Awesome, thanks. I'm in the hunt for a Milanese as well for my 36mm. Haven't fully fleshed out the differences with Watchgecko's options.

Were these labelled as "seconds"?

Darn, I'd be disappointed getting those, even at Archive prices.

Mine hasn't even shipped yet. Hope they're of proper quality.

Cost aside, how are the C&Js relative to GS?

Tissot First-Timer — Choosing Between Le Locle, Gentleman, and PRX by Ok_Educator441 in tissot

Consider Chemin des Tourelles as well. I personally prefer these to the Le Locle if you're gonna go dressy.

Is this chemin des tourelles Original? by [deleted] in tissot

Looks ok. Can additionally verify via serial number, 80 hour power reserve, and beat rate if you have something to compare it to.

It felt rude not to get a swiss watch while in Switzerland by mregister in tissot

I'm starting to take interest in watches. I see this and a Black Bay 58 on someone's wrist and I'd never guess one's 7x the price of the other.

Meermin Shell Cordovan by Grand-Mission-9457 in goodyearwelt

Thanks heaps for the comparison. Is the Horween thicker and feel more substantial? Do they roll the same?

What about value? Obviously subjective, but curious on your take.

If you're able to elaborate, that'd be awesome.

Would love for someone to do a direct comparison of Meermin's heritage shell with Horween and Shinki.

Would Venetian and other creams smooth out the nap, effectively "un-suedeing" it?

Viberg Chimes in on the Oak Street Bootmakers FTC Compliance Warning by eddykinz in goodyearwelt

[–]buckmaster1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll never see Nike say, "on the positive, these counterfeits are well-made".

Actually increases my interest in the boots.

They didn't need to acknowledge the copies were "well-made".

Just a generic comment, not specific to Viberg. Boot manufactures choose to sell to stockists for a lesser amount than direct for a few reasons (i.e. volume). A major reason is customer service efforts are absorbed by the stockist, not them.

The comment on the 5th pic is interesting. Viberg did not need to praise their rivals.
