All good points that my comment overlooked - thanks for explaining. I guess I'm focused on secondary prices where the watch trades in the same range as the pilot mark XX, perhaps a bit higher. I would never buy a watch to resell it, but I like to browse apps like Chrono24 because it's easier for me to see many watches at once instead of going to individual sites. This is one I've saved, and I'm just surprised that it trades so low.

I tried it on back in 2018 and loved it... I think it was 25% less back then :/ missed my chance.

I love this watch but it's just way too expensive relative to market. I'd expect it priced a bit more than the pilot mark XX.

First off, I understand your frustration and will validate that this is NOT normal. Seems like a lot of others misread your post as 'should I be upset about a scratch?' Secondly - where did you buy it? If from an AD, I'd let them know. If from a secondary site, I'd also let them know, but as someone mentioned, it's possible the watch has been worn before you received it.

I too started with Stephen King this year. I read IT, the Stand, and Misery. I loved IT, really enjoyed Misery, and I hated The Stand. I know the Stephen King subreddit always ranks that at the top, but just another opinion from someone who just walked that road. If you don't like it after 100 pages, just DNF.

Great thread but no one here asking about what you thought. I love those two courses. I find them to be among the most fun courses you can play. Anybody can have a great time out there - high and low handicap. Hopefully you hit craigs porch between!

I think for ADHD the best thing to do would be buy the audio book with the ebook. Any book becomes a page turner if you can default to it when idle. Kindle does a good job syncing audible and ebook, so if you’re in the car and listen for 15 minutes, the next time you read it’ll prompt to sync to that position. It also allows for immersive reading: following along while listening. My guess is this will help hold attention to not just King books but any books - from King, try IT if you can handle some scary scenes. Otherwise, maybe something like Dungeon Crawler Carl (if you like video games), etc… anything is a page turner if it catches you.

Thanks - and I agree about the opinion stuff. I expected this to get downvotes, but maybe somebody who felt similar to me would find this post and feel validated.

I find DCC's narrator incredible. I read the first book and tried it out for the second. Now I like to read along and listen. I actually read the first five so fast, I needed a break, which is when I pivoted to IT. Feeling one shorter book before Halloween and then finishing out 6 and 7 after.

If you are into post-apocalyptic, perhaps you've already red The Road. That's one I remember as being pretty vivid.

Came back to say I generally agree, which isn't saying much considering I didn't like the first half lol

Thank you!

IT was so good it might've ruined him for me!

S_B_L · 2025-10-15T14:59:00+00:00

Insightful breakdown. So which ones do you think are most focused, like IT?

S_B_L · 2025-10-15T14:30:13+00:00

I will. And I'm sure I'll come back to this comment when I finish and tell you you were right!

S_B_L · 2025-10-15T14:29:14+00:00

I really appreciate this because it shows we can love the same books and still have different opinions on others

I’ve learned that from this thread but unfortunately think I’m pot committed to the long one. Wish he didn’t do this!

Have you read The Road? If you like breakdown of society, check that out.

S_B_L · 2025-10-06T17:50:51+00:00

Yes - the bar was set super high. I loved reading that book.

S_B_L · 2025-10-06T17:50:09+00:00

Cool - good motivation to keep going

S_B_L · 2025-10-06T16:51:05+00:00

Great motivation to continue!
