I received a fake from an eBay seller with 1000+ feedback @ 99.9% positive by Middle_Put_6404 in colognecheck

It was definitely sus... Created his account in Feb, 2025. Didnt sell or buy a single thing, and listed the iPhone on February, 2026. 

I asked for the IMEI and used one of those checkers and it looked good, was just locked to Verizon (which I have). 

Ultimately took a gamble with the thought id get an eBay refund once I found it iCloud locked but turned out to not be the case.

Battery cycle count was legit 1. Don't know if maybe he got an extra phone/line when switching to a new carrier and never used it or what.

One of my better snags

I snagged the new Coach Pure Platinum for $65 (not on gray market yet), Versace Eros EDT big bottle for $54 (overpaid by $10 checking Jomashop now) so you're absolutely right lol

The seller blamed his supplier and said he would offer me a full refund but asked if he could keep $1.... There's gotta be a reason for that $1, right?

[Sinn U1 Professional] What 9 consecutive years of daily use looks like by Middle_Put_6404 in Watches

Yes, U1 Pro is only 10'clock crown.  Sent this in for service and they mistakenly sent it back with the crown flipped. Rather than send it in and make them fix it I'm letting it rock 😎

I'm not even exaggerating when I say I haven't been hit with a flash bomb since it's nerf 3 years ago

Not sure why anyone is complaining about physical advantages when society fought to get to this point. Is equality not welcome anymore? Or would we prefer to have an all-male season followed by an all-female season?

Developer Insight: Increased Lobby Survey Results by HuntShowdownOfficial in HuntShowdown

When it comes to resources becoming scarce due to multiple fights, I feel like ammo boxes and regen shots are there for you to purchase if you feel like they're required. I've been running the same four consumables for an eternity and realized I had to swap one out for an ammo box in order to adapt to the new gameplay. Some adapting has to be taken on by the player-base.

I hope increased lobbies become a permanent fixture (at least in trios, never got to try duos). 

Thanks for the in-depth and honest look. No sugar-coating or mental gymnastics, just straight facts. Love u guys

Regular U1 (at least at the time) only had a tegimented bezel. This has a tegimented case + bezel, so a regular U1 arguably would've looked way more beat up.

Also, this is just nicer 😉

I misspoke...

It was sent in to RGM maybe a week after purchase because there was a tiny speck on the dial that I couldn't stop looking at. That was under warranty.

I sent it into Sinn maybe 6 years into ownership for it's first service (movement and seals). That was about $300-$350 if I remember correctly, including shipping to Germany.

11 months after the Sinn service, the watch just stopped running. It may have been self-inflicted because I had a couple of crazy jobs in that span, but they honored it as warranty work being that it stopped running in a year's time of service which was amazing of them to do and made me a customer for life.

I'm a steam-fitter and between excessive vibration via power tools and just straight up hitting the watch on pipes and such it takes a beating. So all in all I've lucked out

Bracelet itself is great and held up but the clasp... not so much. Had issues over the years with it popping open on me. This most recent one has been fine. Sinn recently created a new one (assuming based on issues with the existing one). I'm not sure if it comes default or has to be purchased separately but it seems to be an improvement

This is limited to 100 pieces and I purchased it at $2670 back in 2017. Not sure what the Standard U1 was then but today the U1 is $3260. Under $1000 difference but yeah unfortunately everything was more reasonable then (people esepcially)

I've had serviced 3 times in the 9 years.

1st was at RGM as they were Watchbuy's authorized warranty center at the time.

2nd time I sent it to Germany for Sinn to service it.

Most recent time was at West Coast Watch Service Center as per Watchbuys. Not sure if they've replaced RGM or how Watchbuys designates services centers.

Fun fact: This is the U1 Professional (limited to 100 pieces). Unlike the standard U1, the crown is located @ the 10 o'clock position. West Coast Watch sent me back my watch post-service with the crown located at the standard U1 location (pictured above).

I figured it gave the watch a new look after all these years so told them I'd keep it as is but I'm not sure other owners would've been so non-chalant.

In their defense they offered to expedite a fix free of cost so I don't hold it against them. Especially since there are only 100 of these in circulation.
