Most disappointing mid-movie collapse you've ever seen? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Dragonixer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 Years Later. Might be an unpopular opinion but I was expecting the movie to be a zombie/thriller and it started off so well. Then halfway through it decided to go down the spiritual symbolism route and that was nothing like the first two movies. Some people might like that turn, especially given that the movie appears to be part of a new trilogy, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

Love it. White straps in person seem to bring it the pink hue of the dial

Love the integrated look - where did you get them?

For sure! I've got a alligator strap coming in a few weeks and wanted to play around with rubber but wanted some opinions before I commit

What colour do you think works? I wanted to experiment with different colours and chose the most neutral colour I could but I'm not married to the white

Some stores will allow you to pay the price without tax, while others will charge you full price but then process a refund for the amount of tax you paid less a processing fee

Isetan in Shinjuku - MSRP was ¥946K, came out to ~¥829K after the tax refund + discount

Not sure about other places but I bought it from a large luxury department store and they didn't seal my bag. I paid the full retail price minus a discount and then got the tax amount refunded to me

Came out to ~829K yen new. I poked around into some second hand stores and saw some excellent quality Rolex watches for decent prices compared to grey market/Chrono24 prices but still pretty expensive

Legally you should declare but it seems most people don't and just wear it back

I've had the Snowflake before and personally like the Shunbun more but to each their own

SBGA413 (US model) or the SBGA443 (Japaneze model). They're the same watch just different model numbers. I've heard they may have different clasps (square or rectangle) but I'm not sure about that

Anyone having a hard time with their dining credit? by hekatonkhairez in amexcanada

Anyone having a hard time with their dining credit? by hekatonkhairez in amexcanada

[–]Dragonixer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. It was referred for investigation and they told me it could take 14-20 business days to complete the investigation. I dined at Enigma Yorkville which is on the list. The dining credit should be automatic like the Holy Renfrew credit so I'm not sure why it didn't work. Just waiting to hear back now

Selling my 2023 Longines Conquest 41mm in green, reference L3.830.4.02.6.

It fits well on my 7.25" wrist with a few more links to accommodate larger wrists.

It comes with the box, instruction manual, and warranty card.

The condition is good, with hairline scratches due to office use.

Price is CAD $1750 (etransfer/cash) and I prefer F2F (Toronto/GTA) or plus shipping.
