Solo Salmon fishing around Nootka sound

Hello there. I will be spending a couple of days ok Vancouver island this summer. As my friend will have to work as well, I will be on my own.

I thought I’d do some fishing aaaand check out Nootka sound. I will be able to get a car and drive to gold river. But once there, I have no idea how to get the fishing working. I don’t want to book a fishing “adventure” that will set me back like 4k. I would just want to go on a boat with someone (maybe even a lokal?!) and go fishing for a day.

Is that possible at all? As I have no idea about the area, all tips are greatly appreciated!

Thanks a ton!

Second try after RL - VSF Rolex OP 36mm lavender - Andiot

Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: VSF
Model name (& version number): Rolex Rolex OP 36mm lavender Oyster steel
Price Paid: around $400 USD (including shipping)
Album Links: /
Index alignment:
From what I can see, 11 isn't correct but leaning a bit to the left. 9 seems to be closer to the black square than 3 - or is that a shadow? 6 seems to be tilted CW. Overall nothing too bad, but still nothing too fancy.
Dial Printing:
Looks clean and sharp.
Date Wheel alignment/printing: /
Hand Alignment:
Looks good to me.
Bezel: /
Solid End Links (SELs):
SELs seem good to me, nothing visible.
Timegrapher numbers:
3 s/d seems ok, but nothing too good.
Anything else you notice:
The rehaut is good this time. I'd GL the watch, I dont really see anything big thats really bothering me apart from the 11 and the 9. Tell me I am stupid and all is well. I don't really know my stuff here as well as you do. Thanks a ton, really appreciate the help.

(edit: sorry, I put in a photo of a GMT - I don't know how to remove it. Sorry!)

Second one after RL a week ago: QC ARF Rolex GMT Master II - Andiot - help appreciated

Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: ARF
Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Jubilee
Price Paid: around $500 USD (including shipping)
Album Links: /
Index alignment:
From what I can see, the index alignment looks correct overall. 12 marker is a bit tilted to the right, but I am not sure.
Dial Printing:
If you really magnify it big time, the "IV" of superlative is not well made. I have no idea: can you see it with bare eyes? Rest looks ok to me, but not perfect.
Date Wheel alignment/printing:
Appears centered and properly aligned based on the QC pictures. Could be a bit too low, but that might be the angle. Whats your thoughts?
Hand Alignment:
Looks good to me. Is the color of the second too dark or is this just some reflection?
Bezel:
I will be removing the bezel anyways, so I did not really check. I will keep it anyways, so maybe there is something you see? I don't.
Solid End Links (SELs):
SELs seem good to me, nothing visible.
Timegrapher numbers:
3 s/d - seems ok. Nothing too good, but not too bad as well.
Anything else you notice:
The rehaut (again) is a bit off. Do we have to live with that? The crown is not centered and I know it will really annoy me in the future.

Overall this seems good. GL? I tend to be really picky, I want it perfect. I guess its never going to be... So I need you guys to tell me that I am too picky and everything is good (if it really is). Thanks a ton for the help. I really appreciate it.

Champions League Finale in Österreich (30.5.26)

Ich bin am 30.05.26 in Österreich und würde gerne das CL Finale schauen. ZDF überträgt in Deutschland - das dürfte aber ländergeblockt sein. Wisst ihr, wo es kommt bzw. wie?

QC "VSF" Rolex OP 36 lavender - Andiot; help very much appreciated, first timer here

Dealer name: Andiot
Factory name: ordered a VSF, but it does not say. So I dont really know.
Model name (& version number): Rolex OP 36 lavender
Price Paid: $450 USD (including shipping)
Album Links: /
Index alignment:
5, 7, 8 and 9 are not correct. 7 is really off and twisted.
Dial Printing:
Looks clean and sharp. I dont see anything "wrong".
Date Wheel alignment/printing: /
Hand Alignment:
Looks good to me. Anything I am missing?
Bezel: /
Solid End Links (SELs):
SELs seem good to me, nothing visible.
Timegrapher numbers:
+2s/d
Anything else you notice:
The rehaut is a bit off. That really bugs me. The crown is not centered and I know it will really annoy me in the future. Is that a RL? In the rules it sais that would be too picky. So yes, if everything is a GL, I would rather not RL it because of the rehaut. But still, it will probably bug me. Apart from that, it looks good, but again - I dont really know my stuff here as well as you do.

I would RL because of indices.

Thanks a ton!
