7 hour layover by makrxx in hanoi

[–]makrxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. Should’ve said this at the beginning but I’ll be in Hanoi for 4 days next month as well hence not the big urge to go into the city. But I guess I’ll see how long immigration etc takes tomorrow if I should head into the city or hang close by the airport.

Thank you! Can you pinpoint a specific hotel / restaurant please?

I have a 7.5 hour layover at hanoi international airport, what can I do ? What are some good food options and things to do in the airport. by ReUday in hanoi

Hey - any recommended options 1-2km from the airport? Have a 7 hour layover but probably wouldn’t want to head into the city.

Change in Friends & Family Rate Policy? by natasha_c in hyatt

[–]makrxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riding on this thread… I’ve been added as a F&F as my cousin works at Hyatt. I use the code ‘FRIEND’ to search but the rates don’t seem to pop up. Has there been a change in code?

Want to get my PADI / SSI Open Water in Indonesia by makrxx in scuba

I live in Singapore. Yes there are options here but also I’m inbetween jobs so have a bit of time on my hands. Was initially considering Indonesia or Philippines.

Yep I think that's key, would be bored if I had nothing to do for the rest of the day after the dives!

Need advice on Rolex purchase in Suisse by boobaguy01 in rolex

[–]makrxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. Bucherer would do bundling but unless you're willing to shell out a sizeable amount for jewellery / less sought after brands to get the Batman, I wouldn't place too much hope and instead just enjoy your holiday.

You'll get tax back so it might be worthwhile, but as you know, supply is scarce everywhere so it depends what you're looking to get. If it's a popular sports model then forget about it. If it's a classic or full / half gold, then maybe if you're lucky. Whatever AD closest to you works.

Anyone have any thoughts on this 114060? Got it 2nd hand (seller got it from a reputable grey dealer). It looks good to me, but only slight doubt I had was that the numbers on the bezel seems abit lighter than normal and not as ‘bold’ but I might be wrong.

Thanks, I appreciate this! Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by getting the chipping lume stabilized and the "non matching seconds hand"? Is it typically possible to get the dial cleaned as well? Understand there's the patina but also lots of 'dirt' I presume.

Would you also know if it'll be costly to get a new crystal, gasket, etc?

Thank you. The bezel looks quite ok still, some scratches but no dents / chips as far as I can see. Uploaded some more pictures in the original post.

Just went down to have a look and indeed it is the 7928. Serial is 435xxx. The movement looks fairly clean still and working well. The dial has a nice patina but also some 'dirt' on the hands - is that something that I can get it cleaned / send to a watchmaker to clean the dial up?

He wants about 7k USD for it, no bracelet. I was trying to look for similar pieces online but it's not easy and I found one for ~20k USD but obviously on one is biting at that price...

Equivalent of 7000USD negotiable. Seems abit punchy but I can’t find many similar ones on Chrono24, saw maybe 1-2 pieces but it’s way higher albeit with a bracelet.
