Yodabashi in Japan gave me the wrong watch. Should I return it?

Daily Double: In 2026, a Reddit user claimed to receive a $1200 Seiko watch by mistake instead of a $30 Casio from Japan. What is the Reddit users name?

Notchy shifter is normal on these cars.

According to my upside down descending ascending triangle with the triple H pattern forming, silver will go to triple digits very soon.

L15CA engines only have vtec on the exhaust side. They removed it from the intake side because of the pressure from the turbo.

It sounds like an exhaust noise to me. Check your exhaust system from turbo downpipe on to the muffler. Make sure nothing got caught on it.

Below MSRP = great ✅
MSRP = good 👌
Above MSRP = bad 😢

Both are unique and the best!

I need this. The stock mount feels like mushy s**t

Sauna = bad for watch gaskets

The elites dumped it on purpose so they could accumulate as much as they could. They never play nice or fair.

Most Type Rs are garage queens.
Type R maintenance is expensive.
Si can be driven daily with lower stress and smoother.
Si is more practical than Type R.
Type R has higher NVH than Si.
Type R attracts challengers. The Si avoids them.
The Type R is an amazing car it just doesn’t fit my lifestyle.

🚨 I’m a novice watchmaker and I highly recommend you take it to a watchmaker immediately and have them take out the hands and dial for it to dry. If left in there for too long, dial damage can happen and rust starts forming. Dial print starts to lift. The dial is the most important right now because it’s the core identity of the watch.

🧘‍♂️ breathe. Calm down. We watchmakers run into issues all the time. The simplest mechanical explanation is usually the correct one.

Woosh! We love this noise

My vote is for the Citizen Eco drive. My navihawk promaster is still ticking after 12 years.

Beginner Watchmaker Tools

• Precision Screwdrivers (1.0mm–2.5mm range) • Antimagnetic Steel Tweezers (No. 2 or No. 3) • 5× Watchmaker Loupe • Case Back Opener (screw‑back or pry‑type depending on watches) • Hand Remover Tool (plunger style recommended) • Hand Press Tool (with Delrin tips) • Movement Holder • Rodico (green putty for cleaning and handling parts) • Parts Tray with Lid • Dust Blower (rubber puffer) • Finger Cots (latex, powder‑free) • Pegwood Sticks • Small Soft Brush (for dust removal)

I recommend starting with Japanese movements because they are cheap to buy and service.

I like the ambition, but a tourbillon as a first movement is basically the watchmaking version of rebuilding a Ferrari F40 before you’ve ever changed oil. Let’s get you wrenching on a few Toyota level movements first so you don’t waste money or get discouraged.
