GYERO ARCHIVE

[buckethead1978]

That wasn’t a flex. I thought some places wouldn’t work on them. She has only ever taken it to the supposed only “Authorized” place in town and the price was a non-starter.

 

[jameslee32]

I’m legit only sharing in GYERO and doing so because I’m recognized as a leader around here and wish to promote public health awareness- which is necessary for some of you backwards dipshits. No offense.

Spelled backwoods rong...

 

[anthonys735]

Eh, it was kind of a flex. Maybe more of a humblebrag.

 

[PTI (pti)]

It’s absolutely silly what a high % of old men in my industry wear Rolexes. Even the ones who really don’t make that much money but evidently want to pretend they do. So yeah. I guess you can drop > $10,000 on a watch and still look #basic.

Currently rocking the Garmin Fenix 5, fwiw.

-nothing wrong with owning a nice watch. Holds value...more importantly life is short/can't take it with you. Enjoy yourself. Same with vacations and such.

-never been a rolex guy...too ubiquitous for my tastes(i know im an odd dude, bite me)10 years ago they were making 800,000 a year...but while they are not "rare/exclusive" they are incredible watches. Strong and easy resale/Durable/built like a tank/great looking.

 

[PTI (pti)]

They’re actually NOT very good looking at all, imho.

Anth or King Push?

(Watches are awful unless it’s a legitimate sporting application)

*insert pic of whatever ridiculous monstrosity Hyman is wearing today, while not scuba diving.

 

[drxman1]

How many Rolexes does Anth have?

I splurged once on a Tag after a hot night at the blackjack table. It’s nice, I’m good. Jewelry isn’t really my thing. My phone tells great time.

 

[wcc31]

I think a nice watch is pretty cool despite the fact that mine is $90. Some day perhaps.

 

[august-west]

August-west, are you a watch repair person?

Wife dropped her Rolex a few months ago. She got the repair price from the authorized dealer and it was crazy (5K). They said it had to be shipped off to Rolex for the repair. No way would we do that.

With that said, she has had the watch since graduating college and it has a lot of sentimental value. Will non-Rolex guys repair?

I sent you a pm

Unsolicited vouch for @august-west -- dude fixed up my diver watch a couple years back. Haven't had a problem since.

*edit: also cleaned up my great grandfather's Rockford pocketwatch, too.

Deal in confidence.

Thanks, Geese. Getting that old pocket watch running and cleaned up is my jam. Love it when I can get an old family piece up and going again.

My wife also dropped her Rolex once and I accidentally drove over it in my Bentley.

@august-west fixed it up.

I still get a hearty chuckle thinking about that. You were definitely more worried about the Bent

@august-west ...can you work on jaeger-lecoultre? I have a master calendar that needs attention.

Nope, way out of my league

After he finishes my Patek.

Still waiting on a part

-not kidding. I also have a ulysse nardin maxi marine chronometer that needs servicing.

...unless he really is working on your patek.

See my above response to the JL

 

[cawoodsct]

Took my watch to @august-west as well, didn’t know if he could get it back working because it’s a vintage watch but sure enough he did.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Watch/Clock repairmen are pretty cool, however.

August is the anti of the way they are portrayed in film - reclusive little miracle-working dudes grinding nonstop in a dark depressing space.

I picture him slamming Busch Light and ripping heaters while tinkering in between horse races.

-Xavier Pinson Gonna work us silly - dude is dope.

 

[august-west]

Also, the correct title of a watch/clock repairman is a Horologist. Figured the good Doc would like that useless piece of information.

1. White Face Date.

Wear my Garmin Venu on a daily basis. Copped that for free from Humana points.

 

[drxman1]

White Face...

Oh well, cheers to our basketball game tonight.

 

[Teriecat]

I am 65. I registered a few weeks ago when registration opened for 1-C. Here, we are still barely into 1-B. I received a form letter that basically said I am registered, but not to hold my breath because it is going to be quite some time. I will be notified when I can get an appointment but it could be even a couple of months.

Apparently the problem here is we have some resources and systems set up to vaccinate, but can’t get enough vaccine. So yeah. 🙃

Go Cats. 😋

 

[HymanKaplan]

I'm going to sell my vaccine slot on craigslist.

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Tuning into this game because I wrapped up work early and worked out this morning.

Really disconnected from this team and genuinely dgaf if we win or lose...

 

[Teriecat]

How about a little horse trading Mr essential educational personnel? 😉

 

[HymanKaplan]

Rolex is to watches as Lamborghini is to sports cars.

For pro athletes and the HS nerd that hit big with a .com

 

[HymanKaplan]

(Except for the Air King)

If your watch has a date cyclops, you might as well just write nouveau riche on your forehead.LOL

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Much improved...

 

[HymanKaplan]

Save yourself thousands and at least look like you have good taste. (and a mind of your own)

 

[catlanta33]

All watches > this team

 

[ukwizard]

1 for 7 yo

 

[Phil McKracken]

No way a dude that makes a 1,000 shots and works out in the gym until 2:00am each day shoots that bad. That story is bullshit.

 

[gobigbluebell]

Must be some sort of mistake? I don’t see Dontaie in the boxscore???

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I’m loving the tweak so far

 

[sinker16]

I've missed this

 

[drxman1]

Maybe when Cal said it wasn’t Covid, he really just meant this team is a disease.

 

[cawoodsct]

Oscar Tshiebwe just said on Twitter “I meant to say next years team is my team now”

 

[HymanKaplan]

How about a little horse trading Mr essential educational personnel? 😉

I'm not a teacher. Just a network engineer. We are most definitely "non-essential"

The amount of money that public education wastes on useless technology would make your toes curl. Several schools are now purchasing every staff member Microsoft Surface Pro 4's

It's malfeasance and a decadent waste of tax-payer money, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Public Education, in it's current form, is one of the worst things to happen to this country.

 

[ukalum01]

Anyone that thinks Cal is gonna change anything is nuts. We’ve played 3 bigs the entire first half.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Unfortunately, Allen appears to play about 20mph under the speed limit, in all phases of the game.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Never thought, in my lifetime, that I'd see the UK Football coach whipping our Basketball coach in literally every phase of coaching and program management. But here it is. Stoops is kicking Calipari's ass, and deserves a major share of Cal's salary.

Why doesn't he LEAVE already....

 

[SAECATFAN]

Everything will be fixed next year. Should be dope.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Forecast:

L

 

[HymanKaplan]

Brick, and get beat on the other end.

BJ Boston everybody.

 

[cawoodsct]

Allen with 5 minutes thus far. I’d play him 40 just so people wouldnt hate me. Calipari refuses to play his best shooter.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

On pace for right around our 60-64 ppg average.

You are who you are.
