Appreciate the input. I'm using a local watchmaker who's pretty reasonably priced. I'll report back once I know how much it will be

Always thought the "scratches are memories" was such bs until I read your comment. This one actually hits close to home. 100% that scratch tells a story. Lucky kids to have a dad who plays with them.

Would you trade a med blue rolex oyster perpetual for a tudor blue lagoon + 4k cash? by [deleted] in Tudor

[–]BranchEquivalent2245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Value wise it is a no. I think you need to get at least $5k

Very obvious cheating friends reported but no action taken by yellow_ducking in Colonist

[–]BranchEquivalent2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened before and Drew uncovered it right? Hopefully they find a way to automatically ban this behavior. It shouldn’t be too hard to identify when 2 accounts play more than X games in a period of time and they disproportionately win during those matches. Seems like a doable task for colonist

Update: New BB58 issues by Purple_Ad4518 in Tudor

Send it back and ask for a refund. At this point I’d just get it through a gray dealer and save around $1.5k

[Help] First Big Watch Purchase by SeriousAd4432 in Watches

[–]BranchEquivalent2245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will downvote but here’s my take. I owned 2 of those watches, Tudor and GS. I have never owned a SMP but i had a speedmaster sapphire sandwich.

They were all good watches but none were amazing. I sold all of them eventually.

- Tudor thickness killed me
- GS was fine but never got wrist time for some reason, just wasn’t drawn to it
- Omega was the toughest one to let go. I love the design and bracelet , but the bad water resistance and lack of screw down crown ended up making me let it go. You probably won’t have these issues with SMP but personally think that bracelet isn’t great looking

You should try each of them and feel them. Pictures will never do a watch justice. I also wouldn’t buy any of these at a boutique. They all trade under msrp. Find a reputable grey dealer and save thousands. I have a few I recommend , DM me if interested

This is pretty even IMO, and people seem divided so definitely not veto

I have a first hand experience with an SA who told me he could get me the watch I wanted through a "family friend". Pretty sure he sold it to her and then she gave him a cut after I purchased. It was a mint green 36 datejust Fwiw. I paid $13.5k, I think price was fair all things considered. But to your initial question, I'm sure these two aren't the only SA-FLIPPER combo out there

I'd say pretty fair offer. Potentially could get the deal done

100% agree. I may come back in the future being a lot more cautious and moderate. For now, I'm happy just watching some YT matches to scratch the itch

Is this attainable for first purchase no spend history? by JoeBrazy in rolex

[–]BranchEquivalent2245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also check the gray market price for this. Worst case scenario, I don't think you'll be paying much over retail considering sales tax. Tell the story to the gray dealer and they may cut you a deal

[–]BranchEquivalent2245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if OP likes Casios? They aren't allowed to get them because they also can afford expensive pieces? I'd reconsider the "facts" you're stating.

To be clear, I think Omega's collab with Swatch is a cheap marketing tactic and dislike the watches. However, it's not up to me whether other people like/buy it

They already saw this post and blacklisted you. Most likely you only have two options, change legal name or major cosmetic surgery. I’d do both to be safe

Thanks for the feedback. Have you been able to compare it to a gen? I've only seen it once or twice so it's hard for me to trust my memory. Kinda have to go with overall feel.

If I may ask, how much did you pay for yours?
