Re: Who is Here?
I've only been "into" watches since October. I swear, I don't know what happened. So I have very little presence here, there, or anywhere.
But since November and December I'd been scanning F71 HUISABH a lot and yeah, towards the end had skipped a day or two and noticed something wrong there, saw this site linked before it was ... unlinked. Too late for them, I already had it opened in a new tab and bookmarked.
Without knowing very much about WUS nor their policies still, it was at that point I realized whose side WUS was on and it might not be mine.

Re: Who is Here?
Well, lord help me, I just made my first purchase from the new HUISABH here. I should have stayed away.
I SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY!

Re: Who is Here?
Are you sure that you didn't get the older version of that from Ashford? Because the picture you linked is the updated 2018 Basel World version. Both versions look good though, just doubtful because the 2018 version is like $1500+ msrp.

You are right. The one I got doesn't have the recessed area on the dial where the moonphase is. I just did a quick search to find a picture to post, and I didn't pay that close of attention. They look almost identical. This one had that high of an MSRP too, but the new model puts it on clearance I guess. I don't really care, because I love the blue hands and have been wanting this color scheme forever!

Re: Who is Here?
Yeah I like the look of the old one better, though the new ones have a displayback which is nice.M111 wrote:AndroidIsAwesome wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:52 pmAre you sure that you didn't get the older version of that from Ashford?

Re: Who is Here?
i'm here too. I got banned from WuS and was looking for somewhere to lurk and learn.
I've always been into watches but bought my first expensive watch (Tag Chronograph) in 2009 and have been adding new ones occasionally.. and then selling the ones i don't gel with - i wish i could afford to buy and forgot them as i'm sure i'd make some longer term money on them but hey - who knows?!
Anyway, i'm a 46 year old publican with a 21 year old daughter at uni, and i currently live in Bristol.
