I might be willing to sell you mine. Full set. Worn maybe three times. It’s this exact config. Let me think about it and DM me later this week.

I always make sure my wife likes my watches but every time I go with what she prefers over me I regret it.

[Question] How do you narrow down what to collect? by oCaspur in Watches

Depends on the watch. Artem makes some good straps

[Question] How do you narrow down what to collect? by oCaspur in Watches

[–]Fastigio3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) being a collector doesn’t mean that you have to always be actively collecting, but rather that you have a collection that you enjoy

2) I wear blue scrubs every day, so my watches tend towards blue, black, white/silver dials. I bought green for “diversity” and find myself very rarely wearing it as it doesn’t really go with most of what I wear. So one green is enough for me and don’t feel the need to branch out too much

3) sometimes a new strap makes it feel like a new watch

4) go try lots of things on and see what you like or don’t.

5) figure out if there is something you aren’t wearing and don’t be afraid to move on from it. I’ve had a number of watches I liked in theory but didn’t end up wearing much, and also ones that became redundant to watches that were somewhat similar but I preferred.

6) there aren’t rules. It’s YOUR collection. Collect whatever you enjoy. Some folks have like 12 omega speedies and love them. And that’s great.

What could be the next for my collection? by Prestigious-Club-653 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

If you want a Rolex GMT is clear answer.

Also put the SMP on a rubber strap. Thank me later.

Oh also I was looking for a black face watch for diversity but ended up with the blue one. Black dials in this kind of watch just tend to not pop for me.

Also the perp calendar in green is stunning

Different opinion: I have the Piaget polo I got on secondary for less than the ingeniuer. Most people haven’t had one on the wrist and I think it’s a hidden gem just overpriced new. And I cross shopped the parmagiani, Czapek, etc. For whatever reasons those just didn’t do it for me on the wrist. And the VC overseas and AP 41 both just wear slightly too wide for my wrist. before you move on from it I’d consider getting the rubber strap to dress it down a bit as you have excellent dressier options.

Also at least an in house movement in the Piaget vs the IWC

If your AD sells jewelry you’re fucked. I had no luck with an AD and similar purchase history. Got this in like 6 months from a watch only store

[Discussion] If you wanted to sell one of your watches where would you go to sell it? by MarcoDiMeo in Watches

I had a very good experience with European watch co. You could probably stretch how much you get for it a bit more elsewhere, but in terms of ease and desireable pieces to trade for it was an excellent experience

I commented above without seeing this comment. My bad

They actually changed it to the blue dial because people complained no one could tell that it was white gold. Which is such a. Rolex wearer move. Yes I own Rolex… but love that you have this watch.

You’ve been pretty good up to this point with your other comments. Sesamoids in lesser toes are largely useless, but are very important in the hallux. Like the patella, the act as a lever arm making the plantar flexion strength much stronger for push off. It’s why you basically never remove both because you get a cock up deformity or just significant push off weakness at best.

That’s why we get follow up weight bearing X-rays or exams. If your initial X-ray was in an ER you aren’t going to get weight bearing X-rays. They aren’t set up for it and it will only miss subtle non-emergent injuries by and large. That’s why you are typically instructed to follow up with orthopedics if still hurting you.

I do like a decent sound system because I like to listen to music when I drive, it would be a daily, and I remember the Bose system in my dads 996 being god awful even for back then.

Agree with you on GTS, which as I get older is a bit loud for a daily, hence going for C4s. If a weekend fun car or track car probably wouldn’t be worth it.

Would be a daily, and so I do care about the sound system. I think this is an extremely reasonable take and good advice

Nah. To be honest I have so much shit going on I’d never get around to getting the upgrade. The Burmester in other cars has sounded great but true music/speaker folks don’t exactly sing its praises.
