while checking in a hotel at the counter, I heard a little disagreement of a guest over charges of 10 euros/day for 3 days over wifi, because he did not provide his email to get free wifi. I turned and saw this shiny piece on his wrist...5271P. I don't bl...
You've got a keen eye
Except for Rolexes, I have a hard time picking out a watch model from any distance. I can relate. As a frequent traveler, I hate being charged for anything at hotels that I did not ask for or was told in advance about and if it's more than $2-$3, I'm goin...
This is also my first wild encounter of such a nice watch...
Very attractive and bling...the Patek logo clasp is obvious. We are Purists 😁 And like things to be clear. Rgds Raymond
I see, yes the PP logo clasp is very distinctive
Glad to see super high-end watches are being worn out & about.
It is really great when one spots these kinds of references being worn in the wild... so rare to see but a real joy when it happens
Now for decent hotels to charge for wifi these days is completely unacceptable in my opinion. It should be a service baked into the price of the stay. Particularly as the coffee shop around the corner provides complimentary wifi to anyone walking in.
You're right, some decent hotels charges wifi but motels or budget hotels provide free 😳
With cellphone rates and better plans, I just use my data nowadays, no longer need to go to McDonald's or Starbucks for free wifi while traveling. Rgds Raymond
It is a matter of principle
I expect to get what I have paid for and nothing less. As for wifi, I just find that in this day and age if a hotel still charges guests for wifi it says a lot about how backward its brand is. Whatever the class, it should be a necessity these days. I don...
+1...it seems can't live with www nowadays.
Can't imagine going back to VCR or CRT TVs, but for music, vinyl records are making a comeback, interesting... Rgds Raymond
Everything has its value
You may splash out on an expensive watch but why pay more (even if a few dollars) when it is not worth it.
Whoa, stealth mode.
How did you photograph without the person noticing? LOL Aloha, Bob
He's too busy arguing over the fees...
I'm just beside him at the counter....iPhone 7+ has nice zoom features 😬 Rgds Raymond
my 2ct
We should keen in mind the spirit of this forum and the idea of not getting carried away by money. We can surely "t hink" that a hotels's WIFI charge is or is not acceptable price-wise or in line with other WIFI offerings (Starbucks). We can have our thou...
I once saw a guy wearing a Patek 5002G
He was with his son on a college visit tour in Princeton University. It started raining, and he just went along without an umbrella! I thought that it wasn’t water resistant since it has a minute repeater function. I was so tempted to say something, but s...
