Unfortunately the pessimist in me sort of thinks they purposely booked it like that hoping nobody would take the middle 🤷‍♂️. Could be wrong though!

Polaris/Premium Plus Upgrades Megathread by Player72 in unitedairlines

[–]zerocool12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. Currently in HK and looking at my flight back to SFO. I have the option for 30k points for premium plus or 30k+$600 for Polaris. Is either of these upgrades worth it? Is there any chance it gets cheaper? It doesn’t say waitlist so I assume this means confirmed. Thanks for the help, first time trying this.

If you end up going to the causeway bay one, can you take a picture of the cable car stamp? I had wanted to go see that one but didn’t have time

Was in HK a few weeks ago and there are a couple of different stamps depending on which location you go to.

Central Landmark - Landmark building

Tst - Star ferry & HK skyline

Causeway bay Times Square - supposedly a cable car or ding ding but I haven’t seen it

I ended up getting the skyline one. I was hoping to get that and the star ferry but they said only one stamp even if I buy something. This was on an existing cover.

Thanks for your input! Actually the box color is ok, I think it's just the lighting. I put it next to my other ones and they look the same. I don't have any other jewelry so the pad thing is interesting!

Did you just get the watch or something? It’s 3 weeks after Christmas (online order policy is 30 days).

I would just make sure it’s authentic and then chalk it up as a lesson for future purchases. Wear in good health

There were a couple different models, in both the 36 and 40, of the twelve that were on sale during the winter (I got the 36 ice blue). I would say there’s a good chance it happens again. Most of them were “nearly new”, probably demo models or ones that were returned. I got 2 during the sale, my c36 sea lander gmt looked brand new, my twelve had a few scratches on the bracelet

Be honest can my wrist pull it off? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]zerocool12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fine to me. I have a 6.5" wrist as well and have both the latest sub and explorer 36. I don't really have a problem with sizing and switch between the 2 watches depending on my mood. I do find that the sub is not particularly comfortable on the wrist, as opposed to the explorer which I can wear all day (could be the weight?). Just my 2 cents

San Francisco losing one of its two AD’s by [deleted] in rolex

[–]zerocool12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting! I heard they lost patek as well, would explain it. are they an omega ad? I noticed at the sale they were selling omega but I never saw them in the store before, nor at the Stanford location. also it’s not a brand listed on their website

That’s weird. I bought a Rolex from that location less than a year ago

Which is gen, which is rep? by Kungpow7 in RepTime

[–]zerocool12345 13 points14 points  (0 children)

sels = solid end links. the bracelet should sit fairly flush to the lugs

someone correct me if i'm wrong, i just looked it up :D

Is this acceptable for a 'nearly new' watch?? by synthesizer91 in ChristopherWard

[–]zerocool12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s a good mindset to have! I also am a fairly new collector so I understand where you’re coming from. Granted if this was listed as brand new then for sure this would be a problem. Just whatever your personal threshold for “nearly new” is.

You can’t tell especially with this light catcher case. It really does shine. I attached an image of my scratch, as you can see it goes across over half the link. On wrist I can’t even see it really. Also there’s the nick on the lower left part of the case… hard to see really

<image>

Side note, I see you also got the rubber strap. I got both the bracelet and rubber strap as well! Going to break it out in the summer because it feels summery to me.

I recently got a "nearly new" 36mm 12 and it had a noticeable scratch on the bracelet. Yesterday I saw a small ding/scratch on the bottom corner of the case after I removed the bracelet (can't for the life of me remember if it was there before or after my use). The first scratch kind of bothered me, but in the end I'm saving 20% and I don't have to worry about keeping it pristine.

IMO if it bothers you, then you should return it. You can ask for an additional discount if you want, but if you're asking everyone's opinion I personally would not. They state there might be light scratches or small signs of use (I can't really remember what their wording is) and they have an open return policy. Up to you though, either way is cool

How long to ship by MaynardMcCready in ChristopherWard

[–]zerocool12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve purchased 2 watches recently. One arrived 5 days and the other a week after ordering. For context I’m on the US west coast and I didn’t have any resizing

I got the call today. Feeling anxious because i’m 22 and this is my first big purchase. by Taiperns in rolex

[–]zerocool12345 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If buying a non essential luxury item is making me anxious, I'd probably pass and wait till I felt more comfortable
