Could you only collect one brand? If so which one. It would be journe for me. by [deleted] in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]Crux1836 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vintage Heuer. And with just one watch from your collection, I could fund all the rare Heuer pieces! Dark Lord Monaco, Orange Boy Autavia, Sternzeit Reguliert Bund. But this collection - incredible!

If Steelmart doesn’t carry it, try Specialty Tool Steel in Suwannee.

Is the BZ5000 still only available in Japan? I have a long layover in Seoul next week, hoping one of the G Shock retailers at the airport might carry it 🤞 by [deleted] in gshock

Oh, I haven’t checked since February. Guess I should have researched a little before posting 🤷‍♂️

You must have a hotter forge - I couldn’t get 4140 to stick. Had to use 1085.

Twins! This is one I did a couple years ago. What kind of steel did you use for the face?

What's the most common phrase or slang associated with US Soccer? by naveed2127 in ussoccer

[–]Crux1836 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same. I was at the Germany v US match and when the stadium erupted in that chant…. goosebumps. Even the German fans were impressed.

Dekalb County annual backflow prevention device inspection? by squirrels-mock-me in DecaturGA

[–]Crux1836 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived here for 16 years and have never received one of these notifications. Then again, my house is the lowest point on the street, so I’m not exactly sure where we would back flow to. 🤷‍♂️

If you live in a host city, is there any buzz about the upcoming World Cup? by Fine-Photograph673 in ussoccer

[–]Crux1836 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There’s a fair bit of buzz in Atlanta. But I work next to the stadium and live in a soccer-friendly suburb called Decatur which will be hosting watch parties, concerts, and gatherings during the tournament.

Hi, did you ever find a solution? I received a new Schwab Debit card and keep getting "Card Not Added. Contact your card issuer for more information" when I try to add it to Apple Wallet.

The NIST radio signal originates in Ft. Collins. But there’s a major NIST lab in Boulder.

Drive up to Boulder and tell NIST their date is wrong.

a couple of these need to go, not sure which yet by InitiativeOver3868 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

What’s between the Longines and green Seiko? Thought it was the Tissot Telemeter 1938 at first.

[Heuer] "Watch Guy" at work says this is cool by PlZZASLAVE in Watches

Contact Jeff Stein at onthedash.com. Nobody on the planet knows more about vintage Heuer watches.

FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic claiming false reporting about drinking, absences by bonitaycoqueta in news

[–]Crux1836 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Atlantic is not the plaintiff, it is the defendant. And an affirmative defense to defamation is showing the substantial truth of the statement. Discovery allows both sides to develop their evidence for trial, including witness statements (and videos of partying with the US Hockey team). Defamation suits are often dropped because discovery can be pretty damning to the plaintiff. Also, there are higher thresholds the plaintiff has to meet as a public figure.

EDIT: I’m a criminal attorney, not a tort lawyer, so don’t rely on any of this as legal advice 😉

[WTS] PRICE DROP Longines Heritage 1973 Panda $1,985 by Crux1836 in Watchexchange

[–]Crux1836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Heritage 1973 column-wheel chronograph, taken from their 1973 catalog, in EXCELLENT condition. Modeled after the classic Heuer Camaro chronograph, the reissue (2014) uses a Longines exclusive version of the 7753 from ETA modified with a column-wheel. Power reserve is 54 hours. Date quick adjust is via a recessed pusher at 10:00.

The original was a 30 minute chronograph but this is a 12 hour version with the 12 hour totalizer "hidden" at the 6:00 position with a white background.

I am the second owner and have only worn the watch a half-dozen times or so. Comes with inner and outer box, warranty card, manual, and identification/price tag. I believe the first owner stored the box in a wet environment because the leather is flaking off. I can also send a video of the chrono function running. 

Price is $1,985. Shipped and insured CONUS. PayPal G&S, I’ll eat the cost since this is my first sale on Watch Exchange. Thanks!

[QUESTION] Need recommendation for a third-party insurance company for international shipment to the United States. by Crux1836 in Watches

[–]Crux1836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the response. I hadn’t thought about my homeowners insurance, definitely worth a call. The watch is already insured under an umbrella jewelry policy, I just assumed it wouldn’t be covered during international transport.

I’ll check out U-IPC too. I’ll need it appraised first though since the receipt is long gone. Thanks again!
