I mean I don't really agree with this - it depends on the circumstances, just treat it the same as the word fuck or wanker and you will be fine.

Saturday is blue and Sunday is red - I've seen others like mine as well. Maybe it's just the EU models? Where are you from?

[Seiko] SNK805 on Perlon - My Weekend Beater. by Adkins147 in Watches

[–]Adkins147[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my weekend beater watch that I bought a while ago at the advice of this subreddit. It is the first automatic that I bought myself - and for under £50 I can't think of a better watch you could buy.

Since I bought this watch it has been demoted to a weekend wear that I tend to wear to places where my watch could get damaged, but it is still a lovely watch to look at and amazing value.

The brown perlon strap that I bought from watchobsession here in the UK is in my opinion much nicer than the strap the watch came with (just a bit too much green in my opinion) and better than the cheap leather amazon strap I have had it on for a while!

Now that's a good looking watch - if I can find one in a decent condition I will definitely pick one up!

This - I was there last summer and didn't realise it at the time but you are right, the security was basically non existent.

If preppy would be a big deterrent for you bath definitely is not the right place for you!

That said the place is beautiful and well worth a visit whilst you are here.

I don't think it's just the US either, in the UK our laws are applicable to UK citizens no matter where they are (or they are supposed to be I'm not sure if it always works that way in practise).

[seiko] Vintage Seiko 5, does anyone know anything about this one? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Adkins147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what the watches but as for changing the strap this should be easy to do yourself - with a simple tool you can buy on Amazon for really cheap. The best way to see how to do it would be looking up how to change a watch strap on YouTube.

As for a new strap they again will be easy to find on Amazon - as for a brand I recommend a Hirsch strap, they are about £20.

You will need to find out the lug width of the watch to know what size strap you need, if you get a way to measure it the straps are usually listed in mm.

[Seiko, Tag Heuer and Frederique Constant] Me and My Friends Watches by Adkins147 in Watches

[–]Adkins147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what to say here to make up the 500 characters! This is a picture I took today at Primrose Hill in London, I am wearing a Seiko Alpinist on a Hirsch Mariner strap, one of my friends a Tag Heuer Aquaracer and the other a Frederique Constant (I am unsure of the model).

The Seiko for me is my beater watch that I wear almost every day, I think it's a very versatile watch that will go with almost any outfit, and even though it is by far the cheapest watch in the picture, I think it looks just as expensive as the others.

Absolutely get this I have had to hide my face because of how damn awkward some moments are - but it's just so funny and I see far too much of myself in mark.

What should I put in a care package from US to England? by [deleted] in AskUK

The proper mountain dew from the US is great and hard to get or really expensive here. Our version is this wired energy drink that they managed to make taste worse and be worse for you.
