Re: New Coffee Set-up

Started this convo in the other bean roasting thread where it didn’t really belong, so porting the update here.

Re: Long Wait Times for Repairs.

I expect this with specialized service, as the availability of appropriate skillset is the limiting factor. So with my JLC Duometre and Extreme Lab Service, I brace for things like that. JLC exceeded my expectations in my case, but I wouldn't have been alarmed if it took that long to get it back. If...

Re: BOLDR x W&W 3xt GMT L.E.

I like busy dials, but this one is a bit much for me.

That said, I like it better than most micros.

Re: Someone school me on roasting coffee

You guys experiment at all with rest period after roasting? For espresso, at least, they seem to usually recommend 5ish days after roast for optimal results.

I’ve never considered roasting, but your testimony has got me intrigued!

Re: WRUW = Saturday = 11 04 23

Been wanting to try this one since release. Actually, ridiculously, still on the list for one at the local AD (or maybe my name was removed without me knowing). Either way, much better to buy used from DWC fam. Thanks, Mark! Tudor Black Bay Pro https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231104/73d8e162f99d6...

Re: Someone school me on roasting coffee

I assume you’ve already looked through the usual suspects? Home-Barista, Espresso Aficionados Discord, etc…?

I’m pretty ignorant about roasting, but I’ve gotten tons of info about equipment, brewing, and beans from them.

I’ve tried a bunch, but my default everyday drinker is still Caffe Lusso GMC.

Re: Bremont’s new Supermarine S302 GMT Diver

Per my usual complaint, if you are going to make a watch that is 300m water resistant, and picture it on some guy wearing a wet suit, then you should print the GMT scale on the rehaut and make the bezel an elapsed time scale for diving purposes. This is especially true if you are going to make the ...

Congrats on whatever :lol: You should try having Topper local to you. I think I'm up to 10 or 11 watches purchased there, it's madness. On the flip side, it's nice to have a place local to trade in stuff. Looking forward to the reveal... :popcorn: Same [emoji2359] I impulse buy there all the time. ...
