  1. Choice watch man, congratulations!
  2. Thanks, looks like prices are down currently so that's good. Any good website/books/reading materials to learn about crypto?
  3. Crypto newbie. Where do I need to start (other than 5 years ago)?
  4. For anyone interested in indispendent watch makers, this is a great discussion.
  5. Losses wouldn't have helped me last year, so didn't dump then. ALPP I've already rolled a majority of the profits into other investments but still holding a few thousand shares that I should have dumped in the last run up but held out in case it went crazy with the uplist. I'll probably hold to see if they pick up over the course of the year as (hopefully) Covid and supply chain issues work themselves out. Holding TURV because my shares are barely worth the fee to sell them. Good info on ALPP - seems like it will bounce at some point once the supply chain issues get worked out. I've made so much on it, I don't mind holding onto the last vestiges until it bounces and it seems like it should at some point. HMBL - it would be really nice to see them get their shit together. Did see this announcement, which appears to be a step in the right direction. HUMBL Launches ACH Integration That's really good news on TURV. Not even worth the cost to sell it right now, but hopefully the new BoD will get things moving in the right direction. Thanks for the info guys!
  6. Gorgeous watch and IWC is a great brand.
  7. Anyone have updates on TURV, EGOC, HMBL, HOMU or ALPP? Any recent news or anticipated news that will impact these materially? Looking to liquidate some of these and roll into better options going forward.
  8. What is this?
  9. No worries, I got excited when you said that because I'm looking to liquidate some of my collection and have on few of the originals and 3 other colors. Was thinking that would be pretty damn nice.
  10. An Omega Constellation GlobeMaster might be on the high end of your range but you can find one for under $5k and they are great.
  11. You serious? You can get them for under $400. Its a fun watch but not dressy and not worth anything more than $400.
  12. Looking forward to the first aggy "Yellow Out" game next season.

  15. Thanks y'all, that's what I'll do.
  16. That's kind of my thought. Be able to breathe a little and sleep.
  17. Any issues talking nyquil to relieve covid symptoms? Seems from doing my own research it should be fine. Symptoms are currently minor and I'm vaccinated. But starting to get a little congestion and small fever.
  18. Not sure if it's every been mentioned in this thread but Fratellis on Westview and Wirt is fantastic. Every time the food has been delicious and the service extremely friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking for an Italian option.
  19. I have one of these on the way. I've heard the finishing is pretty good for a relatively inexpensive microbrand. Probably too small for me but figured I'd give it a try.
  20. How did they deal with it? I honestly haven't seen anything confirming he was processed. If so, that's the nature of the beast now. These are no longer amateur athletes, they are professionals. With that comes a business approach. Gotta take the bad with the good.
  21. Paul Thorpe on YouTube is a former watch dealer and discusses these robberies a lot (he was robbed 3x when he was a dealer) and has discussed this black market. What is interesting is that while it may take years and years, eventually someone sells the watch to the general public to realize the profits (since the prices on the black market are very low compared to the gray market). The buyer eventually takes the watch for service, its compared against the database and recognized as stolen and returned to the rightful owner. The person who bought it without the papers is out the money - so don't buy high-end watches without the papers.
  22. Its already there. Pretty much this. I don't like the NFL and I don't like where college football is now (not that I don't agree with paying players - they are definitely entitled). But its big business and Texas is the biggest so while you may not like it, the fact of the matter is we should be pretty dominant going forward. Maybe not Alabama levels, but we should be in the discussion for the SEC championship and Playoffs every season going forward. I'll give them a pass in 2022 with the enormous roster turnover and likely several freshmen playing on the lines. There's a new world order and no other program is better suited to take advantage than Texas. So even if you don't like college football as much, at least enjoy Texas being in the best position to take advantage. You (and all of us) deserve it after the last 11 years.
  23. There's an entire underworld of watches. The watches have completely different values because they are known to be hot and the buyer knows that they can't sell it on the gray market. Eventually, down the line, someone usually sells it because they can't resist the big money.
  24. Merry Christmas to you! That's gorgeous!
