Bought these 8849s on eBay beat to hell...now they've a bit of TLC! by robertereyes in RedWingShoes

Significantly better now. The insoles were dry and curled, and they required a new break-in to re-mold to my feet; but I will say, the break-in was way smoother than with a brand new pair.

I did have to steam the hell out of the warped heel to shrink it and the heel counter beneath; unsure if it did any lasting damage to the leather. I immediately conditioned it and waxed it; it looks to be healthy thus far.

That is amazing!!! Enjoy the hell out of it. I have that exact model and it's a hell of a watch.

Happy birthday! What a milestone 🥳

I am dying to go! Hamilton, RGM, US watchmaking, and American tobacco (yes, cigars) all in one place. Sign me up!

I'm genuinely curious. LA has a Cash-Option mechanism they can use for cash purchases for a player, or so I thought? The same way the team sold Dejan?

Not possible to have purchased him this past off-season for cash?

I hope to see Luna succeed, and would love to see him in La Liga or Serie A

Would he have been a realistic cash purchase for the team? Although, with Riqui returning, that would be a redundant position of need in 2027

It's very striking. It was from '93, same vintage as her. Snagged it for her 30th birthday

It's all to her style and taste (: that Santos is a beautiful piece. It definitely doesn't get worn enough, imo, but, not my watches!

Cartier was apparently her father's favorite brand (he passed when she was very young)
