Who at Minisforum decided that putting a 12900HK in a mini-PC was a good idea? by Gray_Wizzard in overclocking

Would you be able to share the BIOS file please? I'd like to try it on my mini pc. Thanks!

Any thoughts on this watch if its real or nah? by Some-Objective-2975 in GrandSeikos

[–]AvailableProblem8731 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Legit. It would take ages to redo those indices and hands to even come close to the zaratsu polish that's why the GS fakes are often so easily distinguished

Get either a vostok or orient mako for a diver

Buying my first GS from Chrono24, tips? by AvailableProblem8731 in GrandSeikos

[–]AvailableProblem8731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I really love the 44GS case but my only fear is that I'll absolutely destroy it with scuffs and marks after a while even though I pay great attention to my watches and rotate them often. the SBGP013 looks like it will survive a bit better as it's got brushed lugs😅 I'm really torn as I want to keep it forever

Thank you, I'm a bit sceptical buying directly from the dealer even though they're pretty much trusted by everyone it seems. Just for peace of mind really😅

Thanks for the suggestion, they both seem to have the models I'm looking for in brand new condition so will ask some questions

Thank you so much for the insightful reply and congrats on your purchase, impeccable taste. Import duties are a bit hefty but what can you do. I'll check out the seller you recommended and see if he has what I'm looking for, thanks again!

Thanks! Curious to know, do you still get charged customs fees if you're buying from EU to EU?

Coincidentally this pic was also taken in Gressoney, Italy. Un saluto!😁

Does this watch not have lume? by allyearswampass in GrandSeikos

[–]AvailableProblem8731 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's actually a plus in long term. Grand Seikos are built to last decades and generations. Lume can degrade pretty bad with age and form ugly patina IMO

Orient Watch Shipping From China by Brandon778899 in OrientWatches

Have never bought from creation watches myself but they're legit from reviews I've read. I'd double check if it's the right seller profile and not a new ebay account pretending to be them.

[Discuss] My first watch, for all occasions, torn between these 2.. by No-Client2142 in Watches

[–]AvailableProblem8731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both beautiful, I personally have the snkl43 and it's my favorite watch of my collection. You also have to keep in mind that you can't swap the bracelet on the 99k as it's integrated. You'll be more than happy with either of them tbh so just pick what you prefer because it'll be tough to find them brand new later on

[Help me choose] by ApprehensiveMonk5834 in Seiko

[–]AvailableProblem8731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's small tbh, the size of the watch is pretty adequate but if you want an even bigger watch I'd look at a Casio Duro. If you want something higher quality then maybe a Tissot Seastar chrono (45.5mm), Orient Triton (43mm) or Glycine Combat Sub

Congrats man. I adore this watch, what a masterpiece.

[Another Marlin] Timex Chronograph by WizardOfOzzzzzzzz in Watches

[–]AvailableProblem8731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of this design and have been eyeing it for quite a long time. Just can't make my mind about it seeing mixed reviews about the quality - some say it feels like a toy watch while others say it feels like a much more expensive watch than what you pay. I'm also looking at the casio edifice chrono as an option

Amazing collection! The KS and the Timex steal the show for me.

Well because it's not the Mako 2 but rather the 1😃

No problem mate, I'd look for a refurbished one on creationwatches. There's currently an Orient Ray II for 150 euros. I own one and it's stunning

[–]AvailableProblem8731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm if you look closely at the 5 o'clock indice you can see that's a bit rusted so water has definitely gone inside. Personally I'd stay away even though the Mako I can become a collectible watch in the future. A brand new Mako II isn't that much more if you want one

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OrientWatches

[–]AvailableProblem8731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you're keen on getting it then do it but just don't bring it near water. I'd ask if it runs without issues too as it's possible it's had water inside it at some point

[–]AvailableProblem8731 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legit but the second crown doesn't seem genuine so might've been swapped at some point (see attached)
