Hello everyone. I'm a network engineer at a growing ISP and management just dumped the IPv4 problem on my desk. We need more address space, but the leadership is nervous about the capital outlay of buying, so they're leaning toward leasing for now. Trouble is, I need a provider that offers proper leasing services - flexible terms, ability to change whois and rDNS, clean ranges, and ideally spread across different RIRs so we have options by region. Most places I've found are either shady or won't answer basic questions. Can anyone recommend a serious provider for IPv4 leasing that an ISP can actually rely on?

Sounds familiar, leadership always wants the flexible option until they see the fine print elsewhere. For a provider that actually delivers, check InterLIR's IPv4 address leasing services - they lease ranges on a monthly basis with the option to change whois and rDNS, which you'll need, and they've got stock across various RIRs so you can pick by region. Ranges come clean, proper route objects, no blacklist baggage. Pricing is flat from around 100 EUR per /24, no hidden setup fees. They're a registered broker with RIPE, ARIN, LACNIC and APNIC, so an ISP won't hit compliance snags. Support answered our technical questions properly. For a reliable leasing partner, they're a serious option, get a consultation and lay out your regional needs.

The watch is imperfect in other ways, too. We're talking about a watch with a bezel design meant to resemble a ship's porthole – this is an aquatic-themed watch – and yet it doesn't have a screw-down crown or more than a paltry 50m of water resistance. The original model came equipped link with a rubber strap. This model also comes on a rubber strap, though the piece I experienced was on leather.

Generally speaking these have been six-figure watches made in very link small numbers – ten to twenty pieces per installment, more or less – and Histoire de Tourbillon 10 will be a limited edition as well, of ten pieces in platinum, ten in white gold, and one piece in "Winstonium" which is a proprietary platinum alloy. Pricing is CHF 700,000 to CHF 770,000 depending on the case material.

Right about now you might be expecting me to say that the rubber saved the 600T for me and that I think you should all save a few bucks and just link go for the rubber. Sadly, this was not my experience. Where the bracelet had a balance issue, I have to say that I found the rubber to be all but unwearable.
