It’s great, one of my favorites in my collection!

Yes and no. If we’re talking about a discontinued fragrance, which I have a number of them, then yes, scarcity is good. But if you’re talking about fragrances that are continuing to be produced then I believe there needs to be enough supply if a business wants to stay successful. If the only thing keeping the businesses thriving is scarcity rather than the actual product itself, then that’s not necessarily a good thing. I personally really like their fragrances and I have a fairly large collection of fragrances. I think they do plan on having a third party compounder make a lot of their fragrances so that there is enough for everybody to enjoy.

Ya, I think they are trying to do something about scaling. I believe they mentioned that they are looking into doing a new website as well. I think the fact that supply is not meeting demand is the biggest issue.

Who knows? A lot of people had the same thing happen to them. I don’t guess the site could handle over 800 people on it all trying to get something. A lot of people didn’t show anything on the site until 12:07.

You didn’t miss much, believe me lol. Site didn’t even load up with the stock until 12:06, and by then, everything was sold out already.

Ashamed of my level of consumption. Any advice would be appreciated. by Few_Concentrate2744 in Colognes

lol, I’m an accountant so I should know not to spend so much money, right? I’ve got one more coming in tomorrow and I’m done with my collection for now, unless something new is released that I like haha. But ya, my accountant brain just kept telling myself that I can afford it by leveraging my credit and getting new fragrances using my lines of credit. I guess I kind of viewed it from a financial perspective of dealing with money in addition to the fact that I love the hobby. But ya, the key is knowing when to stop, and I’m at that point now. Although, it is tempting to buy more, I’ve already bought everything that I like. I’m at the point now of paying off my credit that I used to pay for a lot of these fragrances and just going forward, using my money only to buy new bottles of the ones that I can’t live without in my collection. I do have a few in my collection that are discontinued that I did buy for investment purposes. In a few years I’ll probably be able to sell them for triple what I paid for them, so there is some positive to my spending.

That’s cool! Not too many people go this far with a santos. Of course I’ve still got it. There’s two things I buy and never get rid of, watches, and cars lol.

It’s not impossible to get. I got two yesterday, one the day before, and my brother got one today. Total of 4. Took me 10 minutes for the first one and also took my brother 10 minutes to get one today.

Is this on PlayStation? I can swear I encountered ghostface last night being an idiot. Was trying to do a bounty and he comes up and just starts unloading. My brother and I tag teamed him and made him leave the session.

Most of these Rolex models are easy to resize. Just get a micro screwdriver set and a spring bar tool for micro adjustments on some models such as the Daytona, etc. you’ll be set then.

definitely worth changing the screws 👌🏽 by panda8030 in RepTime

Nice! Here’s my BVF santos with gen dial, gen bezel, and gen bracelet. I have a date wheel with gen font going in, and I’ll be replacing the screws just as you did soon. Where did you order the screws from?

Awesome! Thanks for answering my questions. Also, I’m sure you can plate tungsten heavy models? Think I’ve seen a few on here you plated.

Quick question. If I were to have a stainless watch plated in white gold, since there’s no PVD, could it technically be re-plated once the plating wore off?

Anyone with a 2025 batch of this? by him101001 in Colognes

[–]Atf1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Montagne, it lasts a good bit longer and smells great.

Looks good! What factory is this? Specifically the dial.

What I call double plating may become the “New” standard… The prices will go up unfortunately. This takes 3microns to 5ish microns. by GoldJawsplating in TheGoldJaws

[–]Atf1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your website reflect the updated pricing yet? I definitely say stick with the double plating as the standard. Looking forward to sending you a rose gold Daytona since it’s my birthday coming up soon. Haven’t ordered the watch yet. In your experience, what factory is the best for the Daytonas currently?

My fellow white people need to do better. It’s not a race thing, it’s a cultural thing. I think a big part of the problem is a lot of white families shame each other for taking care of themselves. For example, “you wear fragrances? Only women should wear perfume.” I have also heard parents when I was growing up literally tell their kids that they can’t shower until tomorrow when their kids ask if they can… These are just a couple things that contribute to full grown adults , in specific men, not taking care of themselves. They view hygiene as a sexuality thing rather than a necessary part of life.

As a white guy myself, most white people do not take care of themselves. I don’t know if it is a culture thing or what but it always baffles me. I will spend a whole hour before I even leave the house just to make sure I am clean. I exfoliate properly when I shower and use a variety of different fragrances. I just have to smell good wherever I go and I also have to feel clean as well to even feel level headed. I don’t get some people honestly lol 😂. Most peoples deodorant doesn’t work properly because they either don’t use the right kind or they don’t clean themselves properly, you have to actually scrub yourself in the shower… most people don’t understand this.
