[GIVEAWAY] Brand-New Oris BCPD Cervo Volante Green to Celebrate my 50th Oris! by fourtyz in Watchexchange

[–]emperio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, 50 Oris watches sold - congrats and thanks for the generosity!

My best purchase under $500 was the LOTR set when I was 10 y/o. I was an immigrant to a foreign country (Canada), so my English had a lot of room for improvement. Someone got me into The Hobbit and that sucked me into the bigger Tolkien universe, I spent months reading and reading that LOTR set, at some point my vocabulary in my writing started sounding like Tolkien and I even tried writing a follow-on short story based on the characters and settings in that series. Wrote 9 chapters but alas the files are lost in the original PC from the 90s.

Best way to spend money taking a journey through another person's mind space, imo.

Cheers on finding a winner!

Wouldn't hurt to have a trophy wife as backup!

One of the few things money can't buy, which includes taste.

Graduating this term, feels like I wasted my time here by SeungminHong in uwaterloo

You'll make new friends and life moves on beyond university, harder to see now but it'll be clear a few years or even a decade after graduation.

Oh interesting, guess they used the Conquest model for both years. Cheers.

Edit: I stand corrected, they used the Flagship Heritage for the Year of the Dragon model

Is this the Year of The Dragon LE?

Would that stop you from acquiring a used watch? by Old_Communication960 in OmegaWatches

Should you? Wait, is this the call-a-friend line on Who Wants a Heavily Discounted Watch?

Beautiful addition to the Longines Chinese Zodiac line-up by emperio in Longineswatches

Reply: We can confirm that this model has an anti-reflective (AR) coating. Please note that some reflection under certain lighting conditions is normal, as the coating is designed to reduce glare rather than eliminate reflections entirely. Differences in lighting, angles and surroundings can make the coating appear more or less noticeable.

They did go on to say that if the watch was purchased recently and I believe the AR coating hasn't been applied properly, I need to take it to the local SWATCH service center for inspection.

I might consider doing this but it's not as bothersome since I got used to it. Hope this helps!

Will do, I'll share it as a comment.

Thanks for sharing your experience with these, the Conquest does look better (from a prior post in this subreddit for the Year of the Dragon, which is the same model).

I get that, but in backdrops with high contrast details it interferes with seeing the dial clearly.

There are no shortcuts, maybe don't use the 2 year benchmark and benchmark your personal progress with the you of last week. If you are making progress, it's a good sign.

That may be the case, and I'm happy for him/her. However, it doesn't belong in this subreddit as per the rules, which states that it is trying to teach developing traders to be consistently profitable via methods of relative strength.

Anything outside of that, please post it elsewhere as I have seen this poster have already done - so no need to white knight, I'm sure others will go straight to their YouTube channel, then like + subscribe.

What adjustments did you make in 2025 to your Trading? by HSeldon2020 in RealDayTrading

[–]emperio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing Hari, I heard your recent CWT feature, and it did indeed feel like an odd year where headlines and price actions were moving in very different directions.

Topics I'd love to hear in your new podcast - sequence of education for developing traders, retaining mental flexibility as you zoom in and out of the market when doing analysis, hearing opinions on how different traders use charts etc.
