Let's go Leafs.
Go where? ;)

Too early to discount them from the playoffs yet, but not by much. First overall pick and hopefully Stamkos will Definately help though.

I'm 47 and they haven't won the cup in my life, so Waddya I know?:nah:

Stamkos? You sure about that. The pens were happy to get Kessel from the Leafs.

It could be worse if you were a Cubs fan.

The only reason the Leafs don't get Stamkos IMO is because the blood clot scared them off. They have wanted him for years.

Kessel is a mental case and he needed a change of scenery. Playing hockey in Toronto can be brutal as our media is insane. He did great this year. Good on him!

Good point re:the Cubs.

seems pretty simple. If it were me, Id say Procyon- BUT I HATE my Radius. I have a collection of round long PVs
and I love them all for different things. Youre not me. Im a Tootle Puffer. If you dont Use the P3- seems you've got the answer - you wont use the Procyon either. Get the closest to what you luv the most, and dont collect those that you dont like or use. Make sense?
We should o on the PIF section I'lll send you My Cabaret Radius (you can always put a black ostrich skin J Wrap over it for that flat black look)....you send me one of the P3s.....LOL! all the best and let us know what you get,
Cheers.

Does anyone have the stealth Radius? I have seen one and the black coating didn't seem to be holding up very well. I have been wondering if anyone has any issues with theirs.
If it's the same coating as the Stealth Kabuki, it ain't worth a hill of beans. I seriously doubt it's the same. I sure hope it's not.

I have the Stealth Radius and the Stealth Kabuki - both used daily with no sign of wear on either, BUT, I'm not rough with the devices, don't casually sling them around, especially with a glass sleeve on the Kabuki.

Would I buy them again? Absolutely! They're an investment, not disposable ...

My stealth Radius is starting to wear slightly on the bottom edges. I use it every day and have for almost 6 months though.

One of my black Kabukis is wearing along the top edge. Again, this is also used daily.

Both are very strong finishes, but they both aren't black steel. It's gonna eventually wear IME.

Thanks for the info. With the black do you guys bother using a sleeve? So underneath the black finish is the normal stainless finish on the Radius....and for that matter on the Kabuki?

The finish is a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish. They are very durable, but can wear over time and even be scratched if banged hard enough. Most black watches sold today are PVD finishes, which are actually remarkably durable. My Graphite Gray Radius is showing no signs of the finish wearing off. But I'm very careful with my devices.

Personally, I don't mind the signs of wear. To me, it makes it look well-used and speaks to the reliability of the internal workings. If someone comments about the scratches, fading, etc., I tell them it's like a chewy, chewy Tootsie Roll, it lasts a long time.

Heh.
I feel the same as long as the finish wears, not flakes/chips. I mind a bit of my Provaris wear though as I would prefer to keep them classy looking. ;) But to your point, well worn shows it was used a ton and therefore must work well.

I am the same with my bass guitars strangely. My old Fenders are literally mangled but my Foderas (my babies in my avatar) are completely mint even after a few years. I almost feinted when I put the first ding on one of them. :eek: They are insanely expensive though, so I do treat them better than my kids. ;)
