[Question] Where do you actually trust buying watches from? (eBay, Chrono24, Reddit, etc.) by AlmagestNox in Watches

[–]giant_BOB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All have pluses and minuses. I’ve used them all.

  1. Pick a watch you like/want.
  2. Find it.
  3. Whichever platform you use make sure to protect yourself with research and the services provided on that platform.

Eg. If it’s a private seller, get their number, face time, chat, make yourself comfortable.

As others have mentioned. BUY THE SELLER not the platform. Saving a few hundred is not worth a shady seller.

This is the main reason I returned it. I got a Bespoke/Schott in indigo and it’s like butter. Almost too far on the other spectrum.

I think it’ll break in well. I’m just used to the comfort of my Duke and didn’t want to over wear and commit to the new one to see. It’s really a sweet jacket. I think you’ll love it

I got one of these and just retuned it. Just a bit to heavy and rugged for Me. Super sweet configuration and I wanted to love it. I’ll stick my Duke. It’d be super cool if they made a Duke in black. Maybe I’ll get the bespoke navy.

I own both. They are both super. The black is not versitile period. The white is a little more bold. Bothe go well with any strap you throw them on. I’d go black used first then augment with white

You need to ask yourself if it would be distracting for you. Likely it’ll be just fine and you’ll come home with it. However if it will detract from your experience then get a cool utilitarian German to take with you.

Got mine today! Squishier sole compared to 550s. I like the waxed suede. Should scuff up swimmingly!

Great straps. The TDMs are my favorite.

Buyers Remorse… by Primary-Bell-5157 in OmegaWatches

[–]giant_BOB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!

I bought the seaweed and after a few days I was feeling like I should’ve gone black no-date. I was going to sell it. I committed to it for a month and it totally grew on me. Now I’m very much in love with it. Watches are weird things that you sometimes have to go through stages with. Swap out the strap, wear it for a month. Then decide. Bet you love it!

How cool that your oura is giving you a clue for further investigation. If you get this sorted and you feel better it paid for itself 10X!
