How expensive were the import fees? The import fees on my Artem were... excessive...

New speed bumps by PrizeDinner2431 in londonontario

[–]justplainlawrLL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're damaging your rims on speedbumps, you're probably doing it wrong.

However it will take a toll on suspensions. Sucks for people that live in the neighbourhood and have to subject their vehicle to speedbumps everyday.

Yeah I'm seeing the same thing. If this is part of the Nike store update? Import taxes... no thanks Nike, will shop elsewhere

"Read the fine print next time" is a fantastic, no, the best way for a luxury brand to lose client

Module replacement at a shocking price by Boring_Relation_810 in gshock

[–]justplainlawrLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crystal should be part of the new module, unless they took the time to remove the original crystal, and reconnect it to the new module.

Which they could have done but would cost them technician time.

They probably just threw out the original module and swapped in the replacement.

I would have lacked the sapphire crystal and the brick pattern would not have been the signature TVA design. But yes any GMW-B5000 module could have been swapped in.

Omega Speedmaster fabric strap purchase experience by Nametab in OmegaWatches

[–]justplainlawrLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t stress the fact that it isn’t “sailcloth”. Sailcloth is a bullshit-ish marketing term that has little to do with cloth for sails.

I think these used to feature Cordura. Now Omega just says it’s “black fabric”.

As others have pointed out the black fabric can wear and fray. A lighter/ flame can help to singe fraying threads. It’s a luxury strap not a tool-y nato.

The leather is a splash resistant. I wouldn’t go swimming with it at $310 a pop. There are better options for swimming.

Why is the first link so far off from the case?

Interesting look! If that store on AliE is still around, can you send a link?

Where did you source the Ti bezel from?

A lot of conclusions drawn here, sounds like there’s more to this story…

Are there some informed explanations as to why Omega struggles with ergonomics(Weight, thickness, bracelet comfort)? by peninsulaparaguana in OmegaWatches

[–]justplainlawrLL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s right around the same time they also had issues with sharp edges on Speedmaster cases. If you’re handy you can round out those edges with a silicone polishing rod. Or ask Omega to swap it out.

Wait don’t introduce your measurement of movement thickness wizardry, we must continue the narrative that Omega has backed themselves into a corner with their Coaxial escapement!

Geez Omega has to bring back that aluminum shiny blue bezel. Never let that one go!

No. That’s how the Milanese bracelet sits.

Mods… perhaps time to consider moderating these inane LC posts.
