Elko is a great fit for A&M, he's not going anywhere.

You keep telling yourself the Seamaster is better looking than the Submariner or GMT, lol. There is a reason you attempted to buy the Rolex first.
I went into Rolex first because it was closest to where I parked. I also went in knowing the game and that I wouldn’t be able to buy what I wanted. I went in to get on the waitlist.
I went into Omega with no intention of buying one, but wanted to look. I put on the one I bought and immediately knew it was the watch for me. Yes, I like the way it looks better than any Rolex I’ve ever had on my wrist.
The Rolex is a classic and clean design, but also a bit dated. The Omega diver is a more modern design in my opinion.
One of my hobbies is building mod watches. I’ve got a boat load of watches and my favorites that I wear are based on Omega designs.

If they would have had the one you wanted in stock then you would not feel this way. So yes confirmed butthurt
Simpleton, they did have it in stock. It was literally on my wrist for about 15 minutes. They probably had one in the safe too, but that’s the Rolex game.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand that though.

Congrats on your new Seamaster. Did you get the diver and what color dial?
Thanks, yes I got the diver in summer blue

Sound butt hurt cause you didn’t get your Rolex
Not at all, just kinda turned me off to the brand with how they do business. I'm quite happy with the purchase I made and I like it a lot better than what I was looking for from Rolex.

I knew how it worked going in, but stopped by the Rolex dealer near me over the weekend. Told the sales associate I was looking for a submariner or GMT. As expected, they had none available, so she tried steering me to a datejust they did have available for $30k. Not even close to what I was asking for.
Ended up putting me on the waitlist for what I wanted with no estimated ETA and couldn't tell me where I was on the list for the ones I requested. I doubt I ever get the call and really don't want a Rolex after getting a taste of how it works.
I walked 2 blocks down and bought an Omega Seamaster instead. No wait, got exactly what I wanted, and it's a better looking watch.
I realized after that while wearing the rolex, I was enamored by the name and heritage. When I put on the Omega, I loved the watch.
You can't tell me that Rolex doesn't produce enough watches to meet the demand. I refuse to go grey market and pay the markup as well. The rolex business model has created the grey market. It wouldn't exist the way it does if they didn't play games with selling you the watch you want.

Have any of you been there and played it? I talked my wife into going next year and want to get it booked before she changes her mind. Curious if it's worth it and would you go back?
I'm no expert on this by any means, but bounce plays a big factor in your wedges. I play a 52 and 56 fine, but can't hit my 60 to save my life. I started looking into it and my 52 and 56 are both 10 degree bounce, my 60 is 8. I'm probably going to pick up a 60 in 10 to see if I can play it better.
That said, I hit Vokeys, TM MG4, and Clevelands. I personally liked the feel of the Cleveland RTZ a lot better than the others I've tried. It has a softer feel to me. Despite how bad my control is, I'm noticeably better with the Clevelands than the others too. Vokey and TM felt like it popped off the face more to me.

Mine was at 90 last weekend and that's getting warm for me. I prefer it around 83-85.

It's the majors, there are literally 29 teams of analyst studying his every move and metric humanly possible. They know every percentage and tendency he has had for the last 10 years and are feeding all that data to the people that have to face him. It happens to every pitcher, he will be fine.
Ole Miss is trying to out aggie the aggots over hiring Kiffin. I've never seen the leadership of an entire organization this butt hurt.
That said, people are held to the contracts they sign on a daily basis. It was only a matter of time before this happened in the NIL era, it just happened to be these salty bastards.

I don't disagree with anything you said.
I'll add the show Yellowstone to the list too. I tried watching it and made it about 20 minutes into the first episode before I lost all interest. Constant drama is mind numbing.

re: Is hobby card collecting worth it right now?
Posted by pickle311 on 7/26/26 at 8:53 pm to crimsoncoded94
I got back into it when Skenes and Crews was drafted. I was chasing their rookie cards to put away. What I learned during that time is that the hobby is seriously broken. The cost of buying boxes to chase a card is stupid and inflated by the potential of a couple players. Then the base cards are trash, the only things people care about are the numbered cards. And that is fake as well. They created demand and exclusivity by making cards in limited numbers, but at the same time print the same card in 10 different colors and number them individually as well. So most of the time, your 1 of 1 is actually just 1 of that color and there's 5,000 of the same exact card with a different color boarder.
Collecting has been building since covid and prices are stupid for some of these cards, especially the hot rookies. You have HOF players whose cards aren't worth much, but then you have a rookie who hasn't done anything pulling crazy money.
These prices won't last, I personally believe the bubble is going to pop again like it did when we were kids.
That said, I have some cards I picked up pre covid boom that are in my safe Ive considered selling. I don't know that they will ever be worth more than they are now.
