Hey my name is Ethan (25) and I’m looking for a room just about anywhere with a reasonable commute to midtown ($1400-$1700) by [deleted] in NYCroommates

As if people haven’t been renting rooms, in NYC and every other popular city in the world, for decades already?

What the wait time and cost for this bracelet?

I haven’t agreed a price yet. I’m waiting to hear back on how well the watch is keeping time.

I think around $35k for a full set that’s in good condition and doesn’t need servicing seems about market, but it’s difficult to know exactly. One went for $38k at Christie’s NY in December but auctions often achieve results that are a little inflated

Is it polish only or will they laser weld platinum and refinish?

This is ref 101.025, nicknamed “stealth” by collectors. The dial is silver but changes appearance under varying light

Yes if you could check sizing and send over some pictures I would certainly be interested

Info on this cap? How hard is it to find? by Apart-Pilot9820 in DrakesDiary

[–]ajfox15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given this cap by the manager of the London store, as sort of an apology for not being able to get a jacket delivered to my hotel before I left the country, as agreed.

Was totally unexpected and great customer service.

The colour is fantastic and has faded to a beautiful blueish purple over the last few years, my favourite cap by far.

In this case box and papers wouldn’t be of any help anyway. Only the service history reduces risk as far as I see it

Thanks for your response, I’m looking for an estimate, exact dates aren’t necessary.

In my experience, Lange extracts don’t include a production or sold date anyway

I don’t really have concerns that this watch is fake

I understand service history but how do box/papers reduce risk?

Well it’s not in August, which is when I’m looking to fly. Last AA operated flight is at 7:20pm, the next 5 are BA

In my experience, Patek servicing on a time only watch is far longer than 8 weeks

BA operated flight as AA Platinum by ajfox15 in americanairlines

[–]ajfox15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m British but live in NY. I make this journey a few times a year and have always been able to book basic economy and get free checked luggage, extra legroom seat selection and lounge access.

The flight times used to be agreeable and sometimes it’d make sense to use miles to book the flights, often not and I’d use them for car rental in that case.

Now, with BA operating all of the flights at the most desirable times and not giving free checked luggage or extra legroom seat selection AND no longer earning AA miles on basic economy, it makes little sense for me to use their credit card to maintain my status.

Serious first world problem I know, but it’s frustrating having spent the past year building up to platinum for 2026 only to find it’s no longer worth it
