  1. measured my wrist out of curiousity. 7.3" around. wrist size has actually gone down since i started working out.
  2. got bored last night. i like the original (#2) better. tried clowning around in lightroom but i think i just made it worse. a few more seconds might have done what i wanted out of the picture.
  3. i just found out the lucien piccard is a 45mm watch. and it seems small to me. guess i have big wrists.
  4. id love to get one of their marine collection watches but the blue hands put me off. will email him to see if something can be done about the color. perhaps black hands.
  5. yeah ive been reading about steinhart and barring one person who received a scratched watch with a strap too small for his wrist (despite him telling gunter that he had a big wrist) everyone has given them a 100 for customer service. calling myself hairy would be an understatement so that rules out any metal bracelets - hair gets stuck in the links and results in a rather painful experience. havent had any experience with rubber straps so might look into those but i dont know if they would look too good with a watch like that. when i got my lucien piccard i thought red stitching on black leather would look nice but after having had it for a while i dont wear it too often because i dont like it. might go with white on black or just plain black. shooting him an email. lets see.
  6. cant decide between the two http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&artnr=397&Sel_ID=27#397 http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&artnr=211&Sel_ID=27#211 not a big fan of the diamond crown but havent seen one in person so dont know if it presents differently. the periphery is less busy on the second one which i like a lot. something about the first just speaks to me. cant quite put my finger on it =/ anyone dealt with steinhart or know of their reputation? a sizeable chunk of money to be sent to germany. very nice watch mike.
  7. that they do
  8. i dont even care if it was a hearty thanks or not. even if the girl had to force herself to mutter "thank you" i would have walked away without being as angry as i was.
  9. I did that once. Found a purse a few months ago and found the girl on Facebook. She called me and asked me to meet her 40 miles south of school to give her her purse back. I said I was just going to leave it with lost and found. She then said she was going to come by in an hour. Came with her boyfriend who claimed I was being a douche to her on the phone for not wanting to drive out of my way. Gave her the purse and walked back upstairs. The kept yelling im talking to you. Don't turn your back to me. Fucking ingrates. +1 to you though Jacob.
  10. Happy birthday sir.
  11. after the poor luck with the used nokton lens, i ended up buying a new one. opened the box just now and found the lens to have faulty assembly. the barrel rocks back and forth at the aperture ring. was on the phone with photovillage and the guy asked me to tighten the screws around it to see if that fixes it but they are as tight as can be. second lens i have to send back but at least the replacement was fairly smooth. sigh. have to wait for another week now. fantastic lens though.
  12. Not trying to be argumentative but they don't cover cracked screens either. Initially the guy quoted me 200 plus tax but then realized I was waiting for a while after my apt time and offered a free replacement as a one time courtesy.
  13. Has the phone ever been replaced? My screen cracked over the weekend and shortly after the phone stopped working. Fell out of my pocket on the road. Went to the store and waited for 45 minutes. The guy finally called me and replaced the phone for free. Give it a try. If that doesn't work, try warranty service like squaretrade if you have that.
  14. gifted hands by dr ben carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery at johns hopkins med at 33. grew up in the ghetto and rose to that position at 33. doubt ill be able to put the book down tonight without finishing it. rarely have i come across something so simple yet so thought provoking. the guy came from nothing and ive pretty much all but squandered all my opportunities.
  15. congratulations!
  16. i read that already haj. the sound cutting in and out seems to be an issue with "the external shell or internal components" no?
  17. mike did you have to pay for all the repairs etc? i emailed jaime about sound cutting in an out of the left earpiece and for cleaning of wax from inside the earpieces. i was quoted $50 and was told id be responsible for shipping both ways. what the hell is actually covered under their warranty?
  18. voigtlander nokton 50mm 1.1 cant wait for tuesday
  19. He succeeds every time.
  20. Dude do you live in the forest or something. You always post pictures of the scariest shit in or around your house.
  21. pm sent to seller. she replied immediately saying she spent the money already on a hotel room. take it to paypal?
  22. i am talking about the glass. look under the "t" in voigtlander in the blown up picture. theres a scratch on the glass. theres another one which i dont have time to take a photo of right now. trying to finish up some paperwork. i dont care for the metal/plastic enclosure. its the glass thats bothering me. not small amount of money for me.
  23. is the scratch under where it says voigtlander something that is expected for a used lens? the buyer said it was in as new condition however there are 2 marked scratches on the lens that are visible to the eye. original thread - http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum//viewtopic.php?TopicID=1008894&page=0#9590617 mostly concerned if i overpaid for a scratched lens and if i have a leg to stand on given the original description of the seller.
  24. Happy birthday b money
