    Yeah, I have tried it on. It looks fine, just not dress shirt / suit fine, imho. Not that the Rolex does either but it has become accepted over time.

    Never really liked any of the Titanium watches I have owned over the years. I still might buy a Pelagos but I doubt it would be a daily wear watch, more of a weekend T-shirt kind of watch. I found this article pretty amazing. http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/inside-rolex

    I have never particularly cared for the cyclops and its goofy giant numbers. That is why I like my Seadweller more than my Sub/GMT II. I really just want to try the new Ceramic, improved bracelet and blue lume in something, and I am bored.

    Why should history keep them from doing what I want? It always makes things easier. Not sure why but I just like the no date Subc look better than the date one these days. Don't see a lot of GMTs out there so it might make a nice everyday rotation watch.

    I think I would like a no date GMT II BLNR. Why does Rolex not make one of those?

    So you bought all three I see. Which are you wearing now?

    If they paid me enough, I would allow it. In case you are talking to them, I would also be willing to say the Milgaus is not completely ugly.

    I am actually contemplating getting the newer 42mm Explorer as a daily watch as I do not already have one and think they look okay.

    Maybe they made a cheap knock-off of the laser engraver also?

    These are the things that make me never wear any of my Roli as I assume every one I see is a fake nowadays. Not nearly as bad here in DC as the men dress like slobs so I hardly see anything above a Citizen. I did see a really hot Asian girl with a Panerai on the other day. I hope it was real, but I doubt it.

    I think most of it is making harder for the assholes to copy it. Engraving all that plus the serial number in the rehaut is at least more work for the fakes.
  12. Canon S100 is really nice, and there is a really cheap one for sale somewheres around here.

    Actually pretty interesting reads anyway. I am really looking for something new for the everyday rotation and I am intrigued by the Ceramic bezels. Not sure I like the weird Rolex engraving on the rehaut or whatever.
  14. Just sold it last week.
  15. Some RX100 concert photos, and a random Brent photo for reference.
  16. Big fan of the rx100 MKII or you might even look for a RX10 for all that zoom for concerts. I know, I know, budget, I don't like budgets.

    Misreading that Jacob, the reason I do not have a space shuttle is because of space, not Space is the reason I do not buy Roli.

    It is really a space thing for me Jacob. I came as close as I have before to buying a Rolex, all mine were gifts, in the new GMT II BLVRNWHATEVR watch,. Just couldn't do it.
  19. Ewww, I can almost hear all the grunge you will be introducing all the way over here. I am going to do something similar with a remote controlled DAC passing through the BHSE on the way to the powered speakers. I am hoping it does not amount to a pain in the ass.
  20. I am really not sure if the file size of DSD is worth the hassle. I would definitely not buy DSD versions of things I already have in HiRes, though I am not sure anymore I would buy HiRes of things I already have on CD.
  21. DSD Needle Drop from Acoustic Sounds.
  22. Happy Birthday Al. I assume it will be a great one as you never disappoint.
  23. It does, just not sure two video cards with 12 GB of RAM and a 4k monitor are really necessary when the computer will be controlled by logmein from my iPad. Will the quality of my iPad view increase greatly with this investment?
  24. Good call Stretch. I am also being sensible and trying to decide if a Mac Pro like Dan listed would be overkill for my music server in my office. Seems like it might be the fix I need for my puny Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

    Very nice. Seems like a hell of a deal. I would hate to be a shop with some of the old Pelagos sitting on the shelf.
