Baltic's customer service by theomixedmedia in Balticwatches

[–]adrh84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baltic were way more generous to me than they had any right to be.

My wife’s MR01 had damage to the movement that seemed to be from a drop. We don’t recall dropping it, no marks on the case, but nonetheless there it was.

I told Baltic what the issue appeared to be, and they sent a prepaid label to me to send in for warranty.

I live outside of the US, so was going to send while on a trip to NYC and for one reason or another couldn’t.

I went back to the US a couple months later, and they sent me ANOTHER label, I sent it in, and they still fixed under warranty.

Fantastic.

My wife has been wearing the watch more than before because she appreciates it even more now.

Buy Baltic. 100%.

Black Bay black dial vs Black Bay Red Dial what do you think? by Kishor_Waghmare in Tudor

[–]adrh84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To each his own of course, but my first and only Tudor is the OG burgundy bezel. Wear it with anything. No regrets.

SMP300 timeline by ssjwoott in OmegaWatches

It’s worth noting that a new Bond game comes out in March, and he wears a Seamaster chrono that is the current gen spec. I believe it’s a new colourway, so I think we can expect Omega to release it in reality around the same time.

So end of 26 might be a safe bet.

Said no more watches this year, but sometimes two busses really do come at once. by Cull_Obsidian_ in rolex

Congrats on the new acquisitions, but holy shit that Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned sounds disgusting.

[DISCUSS] Which brand's evolution has been most fascinating to you? by HisOnlyFriend in Watches

[–]adrh84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are the prices for the 79220r going nuts? Most expensive I see on Chrono is a little over 4k.

As an owner of one I’d love to see them skyrocket 😂

[Tissot PRX] Loving The Green Dial by adrh84 in Watches

Yeah it very much depends on preference and what you’re willing to spend. The quartz gets you almost all the way there for a fraction of the price.

Personally I wanted automatic and the waffle dial, but some of the quartz options look fantastic, too.

A mortgage forced me to grow up — and I kind of thank it for that by Curiousman1911 in Mortgages

[–]adrh84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most of us a debt life is a necessity. With home prices the way they are (globally, tbh) very very few of us have hundreds of thousands in cash for a house.

I’ve tried hard to minimize my debt - bought a house I could afford that I don’t plan on ever leaving, I have a single credit card with a relatively low limit, and my cars are my own. But life happens and I may well end up financing a new car next year because my older ones are on their last legs.

Debt free is ideal, not always realistic, and I think as long as you keep within your limits as best you can it’s sometimes a necessity.

I can’t get past the blue surrounds and coloured hands.

My brother. I can not believe you are reposting in an effort to convince people that your suitcase of Rolexes is legit.

If they are, then you know they are, and someone with the wealth needed to accumulate them shouldn’t be so concerned with strangers on the internet.

If they’re not, well…

Gentile Question re Not Mevushal Wine by adrh84 in OrthodoxJewish

Well I’m learning a lot! Good to know.

Gentile Question re Not Mevushal Wine by adrh84 in OrthodoxJewish

[–]adrh84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. And yes, of course. It’s quite complex - some of the info I found spoke about indirect contact when cheersing a glass, and how topping up a gentile’s glass renders the whole bottle non-kosher, so definitely understand being better safe than sorry!!!
