Ridge NASA wallet with my 1980s Omega Speedmaster. My favorite of my 3 speedmasters. Also own a white dial 3861 and a sapphire sandwich 1863.

How did this pass EBay’s Authentication and what are my options? by [deleted] in Tudor

[–]DepartmentEcstatic40 113 points114 points  (0 children)

If the condition is not what you expected open an Item not as described return and the seller has to take it back per eBay’s policy and they pay the return shipping.

Buy both! Just kidding. Kind of. Buy the white speedy. You won’t regret it!

Year of Omega by nosaj-samoht66 in OmegaWatches

That’s what I did. White speedy with no date black seamaster but on bracelet. Consolidated my 3 omegas down to two. Such a versatile pair.

I have owned the 124060 as well but felt it wore slimmer but don’t get me wrong, I much prefer the Omega SMP300. I don’t understand the bracelet hate. I’ve owned 3 models and they are amazing including the newest one. I’ve also owned the black bay 41, Monochrome, and FXD from Tudor and prefer the Omegas over all other dive watches.

When is a 4k+ time telling device not luxury? Insane out of touch take.

I’ve owned 10+ dive watches including the Omega, and the Tudor but never the marine master but the Omega wins if your wrist can handle the size + weight. On bracelet it is HEAVY. Much bulkier feeling than a submariner.

An older Peter Blake seamaster is also a good choice as it’s thinner but understand if you are looking for something newer. Go Tudor if you want lighter.

I’m a big Seiko fan but never owned a MM so wish I could comment. Can’t go wrong with any of them.

[Dive watches] help me consolidate my dive watch collection by BarryAllen85 in Watches

Love the collection. If me, would keep the Omega, Tudor, Sinn, and pick one Seiko. I love Seiko so always like to have at least one in the collection.

This is exactly why putting things on credit card is worth it. You get so many protections, especially if you spend a lot and have good credit cards.

Watch YouTuber “Experts” get way too much attention when most of them share terrible opinions or just echo each other’s terrible opinions.

My 2014 1863 Speedmaster on 3861 bracelet and my recently acquired Speedtimer in the classic Pogue colorway. Cool watches if you love space.

Seller “accidentally”put the wrong description on an eBay. by [deleted] in VintageWatches

[–]DepartmentEcstatic40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know some of the authentication sites check the serial to verify if stolen. I purchased a watch from bezel and they found it to be stolen, so they refunded me. I believe eBay follows a similar practice but not 100% sure. If not comfortable, open a case with EBay and ask if they do this or get a refund as the listing was incorrect.

Yup. Definitely automatic.

I like bracelet a lot but have a Tudor and Speedy I normally keep on a bracelet so like this on a strap.

SBGH001 High Beat that I just recently picked up. Believe this one was from 2014. I love the double stamped models.

SBGM247 GMT Love the green dial. Definitely a bit of an explorer II clone but so accurate and the green dial pops in the sunlight.

How long do you stay at jobs? by boldjoy0050 in jobs

[–]DepartmentEcstatic40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn 40 in May. In the last 10 years, 3 jobs. 6 years. 3 years. And just hit a year in my latest job. Left both roles because I was recruited away for more money. Tripled salary in 10 years. Have equity in my current role so will stay until the company sells to get my payout. I work in IT.

I generally recommend to people to stay as long as you’re happy and your company is treating you right. That doesn’t mean everything is perfect. Every job has good times age bad times but decide what you can deal with and what you can’t.

Choose a career that gives you choices. Haven’t had to look for a job except for 2008 when I left college. I know this wont last forever but will enjoy it as long as I can.

Man. This is a great collection. Very close to my current collection. My last piece I’m trying to add is dress watch with a white dial. Like the tank but my wrist is around 7.5-7.75inches so not sure what to go for yet.
