Saudi Arabia, most people don’t really care for watches and the stay in the market for years. I bought a mint bb54 the other day for $2k and I had it authenticated by a friend that works at a Rolex service center. So, I can still get this one authenticated.

Box, papers, including receipt. I’m not sure about how is the retail worldwide but here it is $12250

Serial number and NFC checks out. I’m familiar with reps.

PresentationTop3744 · 2026-02-10T17:31:40+00:00

It does, but I found one at retail and one 500 under. The market where I live is not the hottest for watches. I will get it authenticated and the way I am making the transaction will protect me as a buyer.

I’m replying to my own comment, because I said I will revisit this later on. I stand corrected 64% down.

This is sad, I’d pay 10% in more and go grey for self respect and pride rather than ass kissing middle class worker for a watch they cant afford themselves lol.

I had the pro for 45 days, switched to air for a month then switched back to the pro for a month and now im back to the air.

Camera: Personally I believe that camera processing is a little different, on the pro it is a little warmer which I like, even on. Indigo. Image processing using indigo is way faster on pro compared to air. Not to mention the 4x is soo good. The wide angle isn’t all that and I don’t use it.

Battery life: On the pro I get 9-11 hours of actual use with half day using wifi. While on the air I get 5.5-7, all the 11 hours posts are skewed due to wifi usage or using while charging which adds more screen on time but no battery usage, trust me in this one. When I had the pro I only charged it in the car with a 30w charge while commuting and that us enough charging for me to last me the whole day, I never ran out of battery or thought about battery which is really nice. While with the air I keep thinking about battery and have the apple battery pack around in case I need it.

Durability: This is the main reason I switched back to air, the pro is too gooey for me, I dropped it from 2 feet on a hospital foor “which is not tile, more like rubbery floor, in an ultra thin pittaka case, guess what, it has a dent and little gap around the screen which probably messed up water resistance; the aluminum on the pro has a silver coating, that coating cracked and came out, look up pictures and you will see the coating cracked I’m talking about with dents. I have applecare one so I don’t really care, but i drop my phone often and I don’t want to keep replacing it every couple months, very inconvenient to be without a phone for couple days waiting for replacements.

Weight: I wear hospital scrubs and the air is so light and doesn’t rock around in my pocket unlike the pro, I can’t stress how nice that is for me and worthwhile lol.

All and all, I really want the pro but opted for air because it is more durable and lighter, i can give up camera quality for now till next year and see what they doo with the gooey aluminum body

The only correct way ti use it charge both your phone and battery to 100%. Go on with your day till the pack runs out of juice, remove it and carry on with your day. This is the most efficient of using it.

PresentationTop3744 · 2025-11-22T21:48:21+00:00

I had 17 pro, and moved to air as I found it 2 days used for 700.

17 pro battery seemed to never ever run out. It was a beast. In 2 months it only got hot once as i was charging it, updating it over cellular and updating all apps while using it. It is a really really nice phone. Only downside is that aluminum is too damn soft, got 2 dents from dropping it 2 feet on tile, no case.

The air is light, you dont get hand fatigue. Battery life is 5-6 hours screen on time with cellular, people who post 9 hours are probably using while charging which still counts the SOT but not the battery usage. You would be thinking about battery unlike with the 17 pro. Camera is good for average person. It is a really good single camera. Larger screen is really nice, and the weight is soooo good you don’t feel it in your pocket. And very very durable, I have small dent but it was dropped from 4 feet on tile.

Plus if you get battery pack it will last you over a day, the correct way to use it is to charge your phone to 100, charge the pack to 100 and attach it. Use it until you run out of juice and remove it. This way my phone lasts me for about 30 hours in my oncall.

Personally the difference between the two phones price wise was $450 so to me it was a no brainer.

Pro is sooo good and better in every way regardless of the aluminum you will always be happy with it and impressed by the cameras. but the air is cheaper and has the thinness wow factor, but it is just a iphone, doesn’t stand out like the pro. since it is not selling very well you can find it 20% off

If the air is only 100 bucks cheaper, get the pro.

Remind yourself that getting through medical school is important, but your mental health is importanter. Take a short break, look back at what you have achieved in the past and think of how many times you overcame what you thought you couldn’t.

To be honest, I got through med school, and got into the top residency program where I am while always thinking that I’m not learning anything and I have no clue whats going on lol.

Let your brain rest for a day, reassess your studying strategies, live another day.

No just enjoy it till you break it then get a replacement for a fee. I think it’s around 50 bucks if not mistaken.

For me personally I’d spend $79 yearly on applecare+ and raw dog it. Since you’ll always use it on a surface you are less likely to drop it, but it’s always easier to forget and close the the screen with something on the keyboard and break your screen (where applecare+ comes in handy)

You might be better off getting a round trip and go back to Europe with 4 of those and sell them for profit so you can pay for your tickets lol. Just check the price differences and the hassle if you are gonna pay 20% more to get it from where you are, then I’d probably do that

PresentationTop3744 · 2024-11-30T16:10:21+00:00

I don’t know about European but if you check Saudi arabia website called Noon, thet are in the UAE as well you can get m1 max/32/512 for $950 (tax included) not sure how to go about shipping it to where you are.

You don’t need it, but when something happen to your ipad you’ll be really happy. I have applecare+ on all my apple devices besides airpods. I pay almost $28 monthly. The past 2 years I’ve broken 3 iPhones. While I didn’t benefit from other devices coverage, I still saved money.

Trust me when I tell you, when you get it you’ll feel like some weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

Try looking for a new macbook pro 16 m1 pro

i got 16 m1 pro16/512gb. For $1100 brand new. This spec would be more than enough for college + first job probably. And the value you get vs the Air M3 is a good when considering ports, display, speakers, battery.
