  1. Thanks for posting that.
  2. This is probably just outside the "affordable" category at $1200. But I've had a chance to test drive this Typsim watch for a couple of weeks and it's a beauty. Certainly a Submariner vibe, but the dial treatment is fantastic and creates some cool visual effects with its disappearing silver gilt application for the text, minute track, and surrounding the indices. Overall it has a very vintage-y feel in a new watch. You can also get a COSC-Certified version if you're an accuracy fanatic.
  3. Well that's good news.
  4. Yeah, the fish is pretty great.
  5. This is what got Joel Klatt nearly killed in the Box 12 championship Gabe. Dropping back to pass may their own goalline when they were losing by 67 points.
  6. Not in Ameritrade either, which I'm assuming is due to the name change. A little frustrating because that has most certainly tempered a potential recovery after the CEO passed away last week, causing it to plummet.
  7. Name change to RecycLiCo way approved so I'm sure their ticket symbol is changing.

  9. Thanks, Agreed on the assessment. Holding some of the same stocks. Commercialization will be big. A buyout would be great. I do like the CTO and hopefully they can bring in a new CEO who will jump start things as they begin commercialization.
  10. I'm also wondering if recent health issues may have been the reason the stock took a nose dive in the past couple weeks. Clearly the market doesn't like his passing, but I have always thought the CTO (now interim CEO) presented much better than Larry did. I guess the key is whether he has any business sense and ability to position them for commercial operations.
  11. I hate to laugh but that was pretty funny. I was also actually thinking that he may have been the right guy for the initial stages but they might want to go with someone else as they move to commercial operations. While the technology has always impressed me, I can't say I was blown away with his leadership, at least publicly. Agreed with no revenue. That said, I was getting the impression that with the pilot plant producing and the recycled material achieving the promised quality standards that the pilot plant material could be used to generate some revenue while a full-scale facility was constructed (which was originally designated to be next door to the pilot plant). So hopefully they should have some revenue stream starting up soon. I don't know how much that will be from the pilot plant though. It sounded from a previous announcement that would begin in the 3rd quarter. So maybe we'll see something very soon. Would be nice.
  12. So is AMYZF completely dead? @Harrison Stafford Holy shit its tanked the last week.
  13. FYI, if anyone is looking for an affordable diver with a Sinn-like aesthetic, definitely check out Vero. $885 on the bracelet and a very good all around dive watch. Unbelievable 10 year warranty on ANY damage. https://vero-watch.com/
  14. Custom Watch Ape!
  15. For those interested in the GPHG Finalists, I added a complete list at the link: https://bespokenlounge.watch/board/topic/83-gphg-finalists/#comment-187 Discussion here: https://bespokenlounge.watch/board/topic/82-gphg-2022/#comment-188 One of my favorites is the crowd-designed/built Lyrique Etude No1. But there are a lot of really great nominees and beautiful watches.
  16. I have to say I was ignorant of this fact. I do enjoy Elle King though. Rob Schneider, not so much.

  18. The on my Spitfire is incredible. Bought the watch 5+ years ago and it is still one of the very best bracelets I have. Only the GO 70s tops it. Helps to have the on the fly Microadjust to keep it kind of snug since it is a tall watch. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
  19. For anyone interested in Independent brands and bespoke timepieces, here's an article about one of my favorite brands, Holthinrichs. https://www.fratellowatches.com/strap-check-my-bespoke-holthinrichs-ornament-on-a-beige-kaufmann-alligator-strap/ Also, if you're interested in Independent watch brands, shoot me a message. @immamac has been helping me set up a forum specifically for small independent watch brands. I'm getting close to launching it, but could use some beta testers.
  20. Interestingly, I went into the Rolex store about 5 months ago and they didn't have any actual watches on the floor - just displays. I talked with the lady for a while and expressed some interest in a few of the less popular models like the Yachtmaster and Explorer II (I don't really have any interest in Submariners). Didn't put my name on the list or anything, just talked with her for half an hour. She suggested I buy some jewelry or a Tudor, neither of which I'm interested in. They called me out of the blue yesterday. I was in a meeting and didn't take the call, but I'm wondering if they actually got something in or if it is just a courtesy call. I know the market is slowing down, but since I didn't even put my name on the list for anything, I wasn't expecting a call. I guess I'll call them back today and see.
  21. Would be nice to see AMYZF do the same.
  22. Not sure why it didn't include the quote the first time. User error.
  23. BTW, this album is fantastic.
