Thank you for your contribution. You are making the community better. Glad you posted it.

It has special ECO DRIVE TECHNOLOGY. That means the light shining from my heart, triggered by the sentimental value of babby's first watch can keep it powered! Certainly special.

not the guy you're replying to but is american express a good credit card company? what sets them apart from others?

i got my first credit card (visa) about a year ago from my bank, and have a pretty good score right now. if i'm looking to get a second card to have another line of credit, should i try applying for an american express?

That watch is disgusting.

Yes, they have great benefits, especially the Platinum for travel. You get a personal conciege that can handle your travel plans and get you VIP tickets to events, free upgrades at hotels, good rewards points and you always talk to a professional, English speaking customer service representative.

These are charge cards so you have to pay the balance in full each month, which is good in my opinion. I just think of it as a debit card with purchase protection and rewards plus more. I would recommend them over any other credit card bank.

nice frottage session there user

:( It's the best movement of all the Speedmaster Reduced at least.

They are good from a consumer point of view if you can afford one as they give benefits especially if you travel.

However they completely rape the retailers as they charge ~3% commission on every sale. Compare that to Visa or Mastercard which are ~0.25%.

That's why not every store will take Amex.

Well most big name stores accept Amex, and most places abroad accept it. Only really stingy, small businesses owned by shietsers don't accept it.

thanks, that sounds very good. i don't have a problem with paying off the balance every month, and that's what I already do.

i read that they don't charge interest which is why they require paying off the balance every month. does this mean they charge an annual fee?

Yes, but if you utilize your benefits properly it quickly pays off the annual fees and more. They also have $0 annual fee credit cards too.

The main offering is charge card which you have to pay off at the end of the month and have to pay a yearly fee. Though they do off credit cards too.

Hey guys
What watch should I pick and force spam it to every thread for the coming months?

Attached: tgv_grandpa.png (604x605, 609K)

Haldimann h9

Rolex submariner

This pls

Some micro brand affordable luxury with a regular ETA dropped into it and with no ISO water resistance marks on it. Preferably a diver but any watch will do. 40+mm ideally.

It has potential, but shouldn't a forced watch be cheap shitter?

Browse kickstarter and shill a watch on there.

Look at the moment pics

Why would you even want to do that?

Movement rather.

I want to contribute to these threads and inspire people.

Yes. Men did for decades. Everything is oversized now because of fat fucks.

All the watches I own save for my SARB035 are 33mm.

> I want to ... force spam

Something doesn't add up ...

>Them spacers

I like my 34mm so yeah.

How should I contribute to these threads then user?

/wt/ in a nutshell

So how about them auctions huh?

I guess you don't have a slice of nature in you.

I actually tried to bid on some of the watches but the online bidding broke for me.

Which ones?
I'm surprised by the Elvis watch 2bh. But the other big sellers are about where I had expected.

A couple of De Bethune's and some vintage Vacheron's.

Nice windyknob

The Elvis watch was likely inflated by Elvis collectors rather than the watch collectors.

What is the benefit of having a wooden dial

this tag honestly doesn't look bad

My thoughts as well

each piece is UNIQUE, INSPIRED and A STATEMENT with HAND-CRAFTED ARTISTRY

Diesel
A manly watch has to have 4 times and a chrono.

I wish I had money because I would have paid anything for the unique steel Lange.

I feel like there are better examples of ALS you could get for less or the same amount. And I don't think I would use a steel Lange any differently to a precious metal one so any as well go for precious metal.

o

Buying that watch meant you also had first option on the #1 number of each of the other limited edition precious metal versions.

The point of steel is that it's incredibly rare to Lange to use it. They've probably only made a single digit amount of steel watches. It's the same reason steel Pateks are almost always more expensive than the usual versions because of the rarity.

I get why it was so expensive and understand it completely. All I was saying is that for me I would prefer a precious metal one and a different model if I had the money and was in the market for an ALS. That is a lot of ifs ands or buts though.

reddit called, they want their posts back.

I seriously like that white face. I just grabbed this one a couple of weeks ago on Amazon for $318. I'm watching for the 35 to drop a little

Your father called, he wants his load back.

I got mine a few weeks ago as well, either one is unlikely to drop in price any time soon due to being discontinued.

i already wear 35 and have a 34 that i'm going to get serviced and start wearing, so yes.

that stowa is a little plain for me though
