Show off your dresswatch
Just a few simple ones Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication 3600, PP Skymoon Tourbillion 5002
And my really expensive one the IWC Portuguese 7 day In all honestly as a sport fisherman, cattle farmer, and Parasail Captain I don't get to wear true dress watches much except at parties For fishing tournaments and when I make it to church. Mostly just a SubC or SD. Most of the times it's still just the SS Sub or SD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Blin
Ben, not sure you remember but 3 years ago we had a discussion about if you really love watches you don't only get the 8-10 popular models, but also some that have poor resale, at that time I wasn't ready, but after getting 5 popular models, sold the 15300 2 months ago, I did go full speed ahead and got the Voutilainen, which I would need to sell through auction and take a mega bath on, but it would be one of the last things I Would sell, thanks to you and others I went and got it, if not I would still be with my "normal" watches, your advice was great, if I was richer I would get an HM5 or a Urwerk, on top of the KV, but chose KV, this forum brought me a lot of knowledge, and my collection is finished I think with this piece, didn't listen then, but didn't forget

Oh that must have been a typo from my iphone, but it's also slang, blin is the equivalent of "shit" in slang when you start a phrase with it, I write to my friends using phonetic Russian, they answer me in Russian letters, I read and write it, but since there are more letters in Russian, the smaller the letters on Iphone, complicated to not make mistakes, I have big fingers, even make mistakes on latin alphabet, and prefer to use phonetic, they all understand me perfectly

Well not sure some of the words are translated by Google translate, but you get the idea
Ps: just tried to translate it in french and english using google translate, it does translate even if not exactly the russian meaning, but not bad at all in fact ))) |

About learning Russian, watch everything in Russian, TV, movies, even if you don't understand it helps a lot, but best way is to find a Russian speaking girlfriend, that's how you learn the best |

I also edited the last post on how to improve your Russian, you can trust me on learning Russian, I speak it fluently now, it's very rare when I don't know a word or verb, but the beginning was hard, very difficult language

I'm doing the Duolingo course, but I should be more consistent with it.
It's definitely a bit of a struggle, reading goes so slow As for the Russian girlfriend, that might be a good idea |

Trust me it's the best idea, but watching everything in Russian also, or at least in Russian with subtitles, even now I watch only movies in Russian, not in French or English...

Glad that you agree. While I understand resale is important for many collectors especially if the watch is of high value, watches aren't investment vehicles and the first consideration of buying a watch should be liking it in the first place and want to wear it. It will be sad if everyone just buy watches based on resale then we will only see selected models from PPs and Rolex ( maybe AP ). Frankly, this Ulysses Nardin Enamel dial watch is so stunning in person that I don't think I will ever sell it so it's potential poor resale will not bother me at all. Just my 2 cents.

yes you are right I made a mistake on the last letter, it's not c but ц, and right about the "," but I wouldn't add anything before пиздец, it's like finishing a sentence with "crap", but I live in Odecca, they speak quite a good Russian here, but maybe not the best there is and for the E with two points on top to make io, on IPhone you don't have it
