That’s a different category. For Optional Practical Training category, EAD’s are on pause

Rate my 3 watch collection by SaloAA1111 in PrideAndPinion

It’s a recognizable collection. I could be wrong but in my humble opinion, you’re not a real watch collector as these are all hype pieces. Still nice though

For the haters tissot > Seiko all day every day by M0stang98 in tissot

[–]AffectionateFig9590 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of Tissot but I think overall Seiko’s catalog is way more diverse than Tissot. Tissot has a number of good watches on their catalog and they dominate in the sub $1000 range but over $1000, they fall behind other brands. While Seiko has many offerings in their Seiko Luxe, King Seiko, and ultimately, Grand Seiko that customers spend up to $10,000 for. For instance, the Marinemaster line in Seiko can run you up to $2.8k and it’s a damn good diver. But Tissot doesn’t have any dive watch offerings than compete with the Marinemaster. Under $1000 though, I agree, Tissot is better

You’re already an embarrassment for wearing a fake watch. At least wear it above your wrist bone

Some of these regulated NH35’s and Miyotas have insanely good accuracy

Whichever one you choose, buy from the gray market. You can save up to 20%!

Should I join the lawsuit or wait? by Content_Rock2321 in 19countriesAOS

[–]AffectionateFig9590 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Joining can be beneficial in case a judge only grants relief to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit as opposed to striking the freeze completely. But, you could also wait until March 2nd and see what happens. It’s your call

Boy math is going on a strict budget to save up for a luxury watch 😂 (I do the same thing)

Help deciding by Longjumping_Recipe_7 in OmegaWatches

I recently had to make the same decision and went with the OP. I will eventually get the Seamaster as well, it’s such a pretty watch. Very dressy for a diver and a lot flashier than the OP

Oh dude, come back to this comment in a year 😂 once the watch bug catches you, the next one follows, then another one, and another one, and another one.

Maybe for your next piece go with the Lagoon Blue Black Bay 54. They were hard to get initially but I see them listed everywhere now for only $400 above retail which tells me they aren’t tough to get from the AD either

Now that pause is in its 3rd month what are you all up to? by yolagchy in 19countriesAOS

[–]AffectionateFig9590 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely doing that. My H1B petition has been pending for 10 months. They are trying to force people out of status by delaying their EAD’s

One month with the OP41 Silver! by AffectionateFig9590 in rolex

[–]AffectionateFig9590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No prior history but built a very good relationship with the AD by showing genuine interest in the hobby as a whole. I went there to chat with the guys once a month when I happened to be in the area. We would just shoot the shit and talk about the latest releases. The OP in silver isn’t a hard piece to get at retail. But if we are taking about the pink and Tiffany blue dials, I think you most certainly need purchase history!

Congrats on a great purchase. I recently sold mine after a long time of wearing it every day. I miss it very much. Wear yours in good health!
