Well wear, and I hope you enjoy it.

I really want to get one. Not likely it'll be in my budget this year.

I actually bought this for my wife as late Christmas present but I will have a good play with it. At work I use a PC as Macs don’t work for the software I use but at home I’m an iPad guy lol. It’s a beautiful piece of tech this and the Touch Bar is awesome. I got it for £1435 and if it’s like her 2013 MBP it should last at least 5 years so it’s a worthy investment:)

That is decent of you and I hope she treasures it.

Awww, thank you. She’s a sweet little thing and a fine young woman. She lives with her mother now but only about 45 minutes away.

Here she is at age 7.

:)

(Pls don’t quote. I’ll remove it shortly.)

I gave her the ring (circled in blue) when she was 11.
Her real father gave her the other ring when she was around 16, I think. She wears them both to this day. She will be 22 in a month. She hasn’t grown much. Haha.

Updated January 4: here’s a picture from home. She chose the 40mm. (Good choice :rolleyes: .) Everyone here is a witness to her geekiness...she reads the literature. She always has. On Christmas mornings when she was really little, I’d be assembling something for her and she’d have her noodle in the instructions waving her hand saying, “wait, you’re doing it wrong!”

Took advantage of BestBuy's $249 sale. Paid a few dollars more than $200 with my rewards. This thing is heavy, you could kill a man. Echo, iPhone XR, FireTV, Watch S4, and now this. I'm done spending money for a while, lol.

The sound is astonishing. Even at the lowest volume it's pretty darn loud.

£37 worth of petrol for Mrs AFB’s car. Should keep her going for the next couple of months.
$100 yesterday to fill up my truck and then $67 this morning to fill up the Mrs. car (come to think of it I think she has only filled her car up 5 times in the last 10 years because I get stuck with it)

Picked up my wife's Tesla Model 3 last night. Our first EV vehicle and boy is it fun to drive.

What car does she drive?

I wish my car would not need filling up so often, then again it is a corsa VXR (boy racer car for those that didn’t know) and I knew that case before buying it :D

A 1.0 Kia Picanto. She does very few journeys. It’s just had its annual service and it’s done 671 miles in a year.

Got this for Christmas! Wife found a great open box deal and it was in perfect shape. I had the RX100 III and loved it and this thing is an awesome upgrade :)

Great "real camera" EDC as opposed to a iPhone ;) I purchased one for my spouse for her trips overseas. I love the pop up viewfinder!

I own the earlier Bamboo version. What are you driving them with? I'm using an old PS Audio GCHA amp. and an old Musical Fidelity M1. I wish I had tubes in the mix!

I preordered a purse for my (step) daughter at Christmas but it didn’t come in until yesterday.

Maybe it’s too big. There’s a smaller version...sort of. It might have been a better choice. But the price difference between the medium and jumbo didn’t make sense.

Terrible photo quality.
