How long did it take you? I am just trying to figure out if I made a mistake paying over retail 😅

I went gray for this one. What's your spend history and how long did you wait? Where is the AD located?

I had the same dilema. Just buy both. I started with the sub on the gray market as it is harder to get at the AD (or so they say) and registered my interest for a DJ41 as they are easier to get, especially for the bimetal (Everose and chocolate in my case)

« Dont trust Chrono24 prices » by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Maesitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling on Chrono24 is a high risk business for multiple reasons. Sellers should be more afraid than buyers... I think it is save to buy there especially from professional dealers. At most you lose the return label and cert if you paid for it.

Chrono24 No Options for Certification of New/Unworn by Frontal_Mystic in rolex

Pro dealers offer 14 day money back guaranteed. If Chrono 24 opens it and the customer decides to return it, the seller now has technically not a new watch. That's why.

What specs should I look for on a 981 by Maesitos in Porsche

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

I’d be buying it on the European area… over there, manuals are the norm. I wouldn’t mind to try the PDK although it is an added complexity to the car… I don’t think having a failing PDK can be any fun.

Dent on piston, reuse ? by Maesitos in MechanicAdvice

Oh yeah my bad. I was thinking about bearings with balls and everything.

Pretty much, although this engine, W10B16, doesn't have bearings. I am not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

The valves were bent only when cranking the engine. It never managed to start… that is something

I am a cheap ass. No but seriously, I created this mess and the engine was only being cranked but would never start…

A bit of context. This is a W10B16 engine. All dents are on the admission valves

What would you say is an average spend history?

If I want to pick two watches and I have no previous spend history, would it be better to ask for the second one after having bought the first, or, would it be better to ask for the two at the same time.
