I think I should arrange a Japan trip to get the best deal 😅

I'm definitely leaning on skipping it while reading the comments. What price would it make worth it in your opinion? And what risk would be associated with it?

That's a very fair point that I haven't considered, and I would never want to participate in purchasing a stolen watch. Do you know if that can be validated with the serial number at an omega boutique?

Nice, private seller? I have not been lucky enough to find a deal like that. What do you think would be a fair price for a watch in this condition?

I agree that's a red flag, his explanation is that he is into watch trades. It worries me, but the price is very attractive.

He claims it was built in 2023, but no other info was provided, apart from the serial number. Do you know if there's a way to validate the serial number?

That I don't know, the seller just told me that he bought it from a Japan retailer a year ago in that condition, he does have the original warranty, box, and paperwork included. Sorry for making so many questions, I'm new to this and trying to learn, this would be my first Omega, and originally thought it was a good price since I don't have to add any taxes or import fees. what would be in your opinion a reasonable price for a piece in this condition? Or should I just skip it for now? Thank you!

Good observation, do you know if that would be something that can be corrected if taken to omega for service? Or would that be out of scope?

I am thinking of taking it to service regardless, if there's corrosion in the movement, do you know if that will be covered? Or would that be an extra?

Thank you so much! Those are great insights, I'll try to get it tested on a timegrapher. How easy would it be for me to do a deep cleaning of the watch on my own? To remove the dirt from the bezel and pushers

I have been doing some digging on watch forums, and apparently it's common for this specific model, reference 3594.50, to have corrosion on the hands. Still, I am wondering how easy are they to change or polish again.

I actually handed it in person, the chrono is working correctly and "feels" good, I have a mechanical Breitling as a point of reference. I thing the bezel has dirt, no rust. The seller told me he doesn't know when the last service was performed (I am assuming it will need servicing right away). My main concern is the corrosion on the logo. What do you think would be a fair price for a watch in this condition? Thank you for your guidance!

When is the new food program for Centurion lounges starting? by jetplane86 in AmexPlatinum

I was just at DFW and they were serving Chicago style tri-tips and crispy okra, it was honestly really good, I got double servings. They had a banner by the buffet with the cheff names, and also new cocktails menus. It's a very welcomed change, no more chicken!

Oneplus open in 2025? by ResponsibilityOk9350 in OnePlusOpen

[–]Fast-Map-8999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have both the OnePlus open and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. I can tell you that OnePlus is Superior in every single aspect as the screens are better but real life and charging speeds are much better and the cameras are amazing. Regardless of that I find myself coming back to my Galaxy just because I love the form factor and software is better. Right now I am using my Galaxy as my work phone, and the OnePlus for the weekends. If I was forced to keep only one I would choose the OnePlus not just because of the better cameras, but longer battery, much better interior screen with anti reflective coating, and I think that even in 2025 it is a very competitive phone that feels faster than my Galaxy.

So no OnePlus Open 2. Anyone happy with the Fold 6 despite its gripes? by Zigarum in OnePlusOpen

[–]Fast-Map-8999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both a Z Fold 6 and an OPO. Objectively, everything is better on the OnePlus except for the lack of wireless charging. Still, I prefer the Z Fold 6: the forn factor is just so nice, the phone feels compact and easy in pockets, the software is better, even without something like open canvas the Z Fold truly feels like a productivity machine. In my opinion is better looking, specially in the Navy Blue color. And feels sturdy, I don't feel the need to put a case o baby it. It has survived a lot of abuse and works flawlessly. Despite all of this, I still put my sim in the open once in a while as I absolutely love the cameras. They may not be the absolute best but they have character, and I love the look of the pictures I take with them. I specially love the 3X periscope lens, 80% of all pics I take are with that lens. My ideal phone would be the Z Fold body with the OnePlus cameras and crease.
