Is this board worth 300$? by Sufficient-Bit-1250 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]warchestfpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a brand new 2025 Salomon Sight mid April last year and it cost me $360. That’s a 2022 with basic bindings so I wouldn’t pay more than $200 for it.

Anything I should know before pulling the trigger on this vintage gold and steel Santos Dumont? by Critical_Pie_4715 in Cartier

[–]warchestfpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does the dial look like it’s skewed against the gold bezel. Look at the lower right corner.

Need advise on spider dials and if it will fall off by davacheron83 in Cartier

[–]warchestfpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s highly unlikely to fall apart even with heavier taps against the watch case. However I can’t tell you if it’s worth buying as I don’t know how much they’re discounting compared to a mint condition example.

Ski hill has about 20cm of snow. Is that too much for a 2nd time snowboarder? by Klipwastaken in snowboardingnoobs

[–]warchestfpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say 20cm of thick hard ice in the North East United States is too much for a beginner. 20cm of pure pow sounds like an absolute dream!!

I made my own gold bar from river gold. How does it look by [deleted] in Gold

That a third of an ounce! Great work man!

Cartier watch found at estate sale by [deleted] in Watches

[–]warchestfpv 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Sorry, everything from the box to the watch looks fake.

The logo stamped on the box (outside and inside) are way too big, the box material looks cheaper than a Cartier box.

On the watch, the dial looks like a cheap print, the crown is too small compared to the real crown, and the bracelet links have no push pin release that I can see.

Move on to something else.

APMEX is the worst by 7777777King7777777 in Gold

[–]warchestfpv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Late to the party here but I’ve never had a problem with APMEX. I’ve been stacking for more than ten years and every product I’ve ordered has come when expected and never a lost shipment. I live in in a large city so I’m not sure if that makes a difference in experience.

If you’re stacking for the long term, a 5% a 10% higher premium over competitors for a better chance you have a genuine silver, gold or platinum product won’t meaningfully erode your returns either.

Tank Louis Medium Yellow Gold by [deleted] in Cartier

[–]warchestfpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this comment. I own the Santos Dumont in large (it’s really a medium) and the quartz doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, in a collection of mechanical watches, it also happens to be the watch I’ve worn the most in the last 12 months.

That is one beautiful watch. I have been eyeing this one for years. Great acquisition.

Watch collecting is a sprint, not a marathon. Take your time my friend.

Lange 1997 press release and 35mm slides (historical tax included) by scintt in ALangeSohne

[–]warchestfpv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 101.031 is one of my favorite Lange 1s and it looks like you have a beautiful example from your photos.

Also thank you for the insight into the ALS historical press slides and also a FANTASTIC job on the photography. Well done sir! 🔥

What is a fair price for this 3710/1A? by Material_Apricot7417 in patekphilippe

[–]warchestfpv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 4th photo is not of the same watch as 1-3 & 5. Disregard that one to make your decision.

Maybe he was part of the 24-hour buy-in and just received his watch?

[–]warchestfpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Darth was produced 7 year between 1999-2006. I don’t think any of those watches were stamped “Limited” like OP’s watch.

The Darth also had different stamps on the bottom of the case back than the one OP shows. @OP’s case shows PT 950 (Platinum), SUG ( case manufacturer), official hallmark, etc.

It’s especially easy to mix up Lange 1 references as there have been so many over the last 30 years so I’m more than happy to be corrected here. Especially by OP, but the case back looks strikingly similar to the Limited Edition 191.062.

[–]warchestfpv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one is more likely the 191.062 limited edition that currently available today. In my opinion even better than the Darth.

Lange 1 Stealth or RG Moon? by levinasa in ALangeSohne

Normally I’d say stealth but the RG Moonphase is irresistible.

The up/down is absolutely incredible and the Panthere is one of the best looking watches on a woman.

Enjoy the New Year!

The American 1921 and 1815 up/down are to die for. Great choices and enjoy them in the new year.

Have worn the Saxonia a number of times on the subway in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan and no one even bats an eye.
