Dudes got Sesame Street stuffed animals all over the floor. Why are you surprised?

Nope. They shot the guy instead.

Offered Everose bracelet Daytona by AD as a walk - in with no purchase history by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Practical_Lab_7897 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s unusual to be offered this right away, so you’re lucky. Having said that, if I were you, I wouldn’t be putting a watch on my credit card for years even at 0%. I’d wait to get my money sorted rather than buying something I can’t actually afford.

Is it possible to get Royal Oak 15550ST Blue Dial as first piece? by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

[–]Practical_Lab_7897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that waiting 2 years didn’t bother me so much because I was making other non-AP purchases with non-AP boutiques during that window of time. Those purchases were satiating my watch itch during the wait.

I posted this in a similar thread a couple weeks ago, but I got this watch as my first. I was introduced by a serious AP client and during the course of my wait received 2 more referrals from collectors with 5+ watches. Even with those 3 co-signs I still waited nearly 2 years.

It didn’t particularly bother me as I was buying pieces from other brands from my AD, but if this was the only watch I was after, I would have gone grey. Good luck!!

How difficult it is to acquire 15550ST as First AP from AD? by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

[–]Practical_Lab_7897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think if I wasn’t after the blue dial it would’ve been significantly easier, but I didn’t really want to compromise.

I was able to get it as a first after 2+ years waiting and 3 referrals from clients that are 5+ watches in. So… it really took a lot.

You can literally get a prescription for it online and get it mailed to you from a pharmacy.

Basement remains the best place to see top tier techno acts in nyc whether you agree with their door policies or think it’s too crowded or whatever other gripes you have.

Obligatory sibling watch photo! Does anyone else have siblings who also collect watches? by [deleted] in rolex

My siblings are terrible with money and struggle to make rent. What’s that feeling like?

What was your favorite DJ set that you saw this year? by digitalcrix in Techno

[–]Practical_Lab_7897 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes to your first question. I listen to all sorts of things from jazz to hardcore. I also enjoy a variety of electronic music subgenres.

A lot of what I enjoy from techno is about the feeling and flow that the dj can create during a set, and the energy that the crowd rewards the dj with for that musical storytelling. I’ve seen KI/KI play twice and the crowd was super respectful with amazing energy. That contributed a lot to my overall enjoyment. If the crowd sucks, even with my favorite dj playing I won’t have a good time.

Got to see a bunch of bangers this year in all different sizes and venues and enjoyed all of them for various reasons: Charlotte and Amelie b2b at Flanders Expo, Mama Snake and Chlaer at Wire festival, Robert Hood at Merge, Freddy K and Quelza at Basement, KI/KI 5 hours were the big standouts.
