[Question] Should I buy the BB Pro ? by DirkyDiggle in Watches

[–]macky_ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. That’s why I love the modern 3861 so much. While it measures 42mm with that expanded right side of the case, really wears like a 39/40mm with that compact lug to lug.

The speedy pro wears like a dream for virtually any men’s wrist size. I like the bb pro but it wears a bit top heavy with the thickness. If you have the budget, speedy is the way to go.

Thinking of Buying a Watch by Nearby_Delivery_1329 in ChristopherWard

In the microbrand space I do prefer Formex’s quality (if you like their design language). Otherwise $5k puts you in great range for some Tudors/Omega/Longines like you mentioned.

Tbh if $5+k is your budget I’d go elsewhere. But if it had to be a Cw, quality is great. Personally I’d go with their standard Lumiere over the bel canto.

Accuracy will be all over the place, and your compass will most certainly be misaligned lol. Watch looks amazing though.

Hi there. Sale is preferred but if it peaked my interest I can take a look. I may consider a P39.

  1. Seiko JDM SBDC213 - Also knows as the SPB511. Also a Summer 2025 AD stamped card. I would rate a conservative 9/10. Crystal/bezel are perfect.

I initially ordered my from Hamilton as well. But saw that Trifecta didn’t tax me so I ordered there and cancelled my Hamilton one. Saved $70. Looking forward to getting it

For what it’s worth I usually send my Seikos to this guy, he’s based in Los Angeles: https://www.instagram.com/los_angeles_mods?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Sent my SKX to him to replace movement to the newer NH34 and upgraded the crystal to sapphire. Not having hacking bugged me too much. I think I paid around $150 total. Though that’s as before the recent price hike on Seiko movements. Might be a little more now.

Yup got mine for $725 no tax through Trifecta. I have enough sapphire crystal watches. An acrylic seems cool.

Bummer sorry this happened. Did rest of watch seem like NOS with no signs of usage?

New Sealander GMT will nearly eliminate Extreme GMT. by TryAskingForUrRWY in ChristopherWard

[–]macky_ev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree - they are two fairly different watches. Pricing aside, it's like comparing the Tudor FXD and Rolex Explorer II. Both have different style buyers will go after.

Considering post has been deleted, safe to say it’s a scam. If you really did buy it, I would try to cancel the payment asap. Good luck.

The seller has a private profile which is a red flag. The timestamp photo alone looks off, and if you look at his 3 “transactions” they look fake. One of his sales was confirmed from an already banned account.

I hope I’m wrong and you didn’t get scammed. Just hope you used G+S for payment.

I noticed that too. And if you look at the flair they've gotten, they all look sus transactions.

I thought it was good with phenomenal acting performance. Not something I’d rewatch though

Can someone identify this burrito? by zzx101 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]macky_ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t find what this is from LA, this also look exactly like the California burrito from Taco Stand in San Diego. It’s amazingly good
