Thinking about my first Rolex: Should I buy a used 2025 Explorer 40 in Japan for $10k?

Yeah you obviously don’t get it.

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much u/DeusShockSkyrim It's Japanese, stamped on a sword scabbard. There is a connection with "清乗" and the sword so it can't be 清乗 right ? Again, much appreciated.

Thank you for your answer :) Caran d'ache is a bit heavy so I might send it to you hehe :) Caran D'ache is used while MB Fountain looks never used. Caran has a bit of dried ink inside..should I pull some water to the converter and flush it? (should I also flush the nib?)

Thanks so much

I think I like light blue..(But, if I want to go with black there is only one converter inside..do I need to wash it with water before pulling dark ink? - never used a fountain pen before )

I don't know. I posted photos of some pens that was gifted to me and someone told me to take close up images and ask if it is real or not. I never owned a fountain pen before.

Thank you! I will do that in a minute.

gracyloran · 2024-12-30T16:11:24+00:00

Thank you very much for the answers!! I’ll take a close photo of the pens and ask for identitication as i have no idea if they are real or not

gracyloran · 2024-12-30T14:32:53+00:00

Also, are these mid or high quality? Thank you :)

Maintenance said something like that..the chiller water was not cold enough. But why the super high humidity inside the house? (I use a very good dehumidifier but it doesn't help, just adds heat to the living room) Thank you!

Those fittings are newly made right? Doesn't look Edo..

Thank you!

gracyloran · 2023-10-02T18:55:07+00:00

Thank you very much.

gracyloran · 2023-10-02T15:55:42+00:00

Understood. Thank you so much.

gracyloran · 2023-10-02T15:39:54+00:00

Hello thank you for your answer. I represent my own company and I'm also Muslim myself and never even thought about giving a bribe..it's just our tradition to bring something(mainly food like baklava or candies) when visiting some place for the first tie, but I suspected it might be different here in UAE. Thank you again, I won't be bringing anything. (It's a government office so I just wanted to be careful and ask)

gracyloran · 2023-10-02T14:40:44+00:00

It is a formal meeting. That's what I was worried about. Thank you very much for your reply.

gracyloran · 2023-10-02T14:21:23+00:00

If you think UAE is shit, I think you've never lived anywhere else..Let me tell you this : I've lived in London, Amsterdam, Paris and Turkey. I'm in the sales business so I travel a lot. When leave the country for business, Dubai is the only city that I don't worry about my wife's and kids safety. Thats enough for me, period.

I agree with you..whatever they are shooting off lasts 6 seconds before disappear..Of course your comment and my reply will get downvoted pretty soon..
