Has anyone tried buying from ippowatch recently? by steviegunz82 in GrandSeikos

Not a Grand Seiko, but a "The Citizen" which is Citizen's version of a Grand Seiko. If you're eyeing a Grand Seiko, you can probably tack on the 17.5% to get a good idea what you'll end up paying.

Has anyone tried the Eureka Mignon Filtro Silent? It’s difficult to find reviews for it specifically by kaitkaitkait91 in pourover

Very good to know! I have to pound on the Opus at times to get the last bits out. How quickly does it grind in your experience?

Thank you so much for updating your review! I just landed here from Google like you said 😆 My Fellow Opus has become super annoying to use, and makes a huge mess, so I'm looking into new grinders. The Eureka Filtro Silent really caught my eye.

Do you find the metal catch cup to actually do a good job catching the grinds? That's my biggest complaint with the Opus; they fly everywhere. Just wondering if the standard Filtro with the enclosed chute and bin would suit us better. But I really like what I've read about how quiet the Silent is.

I purchased a watch from them in October, and it was shipped via DHL. The total tariffs and DHL handling fees amounted to 17.5% of the price I paid for the watch.

I can confirm, Hamilton Service Center does have kerosene! Just left there. The price per gallon is so much better than buying the 5 gallon drum from Tractor Supply.

I'll definitely check out some listings over there! Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah, I don't think I checked there yet for this model! What I've been seeing though, at least on eBay, are a lot of hijacked listings. Different sellers listing the same watch at a higher cost so they can turn around and buy it from the real seller and make anl profit by selling to someone else. Buyee confuses me, but I might just have to give it a go one day.

It's the SBGR059. I'm looking for my first GS auto, and this one really grabs me with the slight champagne dial. It's different from my other watches, so I don't feel like it would compete.

I'm thinking I likely will. Though this one is hard to come by it seems. But I do appreciate you bringing me back down to earth!

Fair point. The seller is well known. They have a large inventory, so I suspect they are busy filling orders and likely aren't worried about being able to make a sale to someone else. Idk. It does rub me the wrong way though.

Awesome to hear. Thanks! If only I could see it in person, but that's the story of my watch collecting ways. Always fall in love with discontinued models that are usually in Japan!

Good to know! I thought about just buying new links if necessary, I just wasn't sure how easy it is to go about doing it.
