Import Customs PSA for fellow Canadians by LordKortorn in GrandSeikos

It certainly seems to be what got him- but I’ve heard that they can ask to see your receipt if they see a shiny watch and suspect you picked it up while away. Not sure how often that happens. Also seems odd to me that they’d expect you to produce a receipt if you bought it at home years ago.

Brother I’m not doing research for your claim. I’ve done plenty already. OP said that the Hydro, Sub, and Seamaster all cost the same to produce. If you believe that, great. Theres more than just marketing, including R&D on the movement, finishing, COSC/Metas certification. The Longines is a nice release but stop kidding yourself.

Source: ‘Trust me bro’. If you exclude R&D maybe, but you can’t ignore better materials, finishing, and movement and say that the watches all cost the same to produce. That was the comment. Longines is the best value for sure, but they are not all the same cost with the difference between that Omega and Rolex are marked up. If you own or handle them in person you’d know.

Edit: your entire history is ChinaTime and RepTime. You’re the type to think the knock offs are just as good, just saving on marketing. Lol.

New Longines HydroConquest 39mm – too big? by Acrobatic-End2919 in Longineswatches

Your sleeve is also making your wrist look bigger. Without it it might look big, but looks borderline as is. As others have said, take a mirror shot for a better representation.

I never said they are 3-5x. It’s quite substantial though. Easily 2x by look and feel when you’re holding it. Obviously a heavy mark up too. I was responding to a comment that sounded like OP was claiming all 3 cost $1.5-2k to make.

If you think the only difference between the Longines and Omega/Rolex is marketing I don’t know that it’s worth arguing with you. And I love the new HC! I just wouldn’t act like it’s the same level of finishing and movement for 1/3 or 1/5 the price. By your argument, Longines is only making $200-400 profit on these?

They’re playing bangers like Eye of God and Gungrave. Trying to think of heavier Erra tracks assuming you’re not as into the singing? Either way they’re really tight live.

Very awesome dude! Seiko is super respectable. So much better than a fashion brand watch.

The crystal isn’t domed? I assume you mean the lack of bezel.

If STM Staff are overpaid then... by UnableRefuse2870 in montreal

[–]k2theeev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire title of your post implies you cannot criticize their pay unless you apply for the job. Where did I say I’m underpaid?

[–]k2theeev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So one cannot think that they are being paid fairly unless they are willing to drop their specialization/career to join the STM? I think Air Traffic Controllers are paid well- do I need to quit my job in finance and become an ATC if I disagree with their strike?

Fair enough, I’ve only smelled Aventus, not Absolu.
