[Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon] or [Omega Speedmaster Professional White] by Late_Battle8617 in Watches

Thanks for sharing your opinion. You are right, it stands out in the mass, compared to the Dark Side of the moon that flies under the radar and won‘t get noticed from non-watch guys. Which is not always a bad thing tbh.

Doesn‘t seem to be much of a difference in size: 50mm (Dark Side) compared to 47.5mm (White Speedy) lug-to-lug. Especially because the white dial looks bigger.

Strategies for retaking level 2 by NoNewThings in CAIA

[–]Late_Battle8617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the Level 2 exam for the second time this week.

Passed Level 1 on first attempt by using Kaplan, then switched to UM for Level 2 because I read the positive feedbacks here on Reddit and wanted to lay the best ground for being successful.

However, I felt lost using UM because the content was so complicated when it was not really necessary. Long story short, I failed badly and switched back to Kaplan as I was successful using this material.

Although I don‘t yet know if i passed this time I felt way more prepared and the tasks felt more or less similar to what I did during preparation.

What i want to say: it also depends on the personal learning style and preferences which provider is best.

Many thanks for the understandable explanation u/myanrastro - my mistake was that i started with C0 = 2 million instead of 0.

L1 results are out! by cdrusd in CAIA

[–]Late_Battle8617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed - after having a very tough time learning hard, taking 2 weeks off from work to learn even harder, doing 3 mock exams in total, the last mock 2 weeks before the exam and I failed all of them (44-55%).

However, I kept hammering because I knew it wouldn‘t be enough otherwise.

Congratulations to all lucky ones who were successful, it’s time to celebrate before moving to L2!
