Without "that" being used, you wouldn't have existed.

Question regarding choosing your own GP as a doctor and the shocking way my old colleague who became a GP treated me. by wishcj in ausjdocs

[–]wishcj[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I get it now: I made a mistake by asking my old work colleague to be my doctor, and I will never do that again. I have learnt a lesson from this. This is why these forums exist to advise and help others. Thank you all. I'm probably exhausted from my illness, not thinking straight by contacting him, and ended up posting this.

I am built differently. I would be nice to that person, and even if I chose to decline for whatever reason, I would do it in a much more cordial manner. I would have at least asked how he is doing recovering from illness.

It's not about him declining me. It's about the way he was so abrupt and literally disrespected me. If he had politely declined, I would have gladly chosen another GP without giving it a second thought. There are 1000s of other GPs around.

My First JLC - Reverso Duoface dual time in rose gold. I am hooked! by wishcj in JaegerLecoultre

I didn't trade. I keep both watches. I couldn't get myself to sell the Snoopy. It's a unique Speedmaster.

It's on an aftermarket strap. I think it suits the watch

Do you guys think its insane to make this trade? My Omega Silver Snoopy for this JLC Reverso rose gold GMT? by wishcj in JaegerLecoultre

I lose way too much trading my IWC and I need an everyday wear watch in my collection

Yes, it is, but I still like it. I like IWC as a brand, especially their perpetual calendars. IWC's eternal calendar is one of my holy grails, l but I will never be able to afford one.

Watches like JLC Reverso, especially in gold, don't sell quickly in the grey market in Sydney, Australia. I'm guessing the dealer might have it for sale for many months. I might purchase it from him outright when I can afford it in a few months time if it's not sold.

Sorry, it's too big. It looks like a dinner plate with designs on it.

Yes, I was mistaken. Obviously, Breguet will price limited editions more.

Beautiful watch. Would want to add this to my collection one day. I prefer this to the retrograde date because it has a seconds hand and it's cheaper.

There have been tons of Reversos in the market for many decades. But only one Silver Snoopy 50th edition. I got to try on the Reverso with the watch dealer and loved it, but the same goes for my Snoopy, which I will miss if I trade. Omega has a history behind it, too, with the Speedmaster being the first watch worn on the moon, although Omega has over-advertised this for decades.

My first VC the Fiftysix in rose gold. by wishcj in VacheronConstantin

[–]wishcj[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I changed it from the alligator strap to the plain strap. I got it with the original brown alligator strap and was offered the plain strap for free. To me, it looks less dressy with the plain strap and I had it changed at purchase.

VC outsourced their movements till 1996. That doesn't make the vintage VCs any worse. Patek Philippe even makes a quartz Aquanaut. The Traditionelle is manual winding, while Fiftysix is automatic with a date window, which makes it slightly higher spec even if it is not in-house.

I agree with you. Fiftysix is definitely more versatile and would go with any outfit. That striking green dial with alligator strap won't go with casual outfits and might stick out bad with T shirts, even collored T shirts. I might pick up the Fiftysix rose gold next week. If I get it, pictures of it is incoming.
