  3. Case engravings on my Franken TC 16610

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    out of interest how much was that to do?

    if you send him the watch case already disassembled I believe there is a discount 

    I sent him a complete watch, which he had to take apart, engrave, polish out the case for me, Check for leaks, reassemble.    Total was about $220 which included shipping priority 2-day 

     

    now you can put it on a Bulang + Sons! :)

     

    Yes!   I already have a gunny waiting for it, but the fact that there were no engravings drove me crazy 

     

    i still prefer the oyster over straps on my subs for some reason, no matter badly I want to love them

     

     

     

     

     

  8. Possible move to Atlanta. Need advice

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Atlanta is really nice.

    think 10 months of decent weather.

    In the last five years the actual city proper has exploded with suburban people taking up roots intown + people moving from other cities/countries.

    I give the same advice I give to people moving to Los Angeles:

    LIVE NEAR WHERE YOU WORK.

    Like, for real...(to use American vernacular) live near where you work.

    The traffic in Atlanta is bad during the day and usually doesn't clear out until 8-9pm.

    So figure out where you'll have to go every day and live in the closest interesting place for you.

    Keep your head up, and stay safe.

    The city isn't the safest place. It's just not. 

    Especially compared to CLT.

    Never leave anything valuable in your car, there's a good chance if you live in town once a year your window will be broken/car broken into... 

    especially if you live anywhere other than Buckhead/Brookhaven or the suburbs.

    now, I'm not recommending living in Buckhead, mind you, there isn't too much fun stuff there...

    VaHi, Inman Park, Midtown, West Midtown, Little 5, Cabbagetown, Candler Park, Decatur, etc etc etc all have their charms and if you have the ability to live in one of these older walkable neighborhoods do it.

    Most of these 'hoods are experiencing a great deal of infill- condos and apartment complexes etc going up everywhere if that's your thing.

    Me, I prefer a '20s - '50s bungalow with a patio/porch! :)

    I spent almost 20 years in Atlanta in total, it's a great place.

    Lots of good people, good food, and heartbreakingly agonizing professional sports.

    thanks for the insight!   I'm still very much undecided.    I really like Charlotte and the money isn't that much more when factoring in cost of living, and the wife finding a new job...

  9. Possible move to Atlanta. Need advice

    Hi guys.   I might be taking a promotion but I would have to move to Atlanta from Charlotte.  I don't know much about Atlanta so I'm seeking advice from my friends here 

    We don't necessarily need to be inside the loop, although we would like the ability to walk to restaurants, shops, town center etc without being too far out in the suburbs.    

     

    Ideally something on the NW side since this would be my territory 

     

    thanks in advance for your suggestions

     

     

     

  21. Calling all 1675 experts

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm considering a gen purchase of a 1675. After studying all the different variations of dials, cg's etc there is obviously a huge swing in prices.

    I like the way all of them look so I don't NEED to have a certain year

    My Budget is about 5k +\- Ideally with a jubilee

    Is there a certain year that I should focus on that would be in my price range? Are certain years a no-go?

    Thanks for all your input, thoughts and opinions
