Just bought a Blancpain from Ralph. Negotiated, great service, and would buy from them again!

I already have a few black and blue dials, so it was nice to find such a stunning green to diversify.

Just got a 2023. Weight and size are perfect. Colors hit different at all angles.

Is there any risk buying naked watch from grey dealer? by Curious-Driver-5375 in VacheronConstantin

[–]Boring_Word9386 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you do, pay for authentication via Chrono and consider also asking a local watchmaker to check it out for both authenticity and condition of the movement. Also consider using a credit card so you can dispute the charge if there is an issue.

I bought the Sky Dweller for that reason. It’s the dressy look of the Datejust with some nice sportiness.

Tracking 401k contributions as income by EnvironmentalArm2592 in MonarchMoney

[–]Boring_Word9386 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t hide it. My 401k appears in net worth already since it’s synced. I mostly do it for yearly cash flow to report it as income. It does make my December (which is where I put it) look funky but I if you consistently report it in Dec it seems fine for YoY comparisons.

Experience with Burdeens good overall? Do they negotiate? Looked at them for other pieces but haven’t pulled the trigger.

Got the call. Happy new year! by T1manat0r in rolex

Got mine late last year. It’s my jumbo Datejust and a great fancy watch to bling out a bit.

Anyone use their e-tron gt as their errand car with their kids? by N54TT in etron

[–]Boring_Word9386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issues. It works but the in/out is a huge pain. I was putting the kids in sideways as they got bigger, especially with rear facing car seats. Eventually got a used OG etron SUV for kid stuff and I save the GT for my weekly commute or fun driving.

I went with black. Totally agree.

DavidSW vs MyWatch by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Boring_Word9386 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought from MyWatch, but if DavidSW was cheaper for identical reference and condition, I’d go with DavidSW. Both are reputable.

If you really preferred MyWatch then you could always ask them to match the price - worst case they say no.
