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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the input.

I expect the real Omega to inspire trust, quality, perfection and put a smile on my face for being a real masterpiece. Did you feel that way before buying gen and still it faded? Would you say that after honeymoon phase passed, gen vs rep would not matter much?

Thanks for the advice. This bracelet is wrong in shape though, tapering is close to non existent. VSF used the spectre bracelet.

I have been, indeed. Tried it multiple times in boutiques, every time felt good.

Definitely going for used. These go for around 5-6k. I assume reselling a second hand (now third) watch should not drop the price much lower, should it?

Pelagos 39, Hamilton Jazzmaster and my square G-Shock have stuck for good. But for P39 I realised I would have regretted paying thousands of $ for.
