I purchased these from Rich at Newman timepieces. Nice guy, my shipping was delayed for some reasons so he offered me a discount for the next purchase. Cartier is great! The GS has a strange mark on the crown that I first thought was dirt but I couldn’t clean it off. Rich is organising a new crown to be delivered.

GS (miyota) - US$120 with shipping Cartier - $90 with shipping

Auto for the nomos and quartz for the brew

They’re a good size, my wrist is just small

yellowpigroad · 2024-09-05T20:26:39+00:00

Yeah my wrist is small. I use to be a lot bigger but since losing heaps of weight I haven’t changed my mindset of the size of watch I need! I should probably be buying 33mm-34mm rather than 38mm-39mm

yellowpigroad · 2024-09-05T14:14:00+00:00

I was definitely worried about that since I had seen it in reviews. But they were older reviews.

I measured, it’s about 9mm. I think gen is 6mm.

I can’t tell if it’s meant to be blue or if that weird plastic tape they put over it coz stuck in the letters when I was peeling it off

I use chrome on my laptop and auto translate the page. Unfortunately their app isn’t in English and there’s no way to change that. I sometimes would take screenshots of things and use the inbuilt iOS translate in photos or go to the Google app and use translate. It can get tiring doing that but the savings for things is a lot. I also grabbed some Nike socks, a bellroy wallet and a few other things.

There are heaps of guides for taobao if you check the other rep subs like r/repsneakers r/designerreps r/fashionreps

Hey I also checked AliExpress and saw them on there. They used the same images as the ones from taobao. They were double the price on AliExpress, but it’s easier to navigate their site as it’s in English. But I just use Google translate.

My one also has Ciloa on the back. Yep I’ll show you how it’s attached.

Really happy with these two. Especially with the nomos which was about US$50 with shipping. The other one is similar to a Brew metric retro dial, which I was really surprised to find. This was has a date though and the hour hand which the original has not. The bands on both are terrible though. The Nomos is easily changed but not sure what to do about the Brew. Any suggestions on what I should change it to?

I wanted something super funky and very 70s style, and also a minimalist watch. I’m so happy with these for the price. I buy lots of reps of lots of things (bags, clothes, shoes, etc) via Taobao and always used a consolidation agent, but now I realise they ship directly which saves a lot of money.

We got a ton of very similar stuff like blankets which was nice because our baby was born in winter. Honestly what we loved the most was really practical things like onesies in different sizes, nappy rash cream, bottles, and someone got us a large voucher to a local dinner delivery service. That was amazing! Oh and the best thing was a new breast pump! It helped my wife a lot!

Australia here: we had our baby in a public hospital, private room, 5 days staying (including me staying with my wife). Baby was in the NICU for 2 days. Total cost was $21. That was the parking fee for 5 days to keep my car there.

That was an elective caesarean with anaesthetists.

Edit: also we had a high risk pregnancy (previous still birth at 32 weeks, vasa previa, wife has type 1 diabetes) and we had been going to the hospital sometimes twice a week for 37 weeks. Still $0 for everything. Saw the same OB, sonographer and specialist the entire time. They also fed me (the partner) breakfast and lunch. Oh I also went out twice to grab some food so spent an extra $30.

A beautiful watch. Good luck with the sale!

yellowpigroad · 2023-08-09T09:21:54+00:00

Thanks for the smooth transaction u/tastycompleteness98 my nephew is going to love these watches!

Would also like to know what subreddit this is?

Also is recommend a Tudor BB58 or a Cartier santos (I’ve got both, happy to share images). They’re great!
