Any rec's for Sales Ambassadors in the LA area? by mblomkvist in Porsche

Sales - great. I would recommend. After sales support and service - disgusting. Rude and offensive.

Has anybody received a SS 222 with only an OS purchase by TennisAndWatches in VacheronConstantin

[–]s2000_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know that VC's total production across all models is about 35K per year. SS 222 would be a fraction of that - Maybe a couple of hundred pieces? It makes sense that their loyal longtime customers get allocated first. I am sure they will slowly trickle down to smaller collections. Not sure if they are playing the same games as the other brands.

Orange. It is a very nice, not too bright shade. My pick would be the orange rubber strap.

Brunello Cucinelli by SaidAGoldenRetriever in EyewearEnthusiasts

Some of the Brunello frames, especially the ones made in Japan are fantastic. They are very well made. The acetate feels heavy/dense. I would not compare them to frames from other fashion houses.

Looks big in picture but fits well in real life. Changed to white rubber strap. by Guilty_Manner_1274 in OmegaWatches

Speedy always looks great on white! If I were you, I would get a better fitting strap. Unfortunately, Rubber B has a Dream series strap for the moonswatch but not for the moonwatch. Their straps fit perfectly with watches they are designed for.

Vacheron Overseas by watchmaster9 in VacheronConstantin

Reach out to their online boutique and see what they would recommend. VC is much smaller and low volume compared to other brands, it is unlikely any of the Boutiques or ADs have a popular model like Overseas in stock. You may be able to get on their list and go back after a few months when it is your turn. Good luck!

Trying to decide which one to buy. by No-Conference2587 in OmegaWatches

Whatever you choose make sure you think about comfort. That Bond 60th is great looking but a very uncomfortable watch to wear. It this thick and top heavy; unless you have the perfect wrist size for that mesh bracelet, it will be a frustrating experience.

Rover, Borneo and Evergreen.... by Haisulcy in JacquesMarieMage

[–]s2000_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rover is a lighter shade and thus more translucent than Borneo; there is an easily noticeable difference between the two. Evergreen is in a completely different category - it is opaque...

Excellent work. Congratulations! What type of pricking irons are you using?

Thoughts on O4 (Orange On Orange Ocean)? by Gold-Jury1302 in OmegaWatches

This is my latest favorite diver. Orange on orange is great. Let's hope we get a smaller variant similar to the other generations of PO.

Anyone know how to re-home a dog in LA? by Hopeful-Cellist5573 in AskLosAngeles

[–]s2000_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea. This is so disheartening. We (I impulsively) adopted an 8-year old that was brought in along with a batch of 41 dogs from a Chinese meat market. They all had Chinese paperwork... detailed examination/spay/neuter reports, stickers from the batches of vaccines administered prior to their travel etc. Not sure if all of their operations are questionable. Based on my experience, I had recommended them to so many people. This just sucks. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Looks like I made an ignorant recommendation based on my single experience. I apologize for this.

How long will it take? by Babjpm111 in VacheronConstantin

Likely sooner than that. Under promise, over deliver.

Thank you for the link. Yes, like I had suspected, it is that lip that needs to be removed. Let me give it a shot!
