This. GP & BP for sure, nice dressy and casual pair.

I don't see the Laureato replacing the Black Bay. Now I would take the Laureato over the GP Vintage any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'm not a Black Bay fanboy, and I can never justify one, given what has come out since I had it. I've had the original Red Black Bay and would take the Pelagos 42mm (in blue) over it any day. Better bracelet and a nice rubber strap with some of the best lume ever on a diver. I don't like the 39mm version since it looks incomplete without the chapter ring.

So your options are

Attachment 128687+Attachment 128688

Vs

Attachment 128689

?

I think both are winning and valid choices!

Remind me what's the in box at the mo?

Thanks for the pics, really helps!

In the box is probably around 40 watches if I am honest with myself. Never counted (on purpose)

Forget that it’s 1:2 or 2:1, which single watch do you want the most?

If it’s the Laureato, just be prepared for still wanting the other two.

Good point, I may have overlooked that

Personally, I like both the other two better than the Laureato, so it’s an easy choice for me.

That would make a very easy choice!

That was my thought when I was shortening my short list. Waiting for my next career move, planning a celebratory purchase. A nice dress/sport pair would hit the spot

The last sentence gave me a chuckle. I do appreciate IWL!

I mean, honestly, if you wanted just a two watch collection, the Vintage 1945 and the Black Black 58 would do it. I’d have no complaints about those.

British gas is terrible. They just paid my mother back the 3k they owed her. I don't know how they don't get worse reviews on trust pilot. Octopus have been great.

The worst is when they don't show and then act like they did, "no one answered the door". Been there before, was quick to call BS.

Does anybody use any wall mounts for their TVs?

I have a small 42" lightweight OLED TV I'd like to mount on the wall near my computer to use as a monitor. I do have a table next to my desk that currently holds my printer. and I would begrudgingly move the printer for the TV... but... this stupid TV does not have a center stand mount, but the legs on the end instead, and as my luck would have it, the legs are about 2 inches wider than my table can support, unless I set it on a diagonal, and just one little knock would have it crashing to the floor.


I've looked at this, it seems ideal, but the Vesa pattern for mounting is the LG TV is 300x200. I called the manufacturer of the mount and they say it won't be compatible (needs to be 200x300) for crying out loud.

I suppose there are adapters like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCMTCP3...ustomerReviews

but it's not ideal to use adapters???... but if it's my only option... I've checked out a few other mounts, Sanus is way toverpriced, and some others on amazon just look cheap.

The ideas is to replace the smaller monitor that sits on my printer for the LG OLED.

Excuse my mess, I just got back from being out of town... doing invoicing and receipts, etc... and for bonus watch content, there is an Omega bag down there from when I got my Speedmaster back from service. It's going back once again, unfortunately.
