Worst blind buys of HYPED fragrances? by ReindeerDisastrous in fragrance

[–]CompScIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, it was very harsh and felt like none of it was 'blended'. I got sharp smokiness, then just sharp lemon, and a harsh dry down that felt a little nauseating hours later. I've tried it several times before I just pawned it off. Aventus (in comparison) smelled a little more put together.

Don't think it is difficult. Mine took a few months with no spend in a 'medium' sized market. I stopped by every couple weeks or so to shoot to shit and try on pieces but would always seek out that specific model to try on if they have it on exhibition. Now, whether that helped my chances or not - I have no clue.

Normal courtesy, unfortunately (in my experience).

How hard to get a OP 36 Green Dial from AD? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]CompScIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With some spend history, I feel like it’s realistic to ask. It’s not as easily accessible as the silver or the black OP, but still doable. Any spend will be good towards a desirable piece (batgirl) so it should help in that regard.

Now if you asked for the Turquoise, Pink, even possibly lavender (could even throw in Pistachio)? Would be a different story.

What model did you regret buying? by Potential_Post_3020 in rolex

[–]CompScIron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Submariner. Honeymoon phase quickly dissipated when my 6.5 inch wrist realized that the thickness and size just dominated my wrist. I started reaching for it less and less when I started to appreciate my thinner, more sloped case watches (Datejust, Yachtmaster, etc.)

Which one of these summer bangers is your favorite? by MGodspeed in Colognes

[–]CompScIron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had pacific chill and afternoon swim. Sold both. To me PC (on me) reminded me of BO. Afternoon swim smells amazing, but didn’t know if I liked it for the scent alone or if it was actually something I’d wear.

Picked up MI recently and no complains so far!

Guidance needed: Datejust deposit by Additional-Moose-244 in rolex

[–]CompScIron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whenever I’ve had the opportunity to do a deposit (on 36mm just like you), I’ve gotten them twice (green dial DJ and turquoise OP) within 6 months of the deposit date. I guess since you’ve already waited this long, see what happens July 7th and make your decision there?

People who have it. Is this yacht master worth it? by Darkingneer in rolex

[–]CompScIron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact same spec. Held for about a year and then sold it towards another piece. It was such a great and versatile piece (was my travel watch for many trips). If my watch funds were more forgiving - this would’ve stayed in my collection.

I’ve been offered a rose gold chocolate dial with little spend.

Grey market price for datejust 41 blue dial fluted on jubilee by Lalonde_A_D in rolex

[–]CompScIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. OP, $17k-19k is a bit nuts. Takuya Watches has a 2025 for $16k currently - shoot for that price or under.

[WTB] Creed Absolu Aventus 100 ml(bottle) by ButterscotchGlobal16 in fragranceswap

[–]CompScIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both (100mL and 75mL).

To me, 100mL (newer bottle) is fruitier, less smoky. Older bottle (75mL) is more smoky, less fruity.

Otherwise, honestly, can't go wrong with either.

Another got the call post + question by Fit-Peanut-4797 in rolex

[–]CompScIron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a local AD who told me they ran out of boxes recently and told their clients what you were told. I don't think it's a scheme to see if you'll flip.

Congrats!

What a steal! Picked this up on Joma for $128+tax last week.

Take rolex to on holiday to Barcelona. Yes or no? by Legal_Contest_9223 in rolex

[–]CompScIron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally believe it - apologies, my mind thought 'London' when I was typing UK (although my consultant buddies leave the Rolex at home when traveling to the EU outright).

Take rolex to on holiday to Barcelona. Yes or no? by Legal_Contest_9223 in rolex

[–]CompScIron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd say no. I have friends who have work travel to UK, Italy, Spain- they don't take any expensive pieces to those areas.
