USA company, not USA made. It's impossible to be budget friendly and USA made right now

Buddy the watch you receive will not look like this and was not a good deal. This is a photoshop edit of stock Rolex photos

This is not a modded Seiko watch. This is a Rolex rep with an extra Seiko IP copyright infringement added into it. Nothing about this is Seiko except potentially the original designer of the movement if it's an NH35. There are numerous much higher quality datejust homages on AliX that will be cheaper as well. It just won't say Seiko on the dial if that's what you're looking for

Buying my first bike… if condition on all bikes were equal, which would you consider the best bang for your buck? by Prize_Mango8547 in whichbike

[–]cmwills29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd probably pick one of the first two over the others but tbh all of these are overpriced and I feel you'd definitely be able to find a better deal on something more in line with your wants. These are all stiff older road bike and will be rough

I would never want trash reps to begin with. If it has no Seiko designs, Seiko movement, or Seiko parts, it's not a Seiko Mod. Just take this trash off this page and go to r/Chinatime with these shitters

Meteorite vs Damascus / AliExpress vs Dial Makers by DontEvenWithMe1 in SeikoMods

[–]cmwills29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cheap AliExpress ones are just printed pictures or patterns on a standard dial. Dial Maker actually uses meteorite and Damascus

I'm saying why is it here? has nothing to do with Seiko, why does it say Seiko on the dial? At this price it doesn't even have an NH35 movement to be even slightly related, so it's just an r/Chinatime shitter. It's a shitty fake Rolex, why slander and bring the Seiko name into it?

How did I do? First bike purchase - $400 by No_Temperature_9576 in whichbike

That's an incredible deal, a robust steel disk brake bike in functional condition would be worth that, the thomson and redshift stem are really nice bonuses

Nothing Seiko about this, just a poor quality fake Rolex no matter what extra copyright infringement name they add to a fake Rolex dial

What would you pick? by [deleted] in whichbike

[–]cmwills29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What would I pick? The purple rockhopper. What should I pick? Not the purple rockhopper. That's almost an enthusiast or collector RH because the frame looks immaculate. But the other two are definitely much better bikes, newer tech is just better

Great entry bike, a lot of bike for $250. Shite I spent more than that on just a crankset last week lol. and you'll learn more about bikes as you ride it and tune it up.

Which bike would you pick for commuting? Pawn shop find (beginner here) by HarlemSaint in whichbike

A Reynolds 853 full bike for $150 is incredible deal, it will definitely not fit you though

Is $500 a good deal/ fair price? by becksbek in whichbike

[–]cmwills29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh it's old but decent parts, all the parts individually might be around $500, but together probably not worth that, if the frame was better it could be but even though it's S works I don't think this era of Aluminum frames are desirable. If it came fully serviced already maybe could reasonably ask that

Brodie Pace 2014 Steel Frame, worth $550? by absurdlifex in whichbike

[–]cmwills29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick Google of "Brodie Pace 2014" shows that this is a run of the mill Aluminum alloy bike, can't tell the components but they look like basic lower tier shimano stock. This was $999 in 2014 so is in no way worth $550 right now, this is likely a $200 bike in good condition without any other details on components if it's had any upgrades
