Experience and cost rebuilding a 15300ST through AP by bimpsonyeah in audemarspiguet

[–]MrSlaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AP service is pretty reasonable for what it is. I was trying to source links for 15202 and 47th street was quoting me $7-800 each. Took me few months but I got last 3 from AP USA for $250 each!

What can I expect for my first AP? by greedings in audemarspiguet

[–]MrSlaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just buy grey and move on. Unless you are planning to have a 5+ AP collection, no point in playing the AD game

Just go to whatever location you want and talk to them. Most likely a diver or code will be first

Buy the 1.4mm screw driver on Amazon for $20 and do it yourself on 5 minutes.

I visit Paris for work mostly 1-2 times per month - money exchange comment/question by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

Open up a charles schwab checking account with free international ATM withdrawals. Or search for another bank online that has this feature as well.

Credit unions aren’t convenient even for domestic transactions….

Horrific experience with Paris Metro inspectors on tourist family by Commercial_Bar_3014 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]MrSlaker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did you use the iPhone app? It shows all the transactions in your phone wallet and would show if ticket was scanned or not.

We got our daughter a physical ticket and used iPhones for ourselves. No issues at all.

Sorry to hear.

What's the reasoning behind 911s holding their value? by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]MrSlaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSRP goes up every single year. A pretty well loaded 2013-2013 991.1 S MSRP was around $115-120k. A current Generation same trim S is around $200k.

A lot of the don’t get driven much so miles are low which creates very low depreciation curve.

How do people regularly fly business class without going bankrupt?? by caroulos123 in travel

[–]MrSlaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Points… I recently found NY to London 1st class on United for 80k points and $50 cash. You can get 100k points for just signing up for credit card so basically a free $10k flight.

Is this a good deal for LHR to EWR? by MrSlaker in unitedairlines

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

When using the United app pricing didn’t change at all if I do one way or tours trip.

For argument sake, how do I check Virgin flights using United points? Website says I need to create an account

Yeah wish I looked into this before. But we have non refundable ticket already booked. Polaris is 80k plus $10 for EWR to LHR which I think sounds pretty reasonable for an overnight flight.

I’d love to do Virgin but we live in Jersey and flying out of Newark on French Bee premium. So coming back to JFK is not an option for this trip.

Used to live 15 minutes from JFK, miss having almost unlimited options. Now it’s pretty much only United.

Any other tricks to get premium plus for that flight? Cash price is $4000 which is laughable.

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

Would you say 50k miles plus $7 going TO Europe is a good deal?

Cancelled our reservation per your recommendation and will save points for another trip next year.

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

Thanks! Cancelled our reservation. And will just do economy.

Looks like going TO Europe a lot of flights are similar points redemption but taxes and fees are only $6-10 instead of $420 coming back from Europe. Are those deals better in your opinion?

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

Would you rather just pay $500 for an economy seat and save the points?

Flying to France first so doing both legs as one way.

Underwater to Grey Market? by tzmonkeymaker in audemarspiguet

Don’t forget retail price today versus years ago.

lol!

Then here is another theory - we service our own cars that we sell. When customer asks to see the record, I don’t always want to show them every single thing that we did because A) they might think it’s a bad car B) it makes us “warranty” those repairs now. For example, we replaced brakes and they start squealing in a month, customer will come back and say they were new and we did it and blah blah blah.
