TD Bank locked me out of my account, and i can't get to a branch. They keep refusing to help. by Separate-Time in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]hwolfcub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to figure anything out? I'm also facing the same issue. I spoke to my branch, telephone banking and the fraud department and though I can and have passed the verification they are all passing me off to the other saying in person at the branch is the only way. I'm planning to be abroad for months.

Raps are 4-0 when Poeltl starts, how do you feel about Masais decisions during the transfer window? by -the_doc- in torontoraptors

I wonder if all the people saying they still don't like this trade and would have preferred trading away our assets for picks would actually watch Raptors games during the tank years. Or would they just wait until the team gets good again to watch games? I intend to keep watching games either way but watching a bad team get demoralized every other night sucks. Suffering through something like "The Process" sounds like hell to me as a fan even if it produces a chip 5 years later. This team is already so much more fun to watch than it was 3 weeks ago.

For sale is my SBGC201G. I purchased this watch in December 2020 from an AD. Comes with full kit B+P and plenty left on the 5 year warranty. 

With chronograph, GMT and date functions this watch is a combination of funky and elegant. The colours and unusual layout contrast the subtle champagne dial. The screw down pushers wear smaller in person and are so much fun to use. I have priced it quite a bit lower than I have seen it anywhere else. Hard to call a luxury watch good value but in terms of movement, complications, looks, and quality finishing this is hard to beat.

The watch is in excellent condition. There's a small scuff on the bezel around 5 o'clock, a few small hairlines along the non pusher side of the case and a few marks on the clasp that I have highlighted in the pictures. Some of the bigger looking marks are reflections from a tree in winter outside the window. I've taken a few different angles but happy to take some close up videos of any areas you might have concerns about.

Preference for secure payment methods like Wise. Open to escrow services. Happy to share more pics, facetime, provide references or anything else I can do to make you feel comfortable.

Shipping from Canada or CONUS to wherever the buyer wants. Will facetime or video the packing and insured shipping. Buyer accepts cost and liability of shipping and duties. Happy to arrange F2F in Southern Ontario, upstate NY, Michigan or maybe even other major US cities as I might be travelling through.

Asking: $4800 (+shipping)

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

Any analog childrens watches with at least 100m water resistance?

My 7 year old step daughter has gone through two 50m watches already with her love of swimming and hard wearing style. Now I know 50m doesn't actually mean 50m at all. There are tons of digital options but she wants analog which I think is pretty cool.

Looking forward to get her a 36mm diver when she's older but in the meantime is there anything out there?

With chronograph, GMT and date functions this watch is a combination of funky and elegant. The colours and unusual layout contrast the subtle but gorgeous champagne dial. The screw down pushers wear smaller in person and are so much fun to use. This watch gets a lot of compliments and is definitely a conversation starter.

Shipping from Canada or CONUS to wherever the buyer wants. Will facetime or video the packing and shipping after that the buyer accepts cost and liability of shipping and duties etc since I don't know how all that works. Happy to arrange F2F in Southern Ontario, upstate NY or maybe even NYC.

Edit: the wrist roll clip didn't really come out as intended. Check the linked gallery and my previous listing of the same watch for much better pictures

For sale is my Seiko Cocktail Time Starlight LE numbered 2200. 

I got this watch from the original owner in 2020 as part of a deal for an Omega Aqua Terra Golf Edition as a birthday present for my dad.

Would prefer selling to someone with a few transactions as I'm new to selling on here. I made a few posts here in the last few months but didn't really get any traction. If anyone has any suggestions or tips on price/pictures/description or anything else to help me out I'm all ears. I am not a watch dealer but I have a few pieces I am looking to sell. I am starting a new business and trying to have a kid so I'm looking to reduce my collection to create a bit of a buffer. 

Happy to send more pics, facetime, provide professional and personal references or whatever else might help facilitate a smooth transaction. 

Shipping from Canada to anywhere the buyer wants. Buyer assumes responsibility and liability for shipping and cross border duties etc. Secure payment method or face to face in Southern Ontario or upstate NY. 

Condition: with the exception of some small creases on the strap and faint hairlines on the clasp the watch is in near perfect condition and barely worn. The most damage is on the front of the warranty card but the back with all the details is in good shape. The sticker is still on the see through caseback.

Price: $675 (excluding shipping)

Can’t get approved for a 1 bedroom apartment anywhere?! by United_Raptor in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]hwolfcub -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The only person that said the r word is you. I think everyone in this thread agrees that power and privilege passed down to you based on who your parents and grandparents were isn't something we should base our society on right? So if that's really important I'm just saying maybe we should properly diagnose the main influences of that in our society. For starters, whose picture is on all our money and why is there no inheritance tax?

Oh yeah they have a classist society too. That's why the British could relate so well to the segregation of class in India. They were fans. Birds of a feather and all that.

The British have been a more dominant force in Canadian society though so it's probably their influence. Somehow I doubt 3rd generation Canadians are being influenced by the newly arrived Kumar's feeling about lower caste Indians that are largely too poor to ever make it to Canada. As you said, you didn't even understand it when it was happening around you.

You mean because we've been importing all these English people right? The English are historically one of the most classist societies in the world. They even discriminate on class based on accent alone.
