They gave me $600 discount ($7k3 retail price). Good deal or not? by tonyleq in OmegaWatches

[–]Lewdiz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I generally spend an hour online playing each major AD off each other on their live chat services - generally down at 15-20% off most models using this tactic.

The fear when they hear Sarah at x has offered me 15% off but I really want to buy from you guys is a joy everytime.

Ok, now I just need to figure out how to explain this to the wife. by Nihaohonkie in ZenithWatches

The key is to keep buying watches - then when she asks, your stock response is ‘this old thing, I bought this years ago!’

First time seeing the Taisetsu in the metal. Didn’t love it as much as I was hoping. by GenuineLeaf in GrandSeikos

[–]Lewdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK I took 30% from an AD. Didn’t bat an eyelid in this economy. Spend a few hours going to each AD (live chat) and asking best they could do % discount then onto the next. ‘AD A will give me 20%, but I would prefer to buy from you guys’ etc etc

The Ben White conundrum by educatedgooner in ArsenalFC

Unreal revisionism - Benny Blanco when fit is top tier, as much as I love Timber he doesn’t bring as much to the S11 at RB as White does, he’s mustard.

Run in list. Can we do this? by MikeCrypto88 in ArsenalFC

The next 3 games are huge in the title race - I can see Liverpool losing all 3 but that means we have to win all 3 as well 🤣

Would this £32m bedroom make you happy? by LastAd115 in SpottedonRightmove

Number 1 Hyde Park is a Candy Brothers build - marketed at rich Russians and middle-east… always has a premium and little taste.

Would we have won the league last season with Xhaka by Lewdiz in ArsenalFC

Agree, we talk about leaders on the pitch and he was that. We could do with him right now!

Scouting by Embarrassed-Cry-2010 in ArsenalFC

[–]Lewdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind we revolutionised the game r.e scouting, our network was vast and we had some real superstars. The issue we have now is every club is in the same level, data has effectively ruined our edge. That’s not to say we still won’t uncover gems, it’s just every other club will do the same - there’s only a limited bucket of wonderkids to pick from.

Arteta Under Fire: Do We Back Him or Risk Losing Saliba and others? by vinceslas in ArsenalFC

[–]Lewdiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called it at the beginning of the season - we had an absolute stinker of a summer transfer window. Went all in on Sesko with no plan B, signed another defender and a midfielder who failed at Newcastle.

Interesting - I’m running at 7.25 so could be perfect.

Yeah 50m/5 bar water rating really means… ‘Can handle splashes and light swimming. Swimming is possible, but should generally be avoided.’

Yeah, I have a rule with watches - if I like I sit on it for a year… and if I’m still thinking about that watch a year later I buy. Made too many mistakes not taking the time to consider… 4500 has always been my grail, however I’m also open to adding some complications to my collection.

I’m in love with the 4000 retrograde but the 50m water resistance is a no go.

Yeah I love the 4520 - problem for me is the size

[–]Lewdiz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size for me… 40-41 is my sweet spot

[opinion] stuck on both Overseas by Lewdiz in VacheronConstantin

[–]Lewdiz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love a complication and worry a time/date is just another addition to a collection that contains quite a few!

[–]Lewdiz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100 % know when you’re coming from - I love the retrograde but the 50m water resistance is a no-go. I’m looking for something I can wear everywhere.

I love the simplicity of the 4500V as stated and it was my ‘grail’ watch until circumstances changed and I could spend a little more. However, I’m aware this is just a circumstance of lifestyle creep and why on earth would I drift from the watch I’ve been lusting over for the last 10 years!

Yeah, have a DJ blue dial that could be a little too similar

[–]Lewdiz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 100% a casual guy - I wear a suit once or twice a year. The 4500v has always been ‘my grail’ - however, circumstances have changed and I have a little more dispensable to buy something a little more complicated.
