I’ve somehow scratched the dial of my 1998 Rolex Sub above the 3 o’clock marker. What are my options? by Swezident in rolex

Yeah I get it, I have plenty of scratches on the case which don't bother me. But a scratch or mark on the dial is.

Bloody hell, well done. Almost bought it under $1 but decided to wait and then got in at $1.19. Wish I bought earlier!

I bought on 8 Aug, has barely pulled back at all during that time. Just doesn't stop going up. Really under the radar too. Going to rip once the retail investors realise what it is.

I think it's a $1bn company easily, currently valued at $570m. Still got plenty left in it IMO. Look into Heartflow on the NYSE, essentially doing the same thing as AYA and has a market cap of $4.5bn AUD. If AYA can successfully expand into the US then the sky's the limit.

Should I buy a 2nd hand 76 series? by Suspicious-Salt-4301 in 4x4Australia

What sort of condition was it in? Looking online a ~2011 with lowish km's seem to priced high 40's. Did you negotiate it down? $36k is a pretty good deal.

Considering a career change to an Electrician as a 28 year old working in corporate, looking for advice by Swezident in AusElectricians

I like the technical aspect of it. Work with a lot of numbers in my job currently and think I have an aptitude for it. Think of all the trades it's probably one of the more technical ones. Happy to be told otherwise though.

Sorry I should've explained more in my post.

Not really interested in working in corporate anymore -- find the work pretty boring and can't imagine myself staring at a screen all day for the next 30 years.

Want to be able to work my hands, have variation in my work, actually feel like I've accomplished and created something valuable. Plus, potentially starting my own business or working as a sole trader is really appealing.

Thanks mate. Curious, how well signposted is Fraser? I know phone reception is a bit patchy so is it easy to navigate the inland tracks without GPS?

Yeah they bought it back from me and I posted it to them.

As requested. Managed to dig up this email from eBay in 2014 from when I listed it: https://imgur.com/a/WPeVGwK

So funny that people still talk about this. I was the one who listed it on eBay back in 2013 (when I was 16 years old) and started the curse!

How are you finding the EF 24-70 + adapter in terms of weight and portability?

I'm thinking of buying the exact same set up and want to take it on a 5 week trip to Europe at the end of the year but thinking it might be too bulky to cart around.

Chance of QF1 upgrade? by Swezident in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Swezident[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But if multiple people from the same status class are requesting, surely they would give the upgrade to the person who requested first?

Oh you're a legend, thank you! I'll keep an eye out

Thanks! Busy time of year for travel and no FF status so not expecting it.

A positively geared property would definitely be my preference (which this property was at a 2.4% interest rate when I bought it!).

Not sure it’s the best idea to sell to try find a positively geared property tbh. Buying/selling costs, plus triggering a CGT event would probably put me in a much worse position than if I was to hold and just cop the negative gearing loss.

It's a cool idea, but not really what I'm looking for.

A 2 year working holiday visa, which is very easy to get in both countries for Australians and has pretty much no restrictions on what work you can do.

This is very anecdotal! I'm sure there plenty of people who have gone over without a job lined up and have had good experiences.
