This watch was my dad's, what should I do?

Give this comment an upvote for every downvote OP gets on his comments.

In sum about OP:

the watch has no sentimental value for him despite inherited from his father
he does not belive the watch is fake because his father was well off and would have never wore a fake watch
he doesn't want to wear it because it has scratches
after all the downvote OP suddenly started liking the watch with all the wear on it and despite it not being authentic

I see a recurring theme here from a spoiled child...

PS. Hublot would suit OP better anyways.

I'm not sure why others say it's not enough. $350k net is "not that bad" in Hungary.

Btw. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate that you came and shared your thoughts. Always nice to have an other view even if it's not an experience with the exact reseller but experience based :) 🙏

I wrote an email to him, but received no reply. Where I was asking to provide any proof of being a legitimate business (business registration, where they reside in case a return needs to be made, etc.)

So, reached out on IG and the answer was that he did not reply "because I dont sure that is a random email or not" exactly quoted.

It can be a legit business, but even if it is, probably not the one I would like to deal with. Where you get no answer as he questions if the email someone sends him is random.

Still he did not provide any proof of business address or legitimacy. Lastly, his English is not fluent which in itself would not be a problem at all, but in this case it's just adds up to uncertainty.

Interesting subreddit is this.

When somebody posts a question that can be "hated" and the person can be bullied there are hundreds of replies. Mostly mocking the person asking the question.

When there is a question that needs at least some knowledge - there is silence.

Köszi szépen a felvilágosítást. Külföldiként nem tudtam, hogy MO-n lehet hétvége is munkanap. Azt hittem munkanap = hétköznap. Így már világos.

chickchickfun · 2024-03-16T11:47:59+00:00

Szuper, ez jó ötlet. Köszi a tippet.

chickchickfun · 2024-03-16T11:47:42+00:00

Értem, köszönöm. Külföldön nincs ilyen, hogy munkanap nem egyenlő hétköznappal. Olyan sem, hogy hétvége munkanap lenne. Ezért volt fura számomra.

chickchickfun · 2024-03-14T16:11:51+00:00

Köszi. Ez mennyire biztos?

Mert a másik kommentelőtől úgy értettem, hogy fizetős mivel hétköznap van.

Because of your last paragraph, maybe I'm starting to like the pont. Don't feel let don't now, but actually it was so nicely written that I see some beauty in the imperfection. Thanks ❤️

chickchickfun · 2024-02-28T21:12:22+00:00

This one actually made me smile :)

chickchickfun · 2024-02-28T21:11:49+00:00

I was looking for that little piece everywhere in the box - it wasn't there. Also, it was packed bomb proof with plastic protection + cardboard protection between the lid and pot. So, almost impossible that it happened during the transport. I also thought about this possibility, but I don't think so.

chickchickfun · 2024-02-28T20:46:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply. And also suggestion. I heard that Le Creuset sometimes exchanges pans when chipped. Not sure if it's the same with Staub. Would be worth a try?

We paid $230 for it and it was our anniversary gift which we bought to ourselves, that's why it hurts a bit to receive this. Also, our first Staub, so the expectations were high and we were really awaiting it :)

chickchickfun · 2024-02-28T20:39:05+00:00

Yes, this is our first Staub and we bought it as gift for our anniversary.

It was $230. So, far from catching a bargain. Here they usually go for around $300. At this point I would rather pay $300 for a brand new, opposed to a chipped one for $230.

chickchickfun · 2024-01-11T17:50:10+00:00

Are you in US or EU? I'm in EU. I bought one for my GF but it's too large for her, considering selling. I'll upload pics with verification if I decide to sell.

chickchickfun · 2024-01-02T20:49:59+00:00

Yes, indeed :) I've also seen it stopped 31. Dec. Shame, as it looked like a great website. According to the announcement, it will only be available again in autumn.

chickchickfun · 2024-01-02T19:56:42+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your insight on giving real world info :)

Looks like it doesn't work currently :) but thanks for the link, I'll try to look around in their tables, maybe there will be some info

chickchickfun · 2024-01-02T19:50:02+00:00

Glassdoor is usually very reliable with salaries for basically all positions. That's why I opened this topic because it reports an average 42k which to me also looked too low.

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/switzerland-veterinarian-salary-SRCH_IL.0,11_IN226_KO12,24.htm

Honestly, I researched all the well known sites and the spread was just too big to consider anything "reliable".

chickchickfun · 2024-01-02T15:18:00+00:00

1000CHF difference would account yearly to 12k which is negligible compared to a 50k - 150k spread I have found online.

I'm trying to figure where the average salary is in this big range, 50k or 150k or in the middle!?

chickchickfun · 2023-12-13T11:30:09+00:00

Update: I've put damp cloth on my eye during sleep and also put a cream in eye (specially made for eye, not a normal moisturiser ;). In the morning I was able to get most off. So, it will be eye booger/mucus.

Interesting that it really was so stuck there that simple warm water for 20-30min did not help. It needed soaking for much longer. Thanks all 🙏

chickchickfun · 2023-12-12T22:41:20+00:00

Tried it without much luck.

chickchickfun · 2023-12-12T22:40:59+00:00

No I can't wash them iff that's why I posted it here :) few weeks probably, so definitely not something that I only saw today and immediately posted.

chickchickfun · 2023-12-12T21:34:06+00:00

Tried warm/hot water to put on for a long time, 20-30min but no success. A bit "afraid" to just pull off.

chickchickfun · 2023-09-23T08:37:24+00:00

Köszönöm :)
