Good-bye?- Anandtech

I remember discovering Anandtech back when it was hosted on Geocities when I was in elementary school. End of an era.

Who is more happy today?

If you don't mind refurbished, I'm getting my nephew a 1060 6GB refurb for under $120 (either the mini or blower): https://store.zotac.com/refurbished

The bitcoin millionaires when will they cash out?

I purchased $30k of Litecoin in the $90's last week (Have a friend who bought more when it was in the $30's). I will probably just hold onto it for a while and hope it goes to $1,000 or more in the future.

2500K... 6 years ago! My, how time flies!

I've had all those CPU's and the i7 2600k as well (which is now a secondary rig for me). My first cpu for the first rig I made was the Celeron 300A which was also a pretty legendary one (just change the multiplier FSB from 66mhz to 100mhz).

The watch thread - what watches do you sport or covet?

Here are two watches I have on me right now: I also have a Submariner and a Patek Nautilus 5711 that I recently sent in for service and probably won't be getting back for many months. Some watches I've owned in the past: AP 15202OR, Rolex GMT Master BLNR "Batman", AP 15300. I was looking for...

Does this watch make me look old?

I used to be a pledge member there. Some of the members at TRF are very wealthy and some are celebrities as well. You also have your average joe watch collectors and we sometimes attend the meetups.

Does this watch make me look old?

I purchased a pre-owned Daytona 116520 from an online gray dealer named takuya two years ago for $10.5k. A local dealer has the new ceramic bezel Daytona and I was thinking about trading my Daytona + $4k cash for the new one but decided to pass. My Daytona on watchrecon now goes for around...

20 Years of Anandtech - 20 days of Giveaways

My first rig I built in middle school, the good ole' Celeron 300A (66mhz to 100mhz FSB) and that 450mhz overclock. For nostalgia, I visited my parents house a few weeks ago. All my old rigs (Celeron 300A, Pentium 3's, Pentium 4's, AMD Thunderbird, XP Athlon, Barton, AMD64, AMD64 x2) that were...

What income do you need to consider purchasing a $10k watch? $100k car?

Rolex and Patek are the two best brands for resale. For example, the Submariner I bought 6 years ago I paid $5500 for I could probably sell it for around $5000 now. If you have some vintage Rolex watches (IE Paul Newman Daytona) those could be had in the 1980's for $1000 - $2000 and now they're...

What income do you need to consider purchasing a $10k watch? $100k car?

My first Rolex purchase was in 2010, I paid around $5500 for a Submariner 14060M and I was making $320,000 then. The only Rolex I own that is over $10k is a Daytona 116520, I purchased that in 2014 and what I pay myself (own a small private company) had gone up a bit since then as our revenue /...

What income do you need to consider purchasing a $10k watch? $100k car?

I have a small watch collection with watches over $10k (Rolexes) and $30k (Audemars Piguet / Patek Philippe), all of them are in stainless steel (used to have rose gold Royal Oak 15202OR but sold it). None of the watches are noticed by people and I like it that way (stay under the radar), I...

Does Macy sell good watches?

Get a Seiko 5 on Amazon. If you have a higher budget then maybe a Nomos or Grand Seiko. I have an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202ST and no one knows what it is. When I wear Rolex a lot more people know but for the most part don't care.

Donors needed

I did a stem cell transplant for my brother a few months ago. It wasn't difficult at all just some slight bone pain and headaches from the twice a day neupogen injections (for 5 days). During the stem cell transplant they stick a needle in each arm (one to take out blood and the other to put the...
