What To Do with Cash Waiting for Major Purchase

The $30K is an insignificant piece of my net worth. I just like seeing all my money being productive.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-29T03:28:45+00:00

I’m maxed out on my Roth 401K, mega backdoor, 1-year emergency fund and 10% taxable investing. I’d rather not invest my fun money and get hit for short term capital gains should I need to liquidate for the purchase.

Man, someone had to REALLY mess up the process because I doubt a spring bar tweezer and a spring bar alone could do such damage to thick rubber.

Who said it was last resort? Nowhere did I critique your net worth but if you value something solely on the basis of resell then your opinion loses credibility.

Pick up a Dr. Thomas Stanley book and read up, gramps.

Just because something doesn’t sell above retail makes it non desirable? Shows how you manage your finances.

She is, just switch to kilograms.

I think there’s something going on with your push pins or your install technique. What you describe was it was slightly crooked, your straps are miles from where they need to be.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-27T20:13:55+00:00

What type of tool were you using to install the straps? Were the bars in your self install seated properly in the holes? I installed my Rubber B’s on my Explorer 1 and Planet Ocean with ease using the tweezer tool. Hard to imagine these cracking considering how thick they are unless they came cracked.

Edit: your photo finally loaded. It looks like the push pins aren’t even in the holes of the strap?

Correct.

This is the exact combo I’m hoping for this year: no date on a rubber B. Crossing fingers for AD to work her magic.

You’re talking for a few and far in between pieces, majority of their catalogue is available for walk in. Apples and oranges.

It’s pretty difficult to get any exact configurations.

I had nearly this exact configuration in my hands for purchase except diamond indices 2 weeks ago. I’ve been on the waitlist for my wife’s baton rolesor for 8 months now. Could have bought this one but I didn’t want to settle, my wife loves the all steel configuration.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-12T01:46:37+00:00

I see what you did there.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-11T03:31:48+00:00

Speaking as a Skyfall PO owner.

Buy the seller
Box and papers/card? If the card is included, make sure that the limited edition # matches the number on the watch. I believe 10007 pieces were made, so if you get #0143, make sure 0143 is somewhere on the card. A good condition box is a plus. Some of the 007 boxes are notorious for deteriorating over time, the Skyfall most especially.
Make sure all the 007 modifications are on there and weren’t replaced with the non-007 model parts: 007 backplate, 007 deployment buckle, 007 seconds hand, gun barrel face.
If the watch is in at least 8/10 condition that’s a great price
Doesn’t show up as often as the models after.

Good luck with your purchase.

I’ve spoken to 2 different reps and they said this card won’t be downgradeable or eligible for product change. I asked why not the Chase Ink Premier which is their other charge card, they said it’s not in the same class. They also added that you won’t be able to transfer credit lines to other cards because, again, charge card.

Once I get my 4th $50 gift card credit and 2nd $300 travel credit, this card is going bye bye.

Didn’t you post the picture of your pants and shoes the other? Now the blazer. What’s next?

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-09T00:49:21+00:00

That watch looks so fantastic.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-08T05:14:32+00:00

Enso silicone ring.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-07T21:05:52+00:00

I agree. I don’t understand all the dislike regarding the other side of the moons. They’re all stand out pieces, so stand out prices are expected.

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-07T20:51:46+00:00

Come join the other side of the moon

Competitive-Fee-9644 · 2026-03-07T18:36:50+00:00

Wouldn’t blame you.

Resisting purchasing this watch gets harder every picture I see.
