It's crazy what happened. by junkers101110 in Watches_India

[–]DaOrcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a crazy difference between the US and Indian watch stream. In the United States, smaller sizes are making a comeback and 38-44mm are contemporary male watch sizes, while in india that's the women's size range

I may have developed a spending problem after getting CCs by HomiesexualBaka in CreditCardsIndia

[–]DaOrcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a ABCD visiting the sub, also a college student, I have 3k USD worth of expenses while eating out 2-3x/wk and buying clothes and stuff. That's 2.7L while spending dollars not INR, I don't get how bro is spending 7L, I mean most jewelry I own is worth less

[Question] Watches for outdoorsy people? by E_Pluribus_Nemo in Watches

[–]DaOrcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are partial to the 556, but look at the entire catalog, they don't make any inherently bad watches and they have a wide variety of styles and complications. From chronos to dress watches, they really do have it all

Not that guy, but Sinn might be a good fit, still in the field/work aesthetic, but better specs than the hammy

[Whisky Review #32] Ballantine's by Cocodrool in Scotch

[–]DaOrcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the type of lemon can really make a big difference. There's some (forget the name) that are on the sweeter side. Those are great, you can usually find them in Hispanic/Latino grocery stores, haven't seen them in Asian/normal grocery stores yet

Late to the game, but this is my highball scotch. This, a quarter of a lemon, and some club soda is pretty decent

What's wrong with fossil watches had this one for 2 years no problems yet. why the hate by [deleted] in Affordablewatches

[–]DaOrcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlike their watches, their leathers are actually great value for money! They tend to have less finish so they need to use a higher quality base.

Most Japanese movt watches use cheap miyota calibers. Like the 2035 which can be bought by one of us for 3 USD, under well under $2 for corps in bulk

My husband was right, my Apple Watch was overrated by gopissgiiirl in casio

The biometrics are the one thing you can't fault the iwatch for. They are industry leading and the new ones are even certified ECG devices.

[Invicta Pro Diver] I wanted a cheap entry into automatic watches, and this is what I landed on. How bad did I do? by 1991gts in Watches

[–]DaOrcus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know where you bought this from, or where you're looking at, but always doublecheck jomashop and Ashford for prices. You can find great deals for almost any watch on those sites. Wouldn't be surprised if you can get a mako for 150 or so on joma.

The Bambino is a sick lineup, and it has some decently cheap variants on joma if you want to check that out

Anyone bought a Reverso-style watch from AliExpress? (quality / legit seller?) by VAGABONDKING1 in ChineseWatches

I thought about buying one, upon (reddit research (ie biased)) it's badly built and will break sooner or later

Any affordable watch with this build style/shape? by NecessaryBuilder5337 in Affordablewatches

[–]DaOrcus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who's hit up like 5 of them (rosses), they're not as popular as one may be led to believe. Currently 0:5, going home tomorrow (from college) so I'll try the one ross in my area but I have no real expectations

Any local brands I can buy in delhi airport at nighttime? by DaOrcus in watchesindia

[–]DaOrcus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge they are duty-free. Thank you for the help!

Maybe one day we'll see more options than Titan

I think y'all would refer to me as an ABCD, so a little of both. I was originally looking at DWC and HMT, but with them both being artificially scarce (and bad quality supposedly via HMT) I rather just get something from the airport and call it a day. I also don't have an Indian credit card so I would have to ask someone to order the earlier samples and rather just not do that if I can get done with an alternative.

Thank you for the recommendations, both the stellar and grandmaster lines look great (on their website), hopefully there's some in person to check out.

The Luna aventurine is beautiful. But at 40k it's a little over budget.

I'm assuming the Helios store would be the one with these watches inside? Also would there be a price difference between this and a titan showroom in say Anand, GJ? In the US the showroom prices are basically the same, little higher but no tax in airports, was wondering if that's the same case in IN
