I’m not an expert but they are less expensive because of bracelets/cases were not solid gold. When Rolex changed to 118 series there is a noticeable difference in weight. Not sure about movement. It may have been updated. I have both and can only tell the difference in weight.

I have Blue Cruise on the f150. It does ok on the interstate if the road is fairly straight. It takes the apex of a curve differently than I do. It passes cars/big rigs too close in my opinion. No traffic on I 25 last week in Colorado and it did pretty well for a couple hundred miles.

I have the same OG MKII Target. Has to be 40 years old now. It is ridiculously accurate. Spent many afternoons shooting skeet from a portable thrower. Stand behind the thrower and once you get the arc down, it is not that hard to hit them.

I put this up over on the gun lovers thread but I am also a watch fanatic. Cartier Santos - Stacatto CS24 President 118208 - custom 1911 Citizen Pro Diver- custom Gen 5 19

I got it 6 months ago. It is very accurate, eats everything, points naturally, 16 round mags and conceals well in an AIWB holster. I am taking it out to Florence to have them redo the trigger. It is 3.5 lbs on my gauge but has a good bit of "scrunchy" take up. They can upgrade ignition kit and change the take up. I think it has a lot of upside and I will get faste with more practice. If it can beat the 19, that is saying something. The Gen 5 19 that I had Cline Tactical build is a machine. Sub 2 second draw speed, .25 splits and has never missed a beat in 1000s of rounds. Hardly ever clean it, just drop of oil on slide, barrel, hood, etc..every 500 rounds.

It is by far the easiest 2011/1911 takedown that I have ever had.

It is CS24

top - daily wear Stacatto CS/ Cartier Santos middle - date night. Custom built commander with all the goodies/ Rolex President bottom - scuffling time. Cline Tactical custom 19/ Citizen Promaster/ Microtech Exocet All shoot 5 rounds touching at 10 yards if I do my part Fastest draw speed/splits/scores are with the 19 Staccato is coming along I expect it to take over in another year and couple thousand rounds

This is not a bad area. More moderate housing prices in comparison to mountain towns, big box shopping, lots of outdoor activities. An hourish to downtown Denver and same the other way to Vail. Downsides are summer crowds/traffic and a lot of snow to deal with in the winter. I personally don't like full on winter up here. We had 350" last year at our house in Breck. Constant work keeping drives, decks clear.

I have the Retrax on my '23 F150. I really like it. Much better quality than my previous cover, Roll-N-Lock.

Bought mine 40 years ago. Still a daily wear. Been back to the factory twice for service. Never any trouble, but about every 15 years I send it in. Gets lubed, polished, etc...

Vent. Went to Westlake Digital Kitchen yesterday. What a shit show. Around noon and almost empty except for the 3 cars in line trying to place their order. Service sucks. Food sucks. It has to be the most wasted real estate pad between Mopac and 360. In other news, the Whataburger in Dripping Springs is very good and professionally managed. Same for William Cannon/Mopac location.

We have a home in Colorado. Our area has many cats, bears and moose. Only see cats running away or the evidence of a deer/elk kill. Bears are pretty shy. They tend to amble off when encountered in the yard or on the trail. Moose are completely different. They are completely unpredictable and so large that any encounter can go bad.

Doing my part for Travis County. Market value up 67% for 2024 and Net up exactly 10%.

If you are OCD about mud, stay away May thru June. I could go to the car wash and still track 1/2 inch into garage. About mid July, we would take flat point shovels and scrape out garage. Same thing November and December. We love Meander and friends own Alley House. My wife could not take the lack of good grocery stores, muddy roads and no real yoga, Pilates, whatever classes. Coupled with kids not coming, it was inevitable that we sell.
