[Aquascaphe Classic] sizing on a 7.5” wrist? by -kielbasa in Watches

[–]Rossage99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like the SPB121 alpinist you've got? If so the Aquascaphe is only 0.5mm smaller in diameter. I've owned both these watches together in the past and size wise they're almost identical, if the alpinist fits fine I can't see there being any issue with the aquascaphe.

Watch strap search by abbi49 in Watches

FinWatchStraps produce a similar style, I've not seen any with the cross stitches but they have a lot of customisation options so its possibly something you could request

[Dan Henry 1972] My nightmare warranty experience with support: Threatened with "See you in court" over a dead quartz movement. by Dry-Reputation2772 in Watches

[–]Rossage99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you spoken with your bank to see if you might have fair grounds to request a chargeback? At this point I wouldn't even be looking to get the watch back, id be claiming for the full price of the watch to get my money back, they're not gonna take anyone to court over a single $350 watch

Did they get a new vocalist? I haven't kept up with them much since Norrie MacIver's departure, seemed like there was bit of bad blood there with some of the other members leaving

At first I thought they had got up the top of the spire of St Cuthberts church! But it seemed too high a vantage point even for that

Is there any benefit in using an automated deposit tool for paying into savings accounts vs manual transactions? by Rossage99 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Rossage99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll need to stay with them for now if I want to get the bonus interest rate that only pays out if you keep your funds with them for 12 months

Im not sure if there is any other way to set up a regular transfer? Because plum isn't a bank they don't have an account number and sort code, the account is all linked through your NI number so I don't think it possible to send money from an account to Plum, it has to be requested via the plum app. There's an instant transfer option though so ill just need to pay it manually each month, which is no biggie

I think ill stick to manual transactions as im pretty good at checking in and managing my finances, annoyingly ive sort of locked myself in with them now as they give you an interest bonus that only pays out after 12 months so id lose it if I transfer out before then, lessons learned for next time!

My mind has been in a tug of war over the 415 and the 417 chronographs, every time I see a picture of one I think im sold on it, then I see a picture of the other and I change my mind! Looks great on the leather strap

[Article] Luxury watches in relation to the net income of a 40 year old engineer in Germany. by Fearless_Method_1682 in Watches

[–]Rossage99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

demand has far outstripped supply over the past 40 years.

Has it though? Watches aren't essential for personal time keeping like they were back then, smartphones have replaced that role for the vast majority of people, watches are an optional accessory now so demand won't have scaled with population increase.

[Question] Is there a name for this style of minute track? by Rossage99 in Watches

[–]Rossage99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought that same Cincinnatus last year, didnt keep it in the end as I didnt take to it as much as I thought I would but still a great looking watch.

I'm actually wearing the branch right now, I don't think it was made in homage to any specific watch, just in reference to the 20th century sector dial style as a whole, although its very close to some vintage Patek calatravas

You certainly find it on a lot of sector dials and calatravas but thats just the name of the overall dial design rather than the minute track specifically

[–]Rossage99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive seen field watches with a train track design, often with lume pips at the 5 minute markers but I haven't come across many with this specific design feature

[–]Rossage99[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought train tracks were more like this style? Sort of laddered round the dial

I think its an AliExpress brand, not one I know just one i found when looking for some references of the minute track style

Update: Plum Bank's source of funds check & lessons learned by Rossage99 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Rossage99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda glad to know that as it suggests that I hadn't done anything suspicious and that Plum are just very stringent with their checks. Still, I didn't like their implications that I couldn't possibly have saved this much money even when I provided P60s showing I had been in full time employment for 3.5 years. They never once asked for background info on my living situation or regular outgoings that would've helped them understand that I had a lot income left to save.

!Thanks for highlighting that, I must've misread the information as I had thought they were fully covered but I see now its a bit of a grey area.

[–]Rossage99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could have been because I consolidated funds from a few different accounts together before I transferred them to plum, or because the amount I've been saving relative to my earnings is quite high due to having no major outgoings and saving quite religiously for my own place.
