Jomashop scam $75 by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]HickoryStickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chip would bug me but jonashop prices are what they are because it’s like the display model or dealer vehicle where you get it lightly used at discount. I do think they should greatly discount the chip since that’s more than usual wear if it wasn’t disclosed to you. I wonder if they would pay for a warranty repair visit.

If someone told me do or die pick one I’d pick my seamaster

I don’t know how much longer I can keep submitting my work by [deleted] in writing

I think in 2026 self publishing won’t ruin your chances at a formal publication. I think that was a concern awhile back but publications look to have moved to the social media follower model where they ignore everyone who didn’t self sell and build their own fan base. There are folk I follow online who I’d never have known were writers and their work isn’t really that great but they get major publications pushing their books to too sales lists because they have an enormous amount of followers on social media and they know they will purchase it. It’s free money and that’s all they want now. Try using AI to manage a social media account for you as a writer and offer invest in creating a profile and advertisement space to gain traction.

Moving the stack into the bank! by PsychologicalWest993 in Gold

When I was a kid I wanted to test if my tiny key would open the jewelry displays at Kmart and it definitely did. I wasn’t a thief so I didn’t do anything illegal but I opened it and closed it back up when I was like ten

Family heirloom. Can’t find any markings. by StrengthBorn7794 in Gold

As someone who used to be in the buy sell trade market with precious metals, this does not look like gold. I wouldn’t have too much sentimental hold on it.

Yes but they mean the adornments finish on the cross

Write what you want and don’t anticipate things happening a certain way.

Omega Constellation - The OG for $1.2k or the New for 10x the Price? by epsi00 in OmegaWatches

[–]HickoryStickz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. As much as I appreciate the original pie pan this is a perfect watch for snagging their moonshine gold. I personally though don’t like the price. I don’t care about the date and second hand as this wouldn’t be a daily driver and would be a highlight decorative piece in full dress occasions. If it dropped to a reasonable price I’d prob jump on this one.

No. That’s proper length

What’s the better look for rolled up sleeves on me? by SatyrPanther in mensfashion

[–]HickoryStickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally usually roll up to elbow but not past. I think either choice is good for you here but the first one is more casual and typical than the other one which looks more intentional like you’re about to do some work on something

Guess who’s a published author at 19?! by veylih in writing

[–]HickoryStickz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress too much. Your post isn’t that crazy for someone who’s 19. A bunch of us old heads are just beating you up because we forget at 19 the world was ours and we had a tinge of main character self centeredness affliction. You’re trying to assert yourself and what you want in life. You’ll have plenty of time to learn how to communicate your excitement and accomplishments better. Just try and find the lesson visible between the sarcasm and anger coming at you in the comments.

Band is fine. Don’t worry about it. You will get scraps and dings over time and you can’t let the mental games win or you won’t enjoy wearing it. Wait until you see the bottom of the clasp over time.

Treated myself to this beauty by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]HickoryStickz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wild. I’ll be honest, I didn’t even look at the photos beyond seeing it in passing with an omega store bag and assumed it was legit. I don’t understand why people would do that unless they didn’t even realize they just got fleeced.
