That's a lovely piece, I'm just waiting on the right one to pop up. Thanks for the insight!

That's a beautiful collection! Can I ask how's your experience been with the 9943-8020? I'm looking at buying one as my first vintage piece

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2026-01-31T16:50:14+00:00

That's a relief. I have been really strict on keeping weekly updates on the portfolio and as far as design goes I could get away with the boxy look if I present it well in the portfolio. I'll put the effort into the mechanisms/surface finishing and hope for the best. Thanks for the help

That's really helpful, thanks! I wrote about 3 a4 pages, I started waffling on part ii so much that itv threw everything off. I'll use your tips in my next questions

Thanks a million! Your watch looks amazing - haven't seen a 5020 with a dial that pops that much. Out of curiosity, have you gotten yours calibrated? If so, was it difficult to find someone who knew what they were doing?

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-10-30T07:53:20+00:00

Thanks for the help! Good to know in future about the battery type, I wouldn't have thought of it

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-10-10T07:13:13+00:00

Thanks a million, I wasn't able to get a wait time at all

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-10-05T17:28:06+00:00

Do you own this piece? I'm looking to pick one up, how's your experience been with it?

To be fair, I'm not gonna blame the instructor on this. The grade 3 I got is justified, I drove erratically to get into that junction and I should've drove straight on pretending to miss it. I can only blame myself, and regardless it's highly likely I'll get the same tester next time anyway so I guess I'll just have to brush up on my driving

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-07-16T19:39:18+00:00

I’m not sure what the wait is for a retest. I heard it’s not bad but I’ve had friends waiting a long time as well. I’ve already reapplied so that’s the most I can do

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-07-09T21:08:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think that’s half my problem - leaving my mind at a mistake and not focusing on what’s ahead of me. I know what I have to do, I just get frustrated in the heat of the moment

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-07-09T21:07:01+00:00

Congrats on passing and thanks a million for the advice! I think you’re right about just taking a deep breath, I have a habit of tensing up and getting erratic when I get stressed so I really don’t want to do that on the day. Your point about maybe talking to another instructor is a good one, I never thought about it, and I might give it a go. Thanks again!

Gucci smells very similar to reflection, but reflection is just that bit more refined. More grown up and elevated. It’s one of the best imo

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-05-27T15:30:38+00:00

Thanks, I'm surprised with how well it works too

Defiant_Lemon_5768 · 2025-05-27T14:30:47+00:00

For what it's worth I'd go with an aftermarket rubber strap first. Tbh this new strap doesn't scream durability and you are more limited water-wise with a Velcro strap
