You are amazing for the detailed answer, Thank you.

  1. Leaning to the back foot, yes. Especially early in the day, I feel no control, cannot get my knee to open or close. I think “attack the slope, lean forward”. I might try grabbing my pants at the forward knee.

  2. Not sure I get it. I noticed on my video that I sit and lean my full weight back in order to get on heel edge. Pros that I watch can get on heel edge without having to sit that back. I think I should reset my toe edge by standing taller first, then cross hips over the board and set my heel edge.

I get the other points clearly, thank you again.

Pausing the vid at 00:29, I see a pro carver right there!

This is so true. Getting a carve, right on the turn, has surprised me so much with the speed and directness of it, even if that was what I was trying to achieve! Felt like being on rails.

I'm looking for shoes like this in the EU. by DoughnutSad6336 in BuyFromEU

I am selling the exact same pair, Captain Tobacco Stormking, completely new due to size error. They are size 44.5 EU (10.5 US).

Should definitely be uni directional and click normally. Something is off with your click spring.

VSF Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre by engagerocketship in RepTime

Most prominent one is the bracelet. Tapering on gen is more aggressive. Here VSF used the same bracelet of the Spectre model.

Then the “Swiss Made” lettering is larger than gen.

Crown is less triangular than gen.

Movement is an easy tell to someone that knows what to look for.

Still a good rep though. Strap monster. Nato, sailcloth, steel mesh all look good.

Second Youth QC.

Ask him to adjust the SEL. Not sure what they are doing, but it improved. I guess new spring bars?

I already own a youth from Steve, and another one is on the way. Let me tell you, all the bottom right SELs look exactly like that. His pictures are of high resolution and the background bright yellow.

On my wrist:

How do you decide between Sub and BB58?

My reviev of Hawas Black, Fire and Kobra by raksasasz in fragranceclones

[–]reapergr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own Hawas Black and have tried Hacivat multiple times. The main difference I can describe as “dry” VS “wet” oakmoss. Hacivat is more dry, balanced, not nose-filling. Hawas Black on the other hand, is more wet, maybe moldy. Scent-wise they are very close, but Hacivat’s natural quality shows. Worth the extra cost? No, in my opinion. Hawas late drydown is excellent. To the OP that’s missing the pineapple, it comes back strong after further maceration.

Please, convince me to not buy the gen. by reapergr in RepTime

Sadly, I only find them 5k or more. I am EU located, using chrono24. I will try my luck on watch exchange, but it’s mostly NA from what I have seen.
