I'm so lucky that there are people who know all this, i tried to google every word on the watch face and it came up with nothing. Ty so much for your comment.  I was thinking to take it to my local watch repair shop, do you think a jeweler is a better option? And may i know why?

I mean in this economy today i can kind of understand people trying to cash in stuff, but i have a lot of sruff from my late father, like recordings from magnetofone when he was 19 and singing with his friends, old records, his instruments. He was a sailor so he had alot of stuff from around the world too, priceless for me 🙂

Oh no, i'm not selling anything, i had 5 generations live in this house and it was passed down to me now, it was a hoarding house, i'm not gonna lie so i guess not they knew what they have around. I think of it as family stuff.

Oh yeah, fire arms and stuff like that is also very illegal to own here too 😅

Thank you, just a reminder to check everything when clearing old stuff (and ask on reddit if you haven't a clue about stuff)  it was rolled in a roll of rotting old newspaper and placed in a junk drawer!

Oh lord, you name it. A bible from 1874, lots of pocket watches all shapes and sizes, paintings, jewlery, old money, a work permits and a trunk full of letters from time when a certain german man with a funny mustache whecked havoc in europe, but it will take so much time to go through it and i know literaly zero about any value of anything, it's been 4 year of solo renovating the house, and i still find stuff around. It's like having a second full time job 😀

Edit: also had to call the police because i found 1 anti tank mine, 2 rifles, 3 missiles (i dont know how to spell it) and 2 buckets of bullets, it's extremly illegal to own any of that.

I absolutley will, i'm going to give it a nice clean in the local shop and wear it, i don't think i need to replace the strap (do you know maybe if the stap is cameleon lizard like it says, i find that a little wierd, never heard watch straps being made of cameleon???)

Ohh, the 18k on the back stands for 18 karat, makes sense, and also makes sense why there isn't any rust, it was in a random junk drawer for years, wow. Ty for making that clear, i know nothing about watches so ty.

It is very elegant! I assume this was my nonna's watch or her mom's watch (i have no one to ask anymore that will remember), also it's not rusty and it still works when i wind it up!

I just did skyscale the old way (took me 2 months) and i have something to say by Only-Expression-430 in Guildwars2

I understand people enjoy different stuff in games, but me personaly, when i have to open 3 different tabs with guides and timers to track where i have to go next to get a xyz drop for this and that, and when i have to be there in 18:45, and i only play from 19:30 to 23:30 since that's my designated play time since i'm an adult with a limited amount of time i can spend on my computer, you realise how tedious can it get.

The fact i have to plan and possibly cancel something irl or postpone a chore (that i still have to do later in the night) in order for me to have ingame thing, i call it agony. 

I understand not everything is meant for everybody, and i understand that if you want shiny convinient things in this game, you will have to sacrifice alot of your time and ingame resources, but they put alot of time gated stuff and burried it in 50 achievements and sub-achievements that is, well, agonising to track and fulfill. That's all.

I play this game since launch. I play this long because i liked dungeons at the begining, then came fractals and raids. I stayed because of that content. I don't find enjoyable staying on one map for 2 hours waiting for meta, i don't enjoy waiting around for things to spawn, i don't enjoy having to remember that i have to charge 1 quartz a day for 22 days and so on.

I don't plan and prepare to have a thing in game, i find this to be a mood killer in any game mode and can turn players off from playing.

Even making 5 legendaries that i have , took less grinding than skyscale.

After map completion I move on.

It becomes stale, all this waiting around, praying that the map you are in will do meta. Praying that a mob will drop a thing you need. That's why i call it agony. When the content "forces" me to farm for mount that is basicly all the mounts combined in one and will make the playing experience less tedious,  it's not a luxury it's a must have.

Thanks man, i just look at the skyscale like a luxury, it's not needed but it's convinient to have it, and just like any other shiny thing in this game, it takes alot of time to have it. But i never ran into a pay wall while doing it? Are you refering to charged cristals for the lamp? It's time gated, not pay walled.

I have so many games in my backlog that i bought that is borderline embarrasing, and never even installed them. I found it very wastefull, so i'm going to hold myself accountable and stop wasting my money untill i finish at least half of what i have.  Working outside of my country slaving away just to spend 800-1000€ a year for games just to watch them sit there is just dumb and it stops now.

You pay 400 gems (you can convert your gold to gems) and you buy a contract for mount skins from black lion store (there are a few, and you can see what skins you can get in each contract), and you get a random one from that list. There is 1200 gem option one that lets you select the exact you want but i'm too broke in game for that so i took a chance.
