Maybe InHavenPro Forgot to - so I’ll Post
We met for coffee and admired JLC and Parm engineering and beauty, respectively. And maybe chatted about some non-horological topics too; like how old Vlad really is 😉😉😉🧛🧛🧛♀️🧛♂️🧛♂️
Your shots turned out decent!
I deliberately avoided posting the few that I took because they were hopelessly blurred! Light coming in from all angles, plus the sun setting and making it even harder to make a reasonably focused frame.... It was clearly awesome, the Duo is a JLC staple, it was only the second time I got to see and handle one in person. Vlad, on the other hand, is a topic too tall to tell xD........
Me as well....
But, even with top equipment, the conditions for macro shots have to be highly favorable. On top of that, my lens is as wide-angle as it gets, so macro pics can only be achieved through extreme cropping.... I do plan on changing that foreseeably!....
I agree, I would totally love....
Either the UTT, or this latest steel version. My issue is, this security contract shit that keeps repeating at least once a year, the company I work for literally lost the contract Sunday night, and now I'm clueless as to what my work schedule will be like for at least a month.... That's why I have to get my own company up and running next year so that I don't have to deal with sudden budget cuts that are never announced to us beforehand! Frustrated, Filip
Not frustrated, my friend, that's the game and an excellent reason to run your own company!
Oh, it definitively will,
It's simply beyond annoying, especially at the height of the holiday season. I've generally had pretty bad luck with watch purchase timing, but that will mostly be resolved when I'm writing my own contracts, as opposed to having a massive multi-billion dollar conglomerate like Kroger 'pulling the rug out' on a contract with less than 24 hours notice.... See you soon, cheers, Filip
100%
Ironically, the defense business, of which the private security sector is a large chunk, has been booming in the last 10-15 years in all of California due to the tumultuous socio-economic climate. It is still on track to rise at least 4.5% each year through the end of 2026. That's why me getting the 'coveted' private patrol operator business license, to run a security firm of any size in the state of California, is a pretty big deal to me which will pave the path to building a sustainable long-term business for myself. Thanks Mike, cheers, Filip
It was awesome to catch up,
and we could have still chatted for hours more. Cheers Jon, Filip
