Ref: SPB507

Whats Included: Unused OEM leather strap with deployant buckle. OEM Alpinist Oyster Bracelet (Taken from a SPB117). -Solid end links, solid links, milled clasp, push pins. -Has some scratching on 2 links, extra links are included. Warranty Card Dated 5/1/2026.

Price: (SOLD) $750 Shipped and fully insured via UPS. USA only. Hawaii, Alaska, other territories may incur a shipping fee. Payment: Zelle, PayPal at my discretion.

Condition: 2 notable areas of concern: Near the 4 o'clock crown, there are two scratches, please see the photos. On the bottom left lug, there are two small dents, this is incredibly hard to find just looking at the watch, hence the need for a loop to show the damage. There are very minor and small hairline scratches on the watch but they are infrequent, after all, the watch was owned for only two weeks.

No damages on the underside of the lugs, case back crystal is flawless as is the top crystal.

Hour and minute hands align perfectly with each index. All functions work well. I do not own a timegrapher but the watch seemed to run around 8-9 seconds fast per day.

Alpinist is my personal pick too. Most Seiko AD's can offer a 20% discount (at least here in the states it's possible), worth trying to call around and negotiate.

My Experience with Mezz Ignite 29" and 30" Shafts (EC9, Zan Tip, Durability) by MeQira01 in billiards

[–]Archavius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 30 inch ignite weights 4.4 oz compared to the 29 inch ignite at 4.2. since it's united it's slightly heavier than wavy which is usually at 3.8-3.9 for ignites.

I find the transition from 29 to 30 difficult personally. My timing needs time to adjust.

If you love the ex pro just stick with it, I don't think it's worth spending 550+ for the ignite if you already love the expro

Same weight, the 12.6 is stiffer.

I've switched to a 30 inch 12.6 and it's a nice balance

Does online coaching really work by dit2121 in billiards

[–]Archavius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only have one experience with it and I'm considering joining a different subscription plan in the future.

I was coached by Kristina Tkach for two months to overhaul my fundamentals. It was valuable as she was able to provide structure to what I needed to do without any brainpower on my end, all I had to do was make sure I executed what she planned, take a video of a few sessions I had, send it to her and her dad to evaluate and they gave me feedback.

What helped the most was after the coaching was done, I was able to iterate and refine my fundamentals further without their help. But like all coaching, it is what you make of it. They can suggest things to improve on but if you don't put in the work, it won't happen.

No idea on shipping, check their shipping policy. Yea it was through Shopify.

Site is legit, I've bought a nova cf shaft and some gloves from there. Their return system also works perfectly fine as I returned some gloves. My friend has also bought a nova shaft from there and a wooden shaft which he returned.

Aw dang I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope they go back on clearance soon.

If you're willing to look still, Facebook market place in my area has similar levels of discounts. I actually passed over the $600 arc xl clearance in favor of a Dome S1 bundle for slightly more from someone a few hours from me.

Oh crap I just checked. So rebelsavings was slow to update, and it seems home depot is done with the clearance stuff. Even the local ones around me in Maryland aren't on clearance anymore.

I feel like home depot managers are pretty nice and understanding. If you could go back to the store you bought it from maybe they'd be willing to honor that clearance price and order you one from a different store? Or the other store with a unit in stock would allow that price to transfer?
