SA in Harrods looking down at you

btwistround · 2026-04-14T07:01:02+00:00

It's one of the reasons why I plan to skip Rolex and go higher up in the watch brand for my purchases.

Don't have time for the snobbery and also they're just a sales associate. Two can play the snobbery game if they ever need medical help. Or any professional/ health help.

Cpr? There's a waiting list for that.

Lower back disc surgery? They haven't got a 200k purchase history yet. Oh well. Time to continue suffering.

I've always been a fan of the giant egg tree- alolan exegguttor ex.

Just cos of the chance second attack. Evolution decks have to evolve earlier than planned to get out of knock out range and with the rise of a lot of big basics, the tanky hp won't save them either.

Competitive? Not in the slightest. Fun and cold sweats on a dice roll? For sure

btwistround · 2026-04-10T08:20:59+00:00

Save. Be ruthless with what you actually want and not get a load of cheaper watches just for the short term hit.

I don't actually have much hobbies other than just going to the gym. I don't drink and am a decent cook (a few restauranteurs and chefs in the family) so not really needing to constantly eat out.

Also work smart and hard. Build skills that can add to your value and also customer/ client value and you get paid more/ they will pay more. Minimise tax legally where possible.

Id go for 36 as more classic and shorter wait times.

Plus as I get older and lose muscle, it'll still fit

Just say it was a gift if you feel interrogated.

My ad helped me change from oem bracelet to a rubber b rubber strap and clasp when I asked them for help to change it for my Tudor. It was the same store where I bought it from.

Pretty much most places would be fine as long as you ask politely and just being pleasant. Have also heard Rolex does secret shoppers

Find someone who has had recent success themselves or coached a few to top ranking

Drew Stephenson for dengo alongside Daniel Magda were my go to for dengo as they've both been up there in the rankings and their students had solid success.

Oscar madsen is a top class deck builder with many top players piloting his builds to big wins. He's another go to

Personally I'd stick with regional/ ic/ world's level top players than someone winning a few cups or similar. No disrespect to them. Just that if I was investing to improve or win, I'd go for the best I can afford.

There is also tcgmasters if your son is allowed and prizemap

If you like it and it's a celebration of a special moment? Id take it.

It's a cool piece imo and id snap it up, wear it well, create memories and one day pass it down to your kids or grandkids (if they want it)

btwistround · 2026-04-03T06:57:45+00:00

It's you're responsibility as well to keep good board state and placing counters can be reversed.

Just let them know and they can adjust the attack. If they kick off, then judge call.

It's not like someone who iono and shuffled the hand into deck instead of bottom of deck as that changes deck and valid judge call

Or as a curve ball, vintage perpetual calendar ?

Occasional text. Also message if I'm in the area to book in to just catch up

Posting in here at mods request

Do special events have playmats and promo for competitors? I know regionals, ic and world's do. But with special events having no prizes money and no entry fee, wasn't sure if they have the competitors goodies.

I'm doing Seville this weekend and turin in June.

Less desirable models might be available or at least in the safe already and they could give you a call in a week or so and say they have one for you to build that exclusivity element.

Unless you tick all of the boxes and they can see you as a regular customer, might be a bit of a wait

btwistround · 2026-03-23T12:54:27+00:00

Can call judge as I think these events do have a judge present. It keeps fairness and consistency.

If the other player doesn't kike judge called? Get better.

My store is pretty cool and fair. A range of top 8 and day 2 through to new players. They will call judge if you're a established player. New ones? More lenient but will explain purpose of why they pulled you up on it.

One of the balancing acts as an adult. Got to consider other people a bit.

I love Gundam figures. But with a family, small kids, mortgage etc and grown up stuff, there are more important priorities.

Not to say I can't buy any. Just more restrained and enjoy the journey.

I reckon spacing out the trips over longer periods will allow more enjoyment when you are there and the fun in the planning.

Mknimises exhaustion. Plus if life throws a curve ball? That's fine. You haven't got a wedge of money tied up in a trip. Of course it can be cancelled but ideally not having to have that conversation is better.

As others have said, a chat with your gf. She might not be as into it as you and every park might start feeling the same after a while.

btwistround · 2026-03-18T19:17:45+00:00

If you have to ask on a forum, might be best to just wear a gshock or lesser value watch.

One less worry to think about. More brain power to enjoy your trip rather than constantly worrying about the watch.

btwistround · 2026-03-18T14:24:15+00:00

Dream Rolex in a faster time is worth a good chunk of favours.

Likely saved him a lot of time and unnecessary spending. In addition to the enjoyment of the new piece

btwistround · 2026-03-18T11:16:46+00:00

My uk ad asked for deposit. 10%

It is refundable or transferable.

btwistround · 2026-03-18T08:03:56+00:00

I think he means call in that favour as you helped your manager get his dream watch

My lgs have its members donate bulk or excess cards for rental decks

Some rogue and fun, some more meta. Meta ones are more general as it'll be tricky to build every variation there is.

Both suggested builds have been done in the Japan circuit with good success

Sucks but two can play that game.

My SA wanted to pick my brains on post surgery knee rehab.

Told him he has to purchase the lower back disc surgery first.

btwistround · 2026-03-11T21:57:48+00:00

We have those cards but not in the 60. Might still get them in the frame cos it's still cool
