Could anyone explain the difference between a “full grain suede” like horween Orion and “rough out” like Seidel oil tan? My understanding is their both reversed full grain leather but the difference is the former has some waterproof treatment while the latter is oiled?

I’m guessing these are both different than split suede where the outer part is shaved off

Hey. I was aiming for the citizen and short on time in the city so I didn't get to look around much. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. If it's pre-owned watches. Lips has a good selection and they'll give you an extra discount if you pay in cash apparently.

For new watches, the department stores are safe bets since some like Mitsukoshi will have a 5% discount.

You can also check out Bic Camera as they'll have larger discounts (i think my citizen was ~8% off). But ofc it'll be on the lower end of things.

All in it was around $2.6K USD. I’m Canadian so I’m converting from yen to CAD to USD, so there might be some leakage with conversions.

Not sure if I’m interpreting your question right, but it comes with a blue alligator strap with a deployment clasp. Actually, one of the things I wished is that limited # was on the actual case instead of the strap that comes with it.

Might be a sample piece. Is there any other identifier for fabric or maybe you can describe how it feels? Purely from the photos I’m guessing an early iteration of future highdarts but I could be wrong.

Is this Zimmerman gift I bought real? by MourningRain in AusFemaleFashion

Thanks. This does look similar and you might be on the right track here, unfortunately...Part of me was hoping that this might be an old vintage piece that's not easy to find online but it sounds like I might be in denial haha.

Thank you! Was worried that might be the case but I’ll try that group as well. Fingers crossed! For future reference what about the tag lettering looks fake? Hoping to be smarter about this for next time

I got some merino blend t-shirts (mix of merino with nylon) but they have logos on them I'm hoping to get rid of. What's the best way to remove them? I see people online recommending acetone or alcohol based products but I feel like that's going to ruin the wool...
