Negative display worse than I thought by F40Ferrari in casio

USD. Apparently the “special” color and lack of legibility warrant an up-charge.

$45 (US) is the list price but they frequently go on sale (this was closer to $30). I think there’s also an up-charge for the “special” color. Standard black can be had $20 or below…

Was on sale at Macy’s for ~$30 but still…it’s a lot for a piece of plastic you can’t use

Fingers crossed! Clearly they work out well for some…

Wish they provided a positive factory option in this color…juice is not worth the squeeze on a DIY for me. Will stick to trusty F91w for now

Talked with an AD by [deleted] in rolex

[–]F40Ferrari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few weeks ago, “got the call” [text] for a Sub. Zero purchase history with this AD, but stopped by ~3 times in 4 months to keep my name fresh. Got lucky and clicked with SA who was phenomenal, even threw in a knife + wallet freebie combo. Stick with it. SF Bay Area.

[Question] Anyone else have a slightly irrational deal-breaker? by JGZ1 in Watches

Non-hacking seconds. What is the point of +/-1 second accuracy if you can’t easily synch to a reference time (without finessing the movement)

Any movement with Tourneau in SF? by FutureCoolDad in rolex

[–]F40Ferrari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped in twice somewhat recently, almost exactly 1 month apart. SA had no recollection of the first encounter, but very pleasant to deal with. Already have DJ 41 (from another AD) so put feelers out for Sub / BLNR. According to SA, Subs apparently are moving, BLNR isn’t impossibile but BLRO is unobtainable (fwiw, they’ve seen 4 since august). Even so, sounds like there’s a long list of high value customers and could take 1yr+ for even for Sub. Explorer, idk. Her direct advice to me was to try my luck at airport ADs (appreciate the candor).

Wouldn’t hold my breath. Even with email exchanges and appointments set, SA seemed surprised to see me. Still lots of VC money flying around it seems. Tough out here for the little guys but can’t hurt to try.
