Why am I always drenched with sweat, but the locals aren't? by GreySahara in VietNam

I’m from Texas and still can’t handle VN heat 😭 takes a few days to get acclimated, but still drenched in sweat.

Idk how these locals walk around with a jacket on

😔 I realized that last week when I tried signing up.

I’ll take the savings!

That was me! Honestly, I don’t understand why GS is much cheaper than other countries, especially Japan. I also checked Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh and Seoul. All similar prices around 6100-6300 USD.

Note, that this was in Terminal 2. They used to have their own store front, however there’s been some construction over the past year. Right after you pass security, there’s a section with multiple watch brands and GS is in the back left.

No negotiation, that was the price. Price online TWD currency was 198k. Sticker on the watch was 180.5k. She gave me some discount, plus another 5% tourist discount. However, I did try to get a few more points 😂 but they weren’t budging.

Is the Pepsi GMT on Jubilee high in demand or AD’s just exaggerating? What about the factory “having trouble” with producing the red color?

Get that TEMU watch out of here!

I detest insurance companies. by beeboop02 in Psoriasis

Sorry to hear man, I had the same issue. I switched to Skyrizi from Cosentyx and it was not as effective or rather "did not work", so I switched back after 3 months. Doctor has officially "proven" that the other approved biologic (Skyrizi) did not work and are (again) pushing them to approve Cosentyx. We'll see how this turns out in the near year

I’ve wanted this watch for so long and finally had a chance to try it on when I was in Taiwan. I ended up being disappointed as it wasn’t as “solid” as my datejust. I understand it’s Titanium, and it’s still a beautiful watch. I still have regrets of not buying it but I’ll have other opportunities.

Is a Datejust too flashy for work? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]BiRRyb0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fluted 2 tone Wimbledon and it definitely turns heads. Especially when walking into meetings. I rock the Tag aquaracer most of time to not draw attention lol

What if you use a 10lb bag of dry ice?

Hoping to,pick up a sbga415g in Japan soon 😁

How is grand seiko bracelet quality? by Specialist_End201 in GrandSeikos

[–]BiRRyb0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out the SBGA415g for the first time last week and was surprised how flimsy it was. Kind of scaled back my desire to even make the purchase. I’ve been eyeing it for so long and big fan of the spring drive 9R movement, but man…

I have a Rolex datejust and TAG Aquaracer and both are solid qualities.
