I'm in...I have a Combustion that isn't bad, but I had to send two of them back because the bricked after one or two cooks with me babying them. The tow big issues I have with combustion are (1) I have had to result to covering the plastic end part in foil to protect from direct heat even with garde...

Monochrome and simple 36 mm 124270 Explorer I. This is a brand spanking new addition and the second iteration of the Explorer line for me, the first being the now discontinued and short lived 39 mm 214270 (Mk II dial version). The 124270 version has several things that made me want to own it inc...
If you are talking Shreveport upscale, either Zuzul, Fat Calf or Mabry House should be the first choice. From there you've got Superior Steakhouse/2 John's (steakhouse experience, opposite sides of the river). Honestly, If you are looking for something nice and haven't been to any of those in th...

Seeing if I can keep this alive with this now discontinued three hand sweeper - 39 mm OP in the white dial version. The forgotten size in the OP and a short production life 2015-2020. If you ask me the 36 mm version of this watch is about perfect (I would probably change the double baton markers at ...
I've bought cars in Arizona, California, Texas multiple times and most recently Missouri, and every time the dealership has collected taxes required based on my municipality in Louisiana, registered the car in Louisiana in my behalf and I would typically get a plate, registration and a little while ...
[quote]Anyone here ever go to the U.S. Open or see the top guys in person live? Experience worth doing?[/quote] Ticked Roland-Garros of the box last year (thanks to Pride for the ticket hookup). Thinking may get to NYC for the US this year. Absolutely worthwhile. ...
yeah, I think y'all are correct. Not out-right hostile, but def Paolini was the crowd favorite. I wonder what kind of headspace Alcaraz is gonna be in tomorrow? He need not start slow. Novak has had an amazingly fortuitous draw (his good fortune, nothing against him), but has seemed to me to hav...
I think part of the crowd at the end there was just wanting the match to continue, right? That was an enjoyable match and would've been even more fun with the 10 point breaker to finish off, had they gotten through the next couple of games. ...
I've had a rough year at the Championships this year as far as rooting interest goes and looks like I'm about to back the loser again. One last hope in Alcaraz tomorrow. ...

I'm gonna try to keep this thread afloat: IWC Fliegeruhr UTC from the good folks in Schaffhausen one of my collection that is 20+ years in my possession. Great size for a strap watch and supremely legible. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NzVpYutl.jpg[/img] ...
[quote]have the whole Houston area to shop or online is also an option[/quote] This is easy for someone living in Houston...if you don't want to go the AD route (this is a good "establish a relationship watch", but it may well take several months). The very easy answer is Takuya Watches. Very eas...
I like both these guys and hope the champion comes out of this match...find myself pulling for Med early. Not sure who has the better chance to beat Novak? ...
[quote]You never know.[/quote] Prophetic. Women's tennis.......
I wonder what the over/under of number of games for the final is going to be if Rybakina goes through? 17.5?...
It is the one that I will consistently watch, but then again, I love tennis period. I'll watch women's basketball when LSU is good and that's it. But I think women's tennis at its very highest levels is a pretty reasonable facsimile of the men's game, mostly at a lower speed - it's not like they str...
I listened to the third on BBC radio - what a treat, they are so prosaic in their sporting calls. Back on the TV, damn its frustrating to watch something like this unfold, but compelling at the same time. ...
Damn she (vekic) got the yips in the second set. I think the little Italian is going to have the composure to win this, though either will be a sacrificial lamb to Rybakina...
Could Djokovic have asked for a better couple of days? He will destroy Musetti in the Semis. That was a totally disappointing showing from Fritz. Damn I had high hopes. ...
