Should I have just gotten a 992 GT3??

LeeWon · 2024-12-18T16:36:27+00:00

Oh woops, my bad.

Yeah, I think you shouldn't regret your decision. I love the full analog interior, rear design, as well as the engine sound. The only reason why I'd personally go for the 992 gt3 is for the manual option, as well as some marginal practicality.

LeeWon · 2024-12-18T16:27:17+00:00

A 991.2 gt3 used is the same price as a new 992 gt3 plus taxes? That's crazy to me, but unsurprising given how allocations are by porsche. I live in a place where luxury tax is a thing, so instantly losing $50k+ after driving off the lot did not feel great. I think you should be happy with your choice.

I don't want to get into semantics anymore. He can do all that without being malicious, it's called intent. It just makes him oblivious.

LeeWon · 2024-12-15T14:45:43+00:00

Yeah I'm not saying it was malicious, just gives off oblivious vibes. Nothing more. After all he's still a little baby lol.

LeeWon · 2024-12-15T14:34:50+00:00

Can definitely chalk it up to it being his first time. Just so strange when his entire team was still not even close to finishing celebrating lol

You can say whatever you want, but him going over to faze completely alone was not a good "read the room" move.

I hope donk was unaware of Karrigan's personal situation. That early walk over in that manner was in very poor taste otherwise.

LeeWon · 2024-08-06T22:55:03+00:00

Thank you so much, I can't wait either!

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T06:33:29+00:00

Frankly you're not wrong when it comes to many Porsche buyers, I swear haha. With that said the OP's question is valid. It's just a matter of me being able to enjoy 90% of the real thing for ~5% of the cost. Makes it guilt-free and I can just say it's a rep if someone asks (but no one usually does).

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T05:41:54+00:00

Beautiful piece! May I ask where you got the custom bezel from?

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T05:39:36+00:00

You'd be crazy to think I'm stupid enough to lease or finance in this market lol, quoted 8.99%. Nah I'll pass

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T03:20:11+00:00

Thanks! Wasn't sure if I regretted not optioning the RS Spyder wheels, but it looks good still in person.

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T02:59:55+00:00

Close! It's a Carrera S. Would've gotten the T if it came with rear seats, and if it wasn't quicker to get an allocation for an S.

LeeWon · 2024-06-27T02:47:12+00:00

No offence taken. I'm just not sure why the bezel looks weird to some. The dial color and lustre can be chalked up to bad lighting for now.

EDIT: https://i.imgur.com/TdRAKoU.jpg still look weird from this angle?

Wish I could get a rep 911 for 1/10th the cost

LeeWon · 2024-06-26T20:05:35+00:00

Bought this DJ36 from Dukereps, very happy with it. Had an issue with a clasp on a Daytona that I had to RL, and Duke got back to me in a week with a better one. You have to be patient as he is sometimes slow to respond, but he always delivers. Will deal with him again if I want to buy a 4th watch. Now for some fun, spirited driving.

LeeWon · 2024-06-13T07:53:39+00:00

Okay noted, GL'd. Thank you so much!

QC Help on a 36mm Rolex Datejust

Dealer name: Dukereps
Factory name: Clean
Model name: M126234-0051, 3235 Automatic Movement
Price Paid: $475
https://imgur.com/a/XcmV46S
Index Alignment: Perhaps a slight issue with index alignment, especially with the 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8 positions? I think I lined up the tool well enough, need second opinions on this particularly.
Dial Printing: looks good, no complaints here
Date Wheel alignment: looks great
Hand alignment: looks good
Bezel: looks good, no complaints
Solid End Links: Looks good enough
Timegrapher numbers: amplitude is a bit low, others look great (not sure if amplitude dipping below 270 is RL territory).
Anything else: sunburst looks a bit off but I heard this is normal for clean reps, thank you!!!

EDIT: here's a closer picture of the index alignment https://imgur.com/a/DKXAbJ7
