along the same vein i am also reading the new iphone 6's use of the standard nfc has their own closed source twist on it. for me android is actually more intuitive, i have also been around computers all my life, since the commodore 64 to DOS to windows 3.1 -win8, linux, unix but whatever works for you this is just my experience with the apple iphone and ios -

Love the Nexus 5, what problems were you having? -
i had the brushed rehaut version, it is not really that hard to airbrush it a satin black, which you can do when you go to freeze the 6 oclock sub dial. also installed a sternkruz plexy which made it very awesome to look at. eventually the st19 chrono wouldnt reset to zero and i sold it

Anyone having problems with taking out links in GMT master 2?
highoeyazmuhudee replied to retrojun's topic in The Rolex Area
i assume screws? soak bracelet in wd40 for a few hours, then try. heat might also work. ive had link screws that would not turn for anything, i tried heat, holding a soldering gun to it for a minute, i tried the oil trick, i destroyed a few driver bits in the process too. in the end i had to drill through the screw, there was no other way. -
very nice indeed!
-
there is also no guarantee that the dial print you see is exactly what you will receive
-
bleh. its not a very accurate rep. none of the 14060s are. best you can substitute is a 5513. i tried on a gen 114060 , the ceramics have almost nothing in common with their predecessors.
-
some how i get the feeling you wouldnt be satisfied with it. i love 14060s and i know i wouldnt be satisfied with whats currently available.
-
it can be done. some experimental mods would need to be preformed. and the cost might be prohibitive. easiest, close enough solution. they make a 114060 dial with smaller markers or TC makes a 16610 sized 14060 dial (doubt itll happen now) then use any 16610 case. remove cyclops, get jmb to drill you some lug holes, get a pt 93150. DONE. yeah the watch would be a bit wider but its the best compromise vs using a 5513 case and trying to fit/mod a sapphire bezel assembly to work

having just dealt with toro and it being an easy transaction, i would say go with him, i have no experience with andrew. i feel toro is a smaller dealer and may offer a more personal experience. you probably wouldnt go wrong with either, toro does accept paypal assuming you meet his requirements, i dont think andrew does

these subs have set the standard that all other rep subs are measure against, thats for sure.
