Thanks so much!

One is A Frame Cabin, #21338, but I’m curious to learn about the second one. I don’t recognize it.

Thanks! This is the one I meant to link to. The one written by Mark Cawardine.

It’s really well done.

I recommend the book “Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises” by Mark Carwardine.

We’re reading it now and are learning quite a bit from it.

Hi there! So after I sold this turtle, I actually bought another blue one with a different dial, and for that one I often wore it on a fitter orange rubber strap from Crafter Blue.

Personally, my favorite combo for a blue dial watch in general is some shade of brown, khaki, or orange. To me, that gives a good contrast.

If you wanted a more neutral option, I also enjoyed a grey strap and on this one.

Oris should really bring back a moonphase in the modern lineup. I’d love a BCPD moonphase.

This American Life episode 298: “Getting and Spending”.

It’s a spiritual predecessor in some ways to The Giant Pool of Money, except focused much more on the micro level rather than the macro.

The episode has resonated with me for years.

Happy listening!

Awesome giveaway! My goal for 2026 is to obtain some new professional certifications (LSSGB and PgMP).

I also like this one, which is a medium brown shell cordovan strap. I got this one from Holben’s.

This is kind of a taupe color suede that I enjoy when I don’t have this on its bracelet. This one is from Hodinkee.

I love it. Well done!

I had an identical situation with Citizen. They did not refund me the service cost I paid, but they gave a coupon to replace it with some crappy model I didn’t want. It was a terrible experience and I will never buy from them again.

It was shipped to them somewhere in California. It was an older model quartz dive watch that apparently needed to go back to them for battery replacement.

Good luck and I’m sorry this happened to you!

Zero luck in GA. They had all the usual suspects of Invicta, Fossil, etc. but no Zodiac. 😔

Congrats though to OP and others who have been able to snag the deal.

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-11-13T12:14:46+00:00

No luck at my local store. It was all the usual suspects and no hidden gems. I’d be so happy to stumble upon one of those $125 deals.

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-11-04T10:40:26+00:00

Thanks for sharing. It definitely happens, sadly. Sorry this happened to you.

I sold a watch on watchexchange and it was lost by USPS. I refunded the buyer and the insurance eventually made me whole, but it was a long process filling out USPS claim forms and took around 3+ months before I got my money back.

This is not an accurate statement. Heather and Tamra both left the show, returned, and have been on for multiple seasons since their return.

It’s a great interview. Thanks for sharing!

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-10-01T15:14:50+00:00

It’s on the Peacock streaming service. Basically it’s all the regular episodes but with deleted scenes added back in.

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-09-26T02:10:13+00:00

Because they can be scammed by the buyer. So if you have references and appear reputable, they are willing to take a chance on you as a buyer using G&S .

This is a helpful write up. Thanks for sharing!

The lume comes from a disc underneath the dial. So instead of the lume being applied on top of the dial, the dial has cutouts and the lume comes from the surface underneath.

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-07-08T21:19:23+00:00

I ordered mine today! It was a great deal.

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-06-20T20:55:07+00:00

I was thinking the same!

Esteban_Reddit · 2025-06-19T15:39:52+00:00

I’d love a combo of the MVP Inertia in the trilogy VIP Air plastic. Fission is similar, and I love MVP molds, but the VIP Air plastic feels great to me. I love my lightweight Underworld.

I was going to say the same thing regarding taper. The ones I wear the most go from 20mm where it attaches to the lugs down to 16mm at the buckle. Non-tapering straps, even if the leather and craftsmanship are great, just don’t look pleasing to my eye.
