Sourcing a Sub

goaliechris · Post by **goaliechris** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 5:03 pm

Gents - I've been contemplating something recently and I'm starting to question my sanity. After my Seadweller (16600) gets back from service I'm thinking of doing something I never thought I would - sell it.

Why? I've always wanted a birth year watch (1971) and I've always liked Submariners. I especially like Red Subs (who doesn't, amirite?). So, I'm thinking of starting a quest for one of these unicorns. Knowing that the journey is perilous (expensive), fraught with danger (fakes, Franken-watches), and lengthy, I am doing a lot of reading and learning.

A big part of this is finding a trustworthy source. A few names I have seen pop up here are hqmilton, Honolulu time, and Shear. Another person here I've seen a few times is Zack?

Any hints and tips you would have would be appreciated. Including talking me off this f'in ledge.

I am Zack. I know modern watches relatively well, but not vintage. Talk to the site owner (matt.wu), he's the one I ask when it comes to vintages

I bought mine from Kirill - LunarOyster.com

HQ Milton is a safe bet too

Hey Zack - thanks!

Graham - I like the cut of your jib. I'm getting close to the ledge. Once I sell that SD then I guess that's the beginning of my fall.

Graham is Scottish for "enabler"

I'm EASILY influenced by peer pressure, group think, and blondes.

10 Past Ten ( http://10pastten.com ) is also good. I have purchased one watch from them with no issues.

I have bought from HQ Milton twice and they were fantastic. Note that you can negotiate down about 10% from their listed price on the website. They often list a watch on the forums for slightly less than what it is on the site.

I have been to Honolulu Time and they were very nice and knowledgeable. Have never purchased from them though.

These watches tend to move very fast, so if you see something on one of the sites that you like, email or call them immediately. Prices have been shooting up lately also.

I've been invited to be a judge at an international beard competition - I met with some of the panel while they were in Vegas and I was at SHOT.

Apparently "bearding" is a pretty big deal in some circles and I think my response sealed my seat:

Panel: Your beard is a 9 out of 10. We'd be honored to have you as a judge

Me: Thanks

Panel: Which salon and stylist do you use to maintain your beard?

Me: My bathroom.

Panel: Our members use a variety of product to treat their beards, which do you use?

Me: Pussy. I use pussy.

At which point they both smiled, shook my hand, gave me their cards, and pulled out their planners to schedule my Judgeship.

Lol

Some girls at work told me about a beard club and told me I should join- I said "what the hell kind of guy goes to meet with other bearded men!?"... They nodded in agreement and that was the end of it.

I use honest Amish - actually now that I keep it shorter and I have the g-eazy do- I use it on my head.
Great stuff

That is one sexy beard. I've got one but it's the closer version.

What's IG?

1) I'm just a judge

2) I don't think they know what pussy is so I'm in the clear.
