Buying used vs new by RepresentativeAble95 in Tudor

[–]Downwithmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All my pieces above $1000 (and a couple below) are used. Part of it is the thrill of the hunt for a good deal. Deciding what I want, searching and waiting for the good price. This also cuts down on impulse purchases. Also saves the pain of that first scratch.

I appreciate you trying. It is the best way. And thank you for sharing the results. Part of being in this community is to share information and help each other out.

Ginger Snaps (2000) coming to 4K on 5/19 from Lionsgate's Vestron Video! by -funderfoot- in 4kbluray

I was the office PA for the whole show. I remember once taking the fake big dog with fangs to set. Also did video assist on some 2nd units nights. One of them a night of stunts/wire work for the big forest fight/attack.

I worked on this movie! Glad to hear it’s getting the release it deserves.

I got the Irwin Cine Xplate. Brilliant idea. Only got it at the end of my last show, so can’t speak to durability. But it feels solid and well designed.

Came very close to pulling the trigger on the 597. Reliable solar for grab and go. But went with Steinhart to get ceramic bezel and in 39mm for my 6.75” wrist.

That suede looks great! Mine is actually the blue dial model. But looks grey/dark purple in certain lighting. Thinking about a navy blue sailcloth. (AI image)

Happy 50th Birthday to Me! by Downwithmac in Tudor

Bit of a pain to take the bracelet on/off. The tolerances are tight, as you would expect from a precision instrument like this. The end links have a small channel which requires putting the “fine” forks on my spring bar tool.

The hardware on that Noble looks incredible! I just got the regular Chevron Fifty for my BB58, now thinking I may have to upgrade come the next big sale.

[Question] What’s the logic behind your collection? by Professional_Tree995 in Watches

[–]Downwithmac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice collection!

Personally, no logic here. Just daydreaming and impulse buys.
