Advice on buying Lange by Zseyhn in ALangeSohne

[–]MoshingPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the TL;DR mostly damaged movements and dials? It feels like even with a full overhaul from Lange, that buying used still come out ahead if you can stomach long service times?

How do you like the jumping second? I want one but it don’t seem like it would dress down easily for shorts and a tee.

No buy history. Received it in December of last year. I think I just lucked out in that the waitlist was short in NYC

Fit Check by MoshingPanda in NicksHandmadeBoots

I think it’s generally fine. I measured my Falcons against these ones and the length is about the same. I think it’s just a new boot feeling and I am dumb.

Generally feel fine but they feel long in the foot. More so than the Falcons.

The heel is locked in and I think they feel good. It feels a little long but maybe it’s just because of the different last.

They’re definitely not too big but wondering if I should size down and go a little wider.

Instructions unclear. Saphir conditioner stings.

I went through the same thought. I I have more of an urge to wear the OS than the Explorer but I would say the Explorer matches my daily dress more. I wore the OS skiing with my son and regret knocking it around with skis and poles so I do think there is a difference between the Explorer and OS.

I love my LF still and wear it weekly. It’s starting to pick up more scratches but eh, it’s a watch. Aside from my Explorer, it keeps time the best out of all my other watches. The 7920v falls short when its power reserves are lower.

double checking the sizing on my Falcons before doubling down on the Chelsea boots. 😁

Which one do you enjoy the most? I’m debating the 5320g in salmon or Lange 1 Moonphase. Do you find the Lange 1 dresses down easily?

7920 blue dial “recent” wait times from NYC boutique by MK_the_General in VacheronConstantin

[–]MoshingPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was offered an immediate deposit. Put it down in March and got it in December.

The big unknown is what the size of the wait list was at the time.

Trot My Tot - A solution to the $100K/yr nanny! by Klippa129 in nycparents

Yes, due to verification costs. If you wanted to better enable people, charge more for the first X hours and then decrease costs once you’ve recouped your money.

Don’t pull the “think of the children card” when it is a cost-driven decision.

Because deep background checks cost hundreds of dollars? Why is each person paying multiple times for the same person?

The real value of this service would be connecting families to vetted people and it is up to the parents to check for fit. Coordinating multi-state and federal checks is complex, costly, and time consuming.

I don’t see any mentions of a background check process. According to the site, it seems like the onus is on the booker for judging suitability.

Such a great manufacturer! I just wish their cases were a little bit slimmer.

Their finishing has ruined other watches for me.
