These and more items can be found on my github page which also provides cross references for feedback.
- Pricing is firm, and is through PayPal F&F.
- For at least today (6/6/23) I will take G&S payments too. Just add 5% to the price.
- CONUS shipping is included (cheapest USPS option)
- Individual/closer up photos are linked to from each item.
- PLEASE don't use "chat". Please send a PM, here is a link to compose a PM if you are on mobile or don't know what the difference is. I will not often even see that I have a chat waiting.
Headphones
- NIB Corsair Void RGB Elite USB $40 Completely sealed, a kind gift but not one I have a use for.
IEMs and earbuds
- Sealed - LZ A6 $140 Looks like it sold at Penon or Linsoul for $310 when it was available, asking $140 sealed. Lots of nozzles to change tuning with, and a built in gain switch.
- Sealed - NiceHCK NX7 Pro $75 As with any of these sealed sets, sorry I can't give an impression of the sound.
- NF Audio NE4 Revolution $240 with box/accessories (incl. promotional poster!) and all stock tuning plates plus a rare 4th tuning plate.
- ANew X-One 1DD, 4BA, 3 tuning chips $140 These are being sold for over $300 new elsewhere. Used for 30 minutes.
- Audio Technica LS200 $50 Warm sounding 2 BA set with memory wire ear guides, in red. Note: these use A2DC, not MMCX. Comes wtih 2 cables, one with mic one without.
- Sealed - 1More quad-driver in-ear earphones $60 trying to price at 1/2 or below of new price, and these are still sold/in stock on Amazon and from 1More
- Sealed - Tin T2 Pro $20 or $15 bundled
- Sealed - Tin T2 Plus $30 or bundle for $25
- Tangzu Wan'Er$15 or bundle for 10 For some reason I pictured it with the wrong cable, but it will come with its stock cable.
- Moondrop Lan $25 or add on for $20
- Hifiman RE-262 $50 A pretty ancient set by now, but very natural/neutral/I like the mids. Comes in a pretty dope case with cable extension choices and tips. Can be worn down or up. Unusual appearance!
- HBB Blon Z300$28 or $25 as add on. Barely listened to, despite being a huge Blon03 fan for some reason this wasn't really my jam.
- Tin HiFi P1 $80 or $75 as add on. These need some power to sing, but have a great flat response that even so has good bass levels, does have sub-bass roll-off. Carrying box and accessories (one set of silicone tips missing, I think the L size).
- Sealed - RevoNext NEX202 open-back earphones $20 or bundle for $15
- KBEar F1 $10 each, or $6 each as add-ons. Single BA. Amber has 1 pair of tips missing, smokey has everything.
- NF Audio NM2 $50 with box/accessories.
- Tin Hifi C2 "Mech Warrior" $15 or add on for $10. Boxed and accessories.
- Sealed - Edifier H180 earbuds Yours for the cost of shipping, or free added on.
Wireless buds and TWS
- Noble Falcon Pro TWS $125 no damage anywhere, full accessories except for tips, no tips.
- Mifo O7 $45 These are the version with the CNT dynamic driver. I highly recommend them for sound, comfort, and quality of build. The case alone is a step up from competitors. Comes with accessories incl. charge cable, box, tips.
- Aukey EP-T32 $15 or add-on for 10. Box, case, tips included, no cable. Powerbeats Pro form factor.
- Apple/Beats Studio Buds $40 Excellent condition, no tips but I can try to find something generic to include. As shown, warranty is active until 9/7/23.
- Sony MDR-EX750BT $25 or add-on for $20. This form-factor has fallen out of vogue but it's actually still very practical/comfortable. Easy to take buds out and put them back in without keeping track of them. Appearance and sound remind me of MH750MH755, which is hinted at in the model name too.
Sources (DAC/DAP/AMP)
- JDS Labs OL DAC $45 No blemishes or issues to mention, comes with power brick.
- F.Audio XS-02 $75 I love this player. It has an AKM4490 chip and great dynamics. I love the clicky buttons. You can swap the op-amps out very easily. It has a low and high gain port (both 3.5mm) and takes MicroSD cards and uses MicroUSB for charging. Holds a very good charge.
- VentureCraft SounDroid Valoq $100 I would recommend a new battery for this (circa $20 on AliX). A really fun player, a very firm powevolume knob, a jog wheel for navigation, balanced output, very sturdy, op-amps can be easily swapped using a hatch in the back. Condition is showing wear, including scuffs to the screen. Hopefully it goes to a collector who plans to use it. AKM4490 chip.
Accessories
- Massive foam/gel selection of eartips $45 or $40 bundled. Completely unused Monster gel sets, several sealed Comply foams (all L), some Newbees, some hybrid (seem to be L) and some sealed silicones too for good measure.
- Youkamoo 4.4mm to XLR balanced cable 12 OR $8 as an add-on. Nothing to really add here!
2023.06.06 17:24 Fun_Locksmith7501 Tips for Grinding Gems?
Hey! So I’ve decided to dedicate one of my char slots to grinding gems as I wanna unlock ability slots etc on my other char(s).
I was wondering what you guys do in terms of gear for these characters. A rare/epic set at lev 10, 15, 20 etc.

2023.06.06 17:14 AffectionateItem9462 Hoarding Parents Pest Problem
Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me with my parents’ and their unwillingness to do something about pests in their home. They have more than one species of insect infesting their home but they refuse to do something about it. I’m very concerned because currently one of the types of bugs that they are living with is one that will destroy textiles and other things in their home. The bugs can also aggravate allergies, cause respiratory problems and/or cause an allergy to the type of insect itself due to overexposure. Both of my parents already have general allergies. It just doesn’t seem very healthy.
I have seen bug carcasses all around their home and even larvae so I know that they are infested. They refuse to clean or do anything to get rid of the problem. They won’t hire an exterminator and are paranoid (for lack of a better term) about spraying (they seem to think that the bug spray is going to hurt them) but also don’t want to use diatomaceous earth because they don’t like having dirt everywhere. My mother complains that she can’t breathe or something whenever my dad tries to spray but I think she is just being dramatic and exaggerating. They are also worried about the spray hurting the dog even though I’ve told them that they can just go somewhere with the dog for a few hours and come back later once the spray is dried or have the dog go to a pet hotel or something since they’ve had her stay there before when they’ve gone on vacation.
They are more concerned with how things will look (diatomaceous earth creating dirt) than getting rid of the problem. I have even suggested them hiring someone to come and heat up the home to a really high temperature to kill off the bugs that way because I’ve read that that is also an option but they won’t consider that either. They keep acting like they don’t have time, won’t even take off a day or two of work to do something (clean, spray, anything) or have an exterminator come. Is there some way to make them understand why this is not something that they should just be allowing to continue?
My father seems to think that people in the past just lived with such problems and it was just normal or something. He doesn’t seem to understand that living outside is different than living in a home that is infested. They are completely ignoring the problem and almost seem to be living in denial about it.
They often don’t believe me when I tell them about the carcasses, larvae or actual bugs themselves that I’ve seen unless I show them and sometimes not even then because if I send them a photo they often just never see it or look at it. Instead of doing something about the problem they redo their front yard or buy a brand new tv for their patio. I don’t understand why they will not just hire an exterminator and I do believe that some underlying hoarding issues may be what’s contributing to this because they rarely clean and always have stuff everywhere. There is always a ton of stuff around their house.
They seriously act as if they are helpless to do anything whenever I bring it up. I don’t understand why they don’t make this a priority and use the funds that they spent on redoing their front yard or buying a brand new tv for their patio towards an exterminator or something instead of spending it on stuff that isn’t even necessary. They get mad too if I say anything, even if I am trying to be gentle about it. They just seem to think I am just criticizing them or calling their home messy. Is there anything that I can do?

2023.06.06 16:56 entrantmentofevil What does everyone think about bootlegs
For me it depends. If it's just a outright copy of an official release then obviously I'd prefer the real deal. But if they made it really special with unreleased songs or something, sick ass artwork, band photos etc, of course I'd buy that. Reek Of Death Records comes to mind.
Like the Necrovore - Abysmal Plains Of Hell bootleg that compiles both their demos and a live recording and comes with sick ass artwork and rare band photos. I'd be all over that but Necrovore doesn't do much for me personally.

2023.06.06 16:49 Mediocre-Bullfrog-38 comments on a video about incurable cancer
 | Here’s the deal: I have a close friend with a very rare brain tumor. But it’s on the brain stem, which means that it is inoperable, won’t respond to treatment, and she was terminal the moment she was diagnosed. And it typically only affects children, birth to about age 12. submitted by Mediocre-Bullfrog-38 to religiousfruitcake [link] [comments] There is NO survival from this cancer. I was looking up videos and stories from other families who have dealt with it, and most of them were these sweet remembrance videos of their children and stuff, which is amazing and great and I love that they have found a way to positively channel their grief. And then there was this one video. It was something along the lines of, “Miracle child recovers from tumor! No trace left!” Cool, right? NO. The tumor wasn’t gone, it had shrunk to the point that they couldn’t detect it on an MRI. She was perfectly fine in the video, riding horses and playing. But she was gone in a few months. And there was this one comment under that video, that was like “the lord saves all! bless the lord!” and the rest of the thread is in the photos. I swear, the third slide gave me whiplash the first time I read it. It’s infuriating because of the HYPOCRISY. If they had done an ounce of reading, they would have found that this cancer can’t disappear. And then they ridicule others for not believing in god because clearly, this little girl was okay now! My friend is dying and I’ve heard all sorts of crap about “prayers for her recovery” or “jesus will save her, I just know it.” I’m so tired of it. Rest in Peace to the girl in the video and to my friend. I wish peace and acceptance for their families. 🩷 |
2023.06.06 16:41 Lemonandlime999 Understanding my neuroses
I struggle to conceptualise my mental illness and know (a) what it is and (b) how serious or unusual it is. As in, I don’t know whether I’m crazy or not, and how crazy I am on the crazy scale, and what kind of crazy am I?
So I will try to conceptualise it and write it down here. I don’t know why I can’t put this experience into words. I struggle understanding and comprehending others, which makes me feel like I can’t connect to them. That there’s something missing. And I really struggle to understand how I am perceived by others. I think this is connected to the fact that I can’t comprehend how other people have different mental experiences.
It’s like their behaviour is so foreign to me that I can’t comprehend why they would do it, or more specifically, what headspace they could be in that would allow them to act this way.
I think/feel like this even to small extents over people’s different mannerisms, tone of voice, wants and wishes, likes and dislikes. But I am especially sensitive to this when I see someone act in a way that goes against my values, such as hurting others, not caring for others, taking advantage of others. Another example that really confuses me is humour and acting. I listen to comedians and watch comedies and I cannot for the life of me understand how someone thinks of these jokes and these scenarios and executes the performance so well and in such a perfectly humorous way. Even just seeing an actor who’s really good at their role, I feel this way. How do they manage to be so smooth talking and so likeable or funny or suave, when I can’t even do those things in real life? Oh my gosh, one last example of this. I feel like I can’t create; I can’t design a beautiful thing, space, or artwork. I can’t take good photos or present amazing food or curate a flawless Instagram. Because I just literally don’t “have it”. I want to be able to be artistic and would love to even be an artist, but I don’t feel like I’m capable of it. No matter how many photos I take, I can’t get one that I really like. Whether it’s a photo of me or something else, I just can’t take photos like other people do. Because I don’t understand what they understand. There’s a way, a method, that they can figure out intuitively. But I can’t. I can recognise that what I create is not beautiful, but I don’t know how to get better. I can recognise a beautiful photo of someone else, but I can’t recognise myself It feels like somethings missing. That I lack some kind of a social skill or social understanding that others have. I read what I’ve written now and I can’t tell how another person would perceive this. I don’t know whether I would be perceived as psychotic, unwell, or just a little quirky. I don’t know whether it’s insane and rare or whether other people also have these experiences and feelings.
I think the fact that I don’t see other people feel this or express that they feel this disconnect makes me also feel very alone. Because the only mindset I can totally understand and relate to is one that does lead me to these thoughts, and I can’t imagine people not having these thoughts. So when they don’t have them, I feel separate, alone, and unusual.
The fact that I can’t picture myself in other’s situations is really scary to me because then I can’t predict other people. I don’t know whether to trust them. But that’s only part of it. It’s also just sad to me because I really enjoy that feeling when you share something in common with another person.
If you like very nearly the same type of music, if you have the same value, if you have the same thoughts and have the same conclusions, it feels amazing. It feels like they ‘get’ you and you get them.
I think, best case scenario, is that what I’m experiencing are normal thoughts but I am taking them more seriously and interpreting these normal thoughts as abnormal. This would make a lot of sense because I have always been worried about being abnormal, and so I am in high alert for features of myself that may be abnormal.
Another thing that hurts and confuses me is that other people see me as quirky. I’m not trying to be quirky, I’m not trying to be ‘weird’ or silly or odd. I don’t want to be seen like that. While I don’t think there’s anything objectively wrong with it, my experience of bullying and growing up “in a society” has made me come to hate weirdness in myself.
Lately I have been trying to embrace this weirdness. It has been hard. But I am trying to be less hard on myself when I’m not perfect. I’m trying to accept myself for who I am. I’m trying to tell myself that being weird is okay, even it was forced on me and not an option.
In summary: - I deeply deeply wish that I was socially more skilled and more likeable than I am - I feel unworthy, not good enough, “lacking” in something when I feel a disconnection between myself and the other person, because if I wasn’t those things then I would be able to understand the other person better and make a good impression.
These thoughts do really impact me and contribute an extreme amount to my social anxiety—this worry of not knowing what to say and embarrassing myself because I can’t think as quick as others can in social situations.
This fundamental belief that at my core, I am flawed and broken.
———
Another moment just then. The idea that people can describe a similar experience to me but don’t seem to be experiencing my experience. For instance, when I crush on someone I REALLY crush on them and I get extremely insecure and heartbroken if I think they’ve abandoned me and don’t want to talk to me anymore or aren’t interested in me. And that is always paired with having a crush, so much so that I can’t tell having a crush apart from having such cripplingly intense obsession over them and anxiety that it will all go wrong. Other people don’t seem to experience this when they say they have a crush, and I just can’t relate or understand how. I don’t understand how people can have such a separate experience to me that it makes me realise there is an untainted version of love and care involving security and contentment. This is a version that I don’t believe I am capable of attaining, because it’s so foreign to me. And when other people experience this, they feel separate to me too.

Other people don’t seem to experience this when they say they have a crush, and I just can’t relate or understand how. I don’t understand how people can have such a separate experience to me that it makes me realise there is an untainted version of love and care involving security and contentment. This is a version that I don’t believe I am capable of attaining, because it’s so foreign to me. And when other people experience this, they feel separate to me too.
2023.06.06 16:40 Lemonandlime999 Trying to understand my neuroses
I struggle to conceptualise my mental illness and know (a) what it is and (b) how serious or unusual it is. As in, I don’t know whether I’m crazy or not, and how crazy I am on the crazy scale, and what kind of crazy am I?
So I will try to conceptualise it and write it down here. I don’t know why I can’t put this experience into words. I struggle understanding and comprehending others, which makes me feel like I can’t connect to them. That there’s something missing. And I really struggle to understand how I am perceived by others. I think this is connected to the fact that I can’t comprehend how other people have different mental experiences.
It’s like their behaviour is so foreign to me that I can’t comprehend why they would do it, or more specifically, what headspace they could be in that would allow them to act this way.
I think/feel like this even to small extents over people’s different mannerisms, tone of voice, wants and wishes, likes and dislikes. But I am especially sensitive to this when I see someone act in a way that goes against my values, such as hurting others, not caring for others, taking advantage of others. Another example that really confuses me is humour and acting. I listen to comedians and watch comedies and I cannot for the life of me understand how someone thinks of these jokes and these scenarios and executes the performance so well and in such a perfectly humorous way. Even just seeing an actor who’s really good at their role, I feel this way. How do they manage to be so smooth talking and so likeable or funny or suave, when I can’t even do those things in real life? Oh my gosh, one last example of this. I feel like I can’t create; I can’t design a beautiful thing, space, or artwork. I can’t take good photos or present amazing food or curate a flawless Instagram. Because I just literally don’t “have it”. I want to be able to be artistic and would love to even be an artist, but I don’t feel like I’m capable of it. No matter how many photos I take, I can’t get one that I really like. Whether it’s a photo of me or something else, I just can’t take photos like other people do. Because I don’t understand what they understand. There’s a way, a method, that they can figure out intuitively. But I can’t. I can recognise that what I create is not beautiful, but I don’t know how to get better. I can recognise a beautiful photo of someone else, but I can’t recognise myself It feels like somethings missing. That I lack some kind of a social skill or social understanding that others have. I read what I’ve written now and I can’t tell how another person would perceive this. I don’t know whether I would be perceived as psychotic, unwell, or just a little quirky. I don’t know whether it’s insane and rare or whether other people also have these experiences and feelings.
I think the fact that I don’t see other people feel this or express that they feel this disconnect makes me also feel very alone. Because the only mindset I can totally understand and relate to is one that does lead me to these thoughts, and I can’t imagine people not having these thoughts. So when they don’t have them, I feel separate, alone, and unusual.
The fact that I can’t picture myself in other’s situations is really scary to me because then I can’t predict other people. I don’t know whether to trust them. But that’s only part of it. It’s also just sad to me because I really enjoy that feeling when you share something in common with another person.
If you like very nearly the same type of music, if you have the same value, if you have the same thoughts and have the same conclusions, it feels amazing. It feels like they ‘get’ you and you get them.
I think, best case scenario, is that what I’m experiencing are normal thoughts but I am taking them more seriously and interpreting these normal thoughts as abnormal. This would make a lot of sense because I have always been worried about being abnormal, and so I am in high alert for features of myself that may be abnormal.
Another thing that hurts and confuses me is that other people see me as quirky. I’m not trying to be quirky, I’m not trying to be ‘weird’ or silly or odd. I don’t want to be seen like that. While I don’t think there’s anything objectively wrong with it, my experience of bullying and growing up “in a society” has made me come to hate weirdness in myself.
Lately I have been trying to embrace this weirdness. It has been hard. But I am trying to be less hard on myself when I’m not perfect. I’m trying to accept myself for who I am. I’m trying to tell myself that being weird is okay, even it was forced on me and not an option.
In summary: - I deeply deeply wish that I was socially more skilled and more likeable than I am - I feel unworthy, not good enough, “lacking” in something when I feel a disconnection between myself and the other person, because if I wasn’t those things then I would be able to understand the other person better and make a good impression.
These thoughts do really impact me and contribute an extreme amount to my social anxiety—this worry of not knowing what to say and embarrassing myself because I can’t think as quick as others can in social situations.
This fundamental belief that at my core, I am flawed and broken.
———
Another moment just then. The idea that people can describe a similar experience to me but don’t seem to be experiencing my experience. For instance, when I crush on someone I REALLY crush on them and I get extremely insecure and heartbroken if I think they’ve abandoned me and don’t want to talk to me anymore or aren’t interested in me. And that is always paired with having a crush, so much so that I can’t tell having a crush apart from having such cripplingly intense obsession over them and anxiety that it will all go wrong.

2023.06.06 14:28 ThrowRA2944 F 43 and M43 am i being taken for a ride
I(f43) am in an open relationship I am seeing another man (M43) also married but not in open relationship and in a dead bedroom situation We met at work, he left and we met again and sparks flew. We have unbelievable sexual chemistry!! Now here is where things don't sit well with me and i am super confused
1.He doesn't take my calls as he and his wife both work from home and the wife apparently monitors all his calls so i can't call when he is working from home. So then i asked how about when he is outside. He barely calls me when he is out and does only if i beg too many times. My thing is he doesn't want to call me and i feel sad about it. We have fought a lot about this.
i feel sad and never listened to and often think about breaking up but can't find the strength... What do you guys think is happening here

- He wants us to text and i get the feeling that he rarely reads what i write. He doesn't even answer many times... Or answers to one thing only.
- His love for his wife is something that honestly makes me feel jealous and insecure..like we were 2 months into the realtionship and then one day I woke up to WhatsApp stories with lovely doodle describing every little detail about his wife and a million cute photos.. this was the same guy who was talking about divorcing his wife two weeks back..this was him celebrating her birthday. Oh and he forgot my birthday and ofcourse didn't call me and called me when i asked.. He tells me i am his priority and the moment he goes home he is like " are you kidding. She is my priority" If i confront and remind him what he told me he fights with me and ghosts me and then threatens to break up.
i feel sad and never listened to and often think about breaking up but can't find the strength... What do you guys think is happening here
2023.06.06 14:12 dreftzg [Daily News] Citizen Surprises With Smaller 37mm Promaster Diver Collection, Zodiac Unveils Two New Incredible Colors To the Super Sea Wolf Diver, And Nomos Teams Up With Wempe For An Icy Blue Dialed Tangente
Should we call this big news Tuesday? Both the Citizen and the Zodiac are nice!
Citizen Surprises With New, Smaller, 37mm Promaster Diver Collection
If I were a betting man, I would put the Citizen Promaster line at the very top of divers when it comes to popularity. It is not an expansive collection of watches like Seiko tends to do, and it is an absolute bargain if you are looking for a tough sports watch that will take a beating. However, the line of people who could never wear one is just as long, if not even longer, due to the size of the watch - 44mm is just a huge watch. Well, no longer. Citizen just announced a new Promaster Diver line in 37mm in three colors - black, blue and pink.
Despite shrinking down the watch below 37mm (and 11.6mm thick), the Citizen Promaster remains a capable diver with 200m water resistance. Actually, it retains most of the functionality and looks of the bigger watch. It still has the very recognizable hands, a 4:30 date window, dive time bezel and the legendary rubber strap. Inside the watch is the Eco-Drive E168 movement which is solar powered and gets you six months of power without the need for light exposure.
All three variations – black, blue, and pink (with a rose gold-toned steel case) – will set you back $375.
This watch comes at a perfect time where a lot of watchmakers are skewing smaller to keep up with changing tastes from consumers. To have such a popular watch in such an appealing package and at such a price, this will have to be a huge hit for Citizen.

Zodiac Unveils Two New Incredible Colors To the Super Sea Wolf Compression Diver
Most divers are a sea of blues and blacks, with the occasional silver and a splash of color. Zodiac has a different philosophy. They are on a mission to create the most colorful and out-there diver. And boy, are they good at it. Now they’re introducing two new core colorways into its Super Sea Wolf Compression collection - the Seafoam, obviously a seafoam green with black, white, and a touch of orange, and the Gulf, which takes on the classic light blue, orange, and silver colorway of the Gulf oil company which served as one of the most iconic racing car livery ever.
Both models feature the same 41mm × 13.4mm steel case with a water resistance rating of 200m, and both have the STP 1-11 movement inside. The Gulf model comes on a five-row stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp and a spring-loaded extension while the Seafoam has a color matching tropic-style rubber strap with a pin buckle.
The Gulf has a light blue bezel with an orange minute track that frames a bright silver dial. If the photo’s of this watch look familiar, it’s because this is a callback to the vintage Zodiac Sea Wolf 1781W, one of the most desirable Zodiac models. While this watch is up from the original’s 35mm, it’s still a close-enough recreation that it makes for a good alternative.
The Seafoam also leans vintage, not so much into the Zodiac back catalogue, but rather into popular culture of the late 50’s and the guitars, fridges and cars that came in an almost identical color. The watch has a seafoam green dial, matching strap, a black bezel, and a pop of orange on the minute hand.
Both models are available for purchase now and the new ZO9304 “Gulf”on steel costs US$1,595, while the ZO9305 “Seafoam” on rubber will set you back US$1,295.

Zenith Blings Up The New Defy Skyline Skeleton With Just Enough Gold
The Zenith El Primero movements really are iconic and Zenith knows this. I guess that’s the reason why they are making some of the best skeleton watches today. Following the earlier Defy Skyline Skeleton model which featured symmetrical black and blue open dials with a four-pointed star formed by the cut-out and the Defy Skyline Boutique Edition with silvery-grey finishes, zenith is now releasing a new Defy Skyline Boutique Edition, this one with subtle touches of gold that make the watch even better.
Just like the previous models, this new skeletonized Defy comes in an angular-shaped 41 mm case with a 12-sided, faceted bezel inspired by the Defy models from past times and a screw-down crown. The colorway, as mentioned, is similar to the previous model with silver-grey finishes, but it also has a slightly darker chapter ring and applied gold-plated baton hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova, and matching hour and minute hands, only now there’s less dial and more movement.
Inside the watch, visible through the dial, is the El Primero 3620 SK, with the 3620 as a base, reworked, featuring the 1/10th of a second sub-dial at 6 o’clock, right on top of the watch’s 5Hz escapement, and it comes without the date indication. It has a stop-second feature for accurate time setting and a power reserve of 55 hours. The watch comes on either a steel bracelet or a rubber strap with a starry sky pattern.
The watch costs CHF 10,900, which, all things considering, looks like a very fair price.

Nomos Teams Up With Wempe For An Icy Blue Dialed Tangente For Hot Summer Days
There seem to be two trends this summer in watches. One is something that Zodiac is embracing fully - going all out on color; while the other is one specific color that we have now seen on several watches - ice blue, a color that seems to be the color of the summer. Nomos has teamed up with famous retailer Wempe to create a special edition Tangente Neomatik Update 41 for Wempe Signature Collection in this exact color.
It’s still a Tangente Neomatik. This means a 41mm stainless steel case that’s only 7.9mm thick with straight and angled lugs. The narrow bezel that holds the sapphire crystal serves as a visual trick to make the watch look much larger than it is. The main difference comes from the dial and it’s ice-blue dial, whose light tones are offset by blued hands and black indices and numerals. The darker blue colour is also found on the date complication, which shows each date through cutout sections in between the date digits on the outer rim of the dial.
The reason for the date being displayed in this unique fashion is the Calibre DUW 6101 inside the watch. To keep it as thin as possible and not have to stack the date disc on the movement, Nomos moved the date disc outside of the outer edge of the movement. The date can also be adjusted in both directions through the crown, while the movement itself stores 42 hours of power reserve. The watch comes on a very nice blue-black textile strap with a stainless steel pin buckle
This is a limited edition of 200 pieces, all of which are exclusively sold through Wempe’s showrooms for a price of EUR 3,400.

The New Credor Goldfeather Is An Uncommon, Pricey And Gorgeous Option For A Dress Watch That Will Be Hard To Get
From 1960 to 1969, Grand Seiko was Seiko’s top brand, both in quality and price. However, with the advent of quartz watches, Grand Seiko was dethroned as the most expensive watches. In 1974, Seiko separated their most high-end quartz watches into a line called Crêts d’Or, which literally means Golden Crests, but «Crêts» is a french word that applies more specifically to the summits of the Jura Mountains, a chain of mountains spreading between France and Switzerland, known to be the birthplace of watchmaking.
After alternating the name between Crêts d’Or and Credor a few times, Seiko finally settled on Credor (Credor and Crêts d’or have the exact same pronunciation in French) in 1978 but it still was just a separate line of watches within Seiko’s catalog and was branded with a simple SEIKO logo below the 12 o’clock position. In 1978, Credor became its own brand, with the dial that said Credor Seiko. Since then Grand Seiko and Credor have been the pinnacle of Seiko watchmaking.
It’s not often that you get to se a Credor watch, and they are even more rare outside of Japan. However, the folks over at Fratello have dug up a new, very interesting, release from Credor - the new Credor Goldfeather. The Gold Feather, as Seiko spelled it at launch, is a watch from 1960 which focused on absolute thinness. With the hand-wound caliber 60M it was just 2.95mm thick and was all the more impressive because it had a central seconds hand.
The reissue, named the Credor Goldfeather is thin, but not that thin. The 18k gold case measures 37.1mm wide and 7.7 thick. The watches are powered by the hand-winding 6890 caliber. The 6890 is just 1.98mm thick, and in this watch, the movement is attached directly to the case to keep the thickness to a minimum. However, the new Credor does not have a seconds hand.
The Credor Goldfeather will come in two variants. The first model, reference GBBY982, is in 18K yellow gold limited edition of just 30 pieces. The second model, reference GBBY980, is in 18K rose gold and will be a regular-production piece. The limited yellow gold model has a sunburst brushed dial with engraved hour indices, minute track, and Credor name. On the rose gold variant, Credor chose to use applied indices and a painted logo.
Reference GBBY982 will be released on July 8th in Japan as a pre-sale with availability in April 2024 at the Credor shop. Pricing is not for the faint of heart at approximately €22,700. For the reference GBBY980 pre-orders start on August 11th in Japan and also available in April 2024 in the Credor shop. Pricing is slightly less at roughly €22,000.

All of those features would be nothing if it didn’t have a good base, and the Stella Breslin’s linen dial is breathtaking. Linen dials are a little bit of a lost art in watchmaking, although there’s nothing in theory which makes them more difficult than any other highly textured pattern. The Classic Blue is richer than the Felix’s Dress Blue, and is paired with crisp white lume instead of the cream colour. There’s a Silver dial which almost looks made of polished meteorite, and would be best suited to more formal situations. The most fun option however is the Raspberry dial, hovering somewhere between a hot pink and a crimson red. It’s a truly great colour that you don’t see very often in other watches which boast pink or red dials, making it a unique display of personality.

Nomos has teamed up with famous retailer Wempe to create a special edition Tangente Neomatik Update 41 for Wempe Signature Collection in this exact color.
It’s still a Tangente Neomatik. This means a 41mm stainless steel case that’s only 7.9mm thick with straight and angled lugs. The narrow bezel that holds the sapphire crystal serves as a visual trick to make the watch look much larger than it is. The main difference comes from the dial and it’s ice-blue dial, whose light tones are offset by blued hands and black indices and numerals. The darker blue colour is also found on the date complication, which shows each date through cutout sections in between the date digits on the outer rim of the dial.
The reason for the date being displayed in this unique fashion is the Calibre DUW 6101 inside the watch. To keep it as thin as possible and not have to stack the date disc on the movement, Nomos moved the date disc outside of the outer edge of the movement. The date can also be adjusted in both directions through the crown, while the movement itself stores 42 hours of power reserve. The watch comes on a very nice blue-black textile strap with a stainless steel pin buckle
This is a limited edition of 200 pieces, all of which are exclusively sold through Wempe’s showrooms for a price of EUR 3,400.

The New Credor Goldfeather Is An Uncommon, Pricey And Gorgeous Option For A Dress Watch That Will Be Hard To Get
From 1960 to 1969, Grand Seiko was Seiko’s top brand, both in quality and price. However, with the advent of quartz watches, Grand Seiko was dethroned as the most expensive watches. In 1974, Seiko separated their most high-end quartz watches into a line called Crêts d’Or, which literally means Golden Crests, but «Crêts» is a french word that applies more specifically to the summits of the Jura Mountains, a chain of mountains spreading between France and Switzerland, known to be the birthplace of watchmaking.
After alternating the name between Crêts d’Or and Credor a few times, Seiko finally settled on Credor (Credor and Crêts d’or have the exact same pronunciation in French) in 1978 but it still was just a separate line of watches within Seiko’s catalog and was branded with a simple SEIKO logo below the 12 o’clock position. In 1978, Credor became its own brand, with the dial that said Credor Seiko. Since then Grand Seiko and Credor have been the pinnacle of Seiko watchmaking.
It’s not often that you get to se a Credor watch, and they are even more rare outside of Japan. However, the folks over at Fratello have dug up a new, very interesting, release from Credor - the new Credor Goldfeather. The Gold Feather, as Seiko spelled it at launch, is a watch from 1960 which focused on absolute thinness. With the hand-wound caliber 60M it was just 2.95mm thick and was all the more impressive because it had a central seconds hand.
The reissue, named the Credor Goldfeather is thin, but not that thin. The 18k gold case measures 37.1mm wide and 7.7 thick. The watches are powered by the hand-winding 6890 caliber. The 6890 is just 1.98mm thick, and in this watch, the movement is attached directly to the case to keep the thickness to a minimum. However, the new Credor does not have a seconds hand.
The Credor Goldfeather will come in two variants. The first model, reference GBBY982, is in 18K yellow gold limited edition of just 30 pieces. The second model, reference GBBY980, is in 18K rose gold and will be a regular-production piece. The limited yellow gold model has a sunburst brushed dial with engraved hour indices, minute track, and Credor name. On the rose gold variant, Credor chose to use applied indices and a painted logo.
Reference GBBY982 will be released on July 8th in Japan as a pre-sale with availability in April 2024 at the Credor shop. Pricing is not for the faint of heart at approximately €22,700. For the reference GBBY980 pre-orders start on August 11th in Japan and also available in April 2024 in the Credor shop. Pricing is slightly less at roughly €22,000.

Watch Worthy - A look at an offbeat, less known watch you might actually like
The Stella Breslin revives the linen dial for the here and nowAll of those features would be nothing if it didn’t have a good base, and the Stella Breslin’s linen dial is breathtaking. Linen dials are a little bit of a lost art in watchmaking, although there’s nothing in theory which makes them more difficult than any other highly textured pattern. The Classic Blue is richer than the Felix’s Dress Blue, and is paired with crisp white lume instead of the cream colour. There’s a Silver dial which almost looks made of polished meteorite, and would be best suited to more formal situations. The most fun option however is the Raspberry dial, hovering somewhere between a hot pink and a crimson red. It’s a truly great colour that you don’t see very often in other watches which boast pink or red dials, making it a unique display of personality.

2023.06.06 14:09 Unable_Blackberry308 AITA for going through my boyfriend’s phone?
I (26F) went through my (28M) boyfriend’s phone and was shocked. We have been together for two years. We were very happy since the beginning of our relationship. Our chemistry was undeniable and just clicked when we met. We had similar interests and hobbies, we’d spoil each other when we got the chance and we’re open with our communication; or so I thought. After a while into the relationship I noticed he started acting different and an unusual attachment to his phone. We always respected each other’s privacy with our phones but suddenly he’s taking it to the bathroom more often (that was rare before) or trying to hide it when we’d go out. Seemed harmless at first until I woke up to him going to the bathroom for almost 40 minutes without using it. It became more frequent afterwards. He’d wait to see if I was asleep and sneak off to the bathroom. When he’d receive a notification he would act strange and out away the phone. One night we attended a friend’s birthday party. We were having a good time and he was letting loose with the guys. He had too many shots which lead to me asking for help to get back home. One of his friends drive our car back to our place. On the drive to our place he started rambling to him about not saying something to me before passing out. Thought that was odd but he was pretty wasted. He laid him on the bed and left. I took off his clothes and shoes than put a trash can and a water bottle next to him if he were to wake up.. that’s when he got a notification from his email. Not proud to say curiosity got the best of me so I opened it. It was a notification of a post on an OnlyFans account. I clicked on it, my heart dropped. Saw numerous videos and photos he payed for ranging from $5-$45. I couldn’t believe it, I started shaking wanting to throw the phone on his face. Scrolling through I couldn’t find anything else so I checked his social media. On instagram he had saved pictures of women (mostly showing most of their body). Open his Snapchat, he had paid for a subscription saying “the best $30 I’ve ever spent”. Furious I went back to his email to see what else he was hiding. Too many email to go through so I start searching for keywords. Wrote date on the search bar and there they were; several adult dating sites. Than searched for the word adult and more popped up. One of them was a website for anonymous user looking for happy ending massages. He left a review saying how much he liked it. I started to freak out. I looked at the dates when he had made those accounts. They were made before we started dating; but he was in another relationship at the time. When I confronted him about the in the morning he tried to deny it. Showing everything to him his response was “I was curious” and the other stuff happened before me so why would it matter. He deleted the account with the promise to not repeat this mistake. It has been a couple of months, took some time to forgive but I still can’t get over it. He goes as far to show me his bank account to prove he is done with all that. I can’t help but feel as if I was in the wrong for going through his phone when he was blacked out drunk. AITA?

2023.06.06 09:52 wizzlezim Is this a reasonable enough message to send to a panel beater or did I just piss him off a bit
This is more geared towards people who work(ed) as panel beaters or something similar but I'd appreciate any opinions. The context will become clearer once you read the message. Basically, I have a car that's started to rust (it's one of those where 50% of people advise me to just get rid of it, and 50% say that it should be totally fine for another decent stretch). I have some free time this month and I plan to take it in to a panel beater to hopefully do some work on it as a preemptive measure. A mechanic I know (sort of) has recommended the panel beater that he uses, so I'll be taking it in to him soon for an initial assessment.
Here's the message I just sent to him:
" Thanks Steve.
Please read when you get a moment... I'd rather say it here so that I don't need to waste your time when I'm there and can just leave you to the vehicle..
The primary objective is to extend the life of the vehicle, if possible, and to be able to drive it relatively safely for another few years, i.e. I'm less interested in cosmetics. Regardless of your feedback/quote, I'll pay you for your time - I just want as accurate and honest an assessment as possible. If it's not workable, or otherwise not feasible, I'd want to know (e.g. if there's say structural damage, rust holes in the frame, etc). I have reason to believe it's workable though.
I understand that this is not something one can assess with 100% certainty. I would trust your judgment/experience, and then if I fall through the floor panel in 2027, so be it - we tried. (Of course I'm speaking with tongue in cheek here - I'm just saying that I wouldn't hold you accountable or anything, so no need to feel pressured.)
The reason I'm doing this is because I don't drive a lot (about 150km most months), and it doesn't make financial sense to trade anything in just yet. And I'll be in Carlton for the foreseeable future which probably bodes well for the car because of the dry climate. It's recently had a minor service - if we do go ahead with some repairs, I'll get a mechanic to replace the cam belt and one or two things after it's left your shop.
Hope this makes sense. I'd be interested to hear your feedback. See you Wednesday (if you're still keen for the job).. "
Obviously it's a bit wordy, but things are simply too frenetic to get a word in when I'm at an auto shop. Does this kind of thing annoy mechanics, panel beaters, etc? How would you respond to this message if you received it? How else could I go about things?
In general, I never know the right etiquette or tone to use when it comes to getting work done on my car. I don't know if I'm a painful customer with unreasonable expectations, or if I've just been unlucky, but it's rarely a good experience (coordinating with mechanics, panel beaters, etc). There's often some issue or miscommunication and it's stressful as hell each time (I've only ever had one mechanic I could fully trust, but he's emigrated now - each new one I try is either uncommunicative or too busy to talk to me properly).
I realise what I'm asking is quite meta and open-ended (I'm not sharing photos and/or asking a specific question). I'm just looking for some advice to increase my chances of success here - I want my ride to be good for another few years.

2023.06.06 09:32 susysucks 29F, high grade DCIS
I was diagnosed on Thursday and I feel as though I’ve been living in a fog since. I don’t know how to do anything anymore, I can’t even cry about it, I don’t feel like my body is real.
I always knew I was going to get cancer. My mom got diagnosed stage 4 at 32 and miraculously lived to tell the tale. But she was so deeply traumatized by it, I haven’t gone a day in my life without hearing the word “cancer” since I was born. She had her left breast removed, never had the money to afford reconstruction (no insurance) and I grew up watching her stare at herself in the mirror mourning over herself. She loved to show me and my sister old photos, raving about how beautiful she used to be, at the time I never really understood the need she felt to do that. I do now.
My sister and I got BRCA tested when I was 19 at my mother’s urging. They came back positive for BRCA-1 and my OB immediately recommended we both get double mastectomies. At 19 my doctor unflinchingly told me I must do a full removal. Every check up I had after she would always open up with a joke about “why are you still carrying those bombs around??”
Now, 10 years later, I did a standard MRI just for a baseline. My new primary recommended I have a “relationship” with the cancer center at the hospital due to my family history and genes. That’s all the MRI was for, just for them to have a baseline for me. There were no lumps, no discharge, not any of the million signs my mother burned into my memory to watch for. Just a baseline examination for my doctors to monitor me for the future. And yet, a week after my 29th birthday, there it was. DCIS, comedo, high grade, rare microcalcifications.
Although, it is DCIS and considered stage 0, the high grade and comedo nature guarantees it is aggressive, that it will likely return with just a lumpectomy and it will invade at an accelerated speed.
I know they will push for a double mastectomy and that they will turn their attention to my ovaries next.
I was supposed to get married this year in September. 2023 was supposed to be the best year of my life. But instead, I lost my job in January, had to postpone the wedding due to no longer having a steady income, and now I have cancer. And somehow the worst part isn’t even that I have cancer, but that the kind of cancer I have guarantees I’ll never get to breastfeed. I’ll never know what it feels like to bond with your child like that. And if they come for my ovaries next, I might not even be able to naturally conceive at all.
I feel so robbed, so cheated. I’m 29, I don’t want my body to change yet. I don’t want to have scars peering out of my wedding dress. I wanted to get married whole. I wanted to have children whole. I wanted to experience all of motherhood when the time came, and i’m so afraid this rage will never go away.
I’m so afraid I’ll look at my children someday and weep because i cannot be whole for them, that their mother cannot feed them. I’m so afraid that on my wedding day I will scream for the body I chose the dress for, not this new alien one I never wanted.
I am too young. I had so much more I wanted to do before this came for me. I was always willing to undergo a mastectomy, but I never ever thought I would have to do it in my 20s.
Please, anyone, if you can offer me any light to look for right now, I could really really use it.

But she was so deeply traumatized by it, I haven’t gone a day in my life without hearing the word “cancer” since I was born. She had her left breast removed, never had the money to afford reconstruction (no insurance) and I grew up watching her stare at herself in the mirror mourning over herself. She loved to show me and my sister old photos, raving about how beautiful she used to be, at the time I never really understood the need she felt to do that. I do now.
My sister and I got BRCA tested when I was 19 at my mother’s urging. They came back positive for BRCA-1 and my OB immediately recommended we both get double mastectomies. At 19 my doctor unflinchingly told me I must do a full removal. Every check up I had after she would always open up with a joke about “why are you still carrying those bombs around??”
Now, 10 years later, I did a standard MRI just for a baseline. My new primary recommended I have a “relationship” with the cancer center at the hospital due to my family history and genes. That’s all the MRI was for, just for them to have a baseline for me. There were no lumps, no discharge, not any of the million signs my mother burned into my memory to watch for. Just a baseline examination for my doctors to monitor me for the future. And yet, a week after my 29th birthday, there it was. DCIS, comedo, high grade, rare microcalcifications.
Although, it is DCIS and considered stage 0, the high grade and comedo nature guarantees it is aggressive, that it will likely return with just a lumpectomy and it will invade at an accelerated speed.
I know they will push for a double mastectomy and that they will turn their attention to my ovaries next.
I was supposed to get married this year in September. 2023 was supposed to be the best year of my life. But instead, I lost my job in January, had to postpone the wedding due to no longer having a steady income, and now I have cancer. And somehow the worst part isn’t even that I have cancer, but that the kind of cancer I have guarantees I’ll never get to breastfeed. I’ll never know what it feels like to bond with your child like that. And if they come for my ovaries next, I might not even be able to naturally conceive at all.
I feel so robbed, so cheated. I’m 29, I don’t want my body to change yet. I don’t want to have scars peering out of my wedding dress. I wanted to get married whole. I wanted to have children whole. I wanted to experience all of motherhood when the time came, and i’m so afraid this rage will never go away.
I’m so afraid I’ll look at my children someday and weep because i cannot be whole for them, that their mother cannot feed them. I’m so afraid that on my wedding day I will scream for the body I chose the dress for, not this new alien one I never wanted.
I am too young. I had so much more I wanted to do before this came for me. I was always willing to undergo a mastectomy, but I never ever thought I would have to do it in my 20s.
Please, anyone, if you can offer me any light to look for right now, I could really really use it.
