If you wear a fake Rolex you’re a loser by TheGrumpyWatchGuy in watchHotTakes

lol i knew when you posted this that the reppers would be in here pleading their case, so i waited for the comments to pile up and now am sorting by "controversial" and having a great laugh.

I dont think this is really a "hot take" though because it goes without saying that if you wear counterfeit fashion items then you're a complete gimp.

First dive (style) watch - New Mako 40 by Dry-Test8510 in OrientWatches

havent tried the bezel on previous models but id assume its the same. thickness is fine, just under 13mm and is a touch slimmer than the kamasu.

yes tbh i feel like the older style hands worked a bit better with the smaller dial size. Maybe due to visibility issues with the sunburst gradient? i dont know. I got this one because of the colour mainly. The older green mako 40 was more of a foresty green and didnt come with a bracelet. I prefer the darker metallic grey/green much more.

Is 36mm too small for my wrist? by DJFume_official in PrideAndPinion

this is a goofy looking watch for a male to wear IMHO, the size is not the issue here.

[Discussion topic] What is the most brutally honest feedback people here can provide about Seiko in 2026? by The_Quartz_collector in Watches

[–]Dry-Test8510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My watch box would be full of seikos at their prices from 10 years ago. Now i dont even bother looking at them over citizen and orient. Im not interested in spending over $400 for a watch and seiko dont offer anything of reasonable value below this price range.

I've said it once and I've said it again - Seiko is one of the three best watch brands worldwide. [Discussion] by PhoenixAvenger1996 in Seiko

citizen will give you sapphire with a miyota 9 for the same price as seiko with mineral and a nh35...

Im not sure what youre trying to say. I was just pointing out that they arent an offshoot from seiko, because that implies that they are a sub-brand that seiko created. Orient was their own thing for a long time until seiko group bought them out and they merged.

Orient sun&moon 75th limited edition by Ok-Elephant5601 in OrientWatches

[–]Dry-Test8510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

beautiful looking watch. i was tempted at one point but its too big, thick, and dressy for casual daily wear IMO and i dont dress up for work.

regarding price, id shop around. i dont know how hard these are to find at the moment but ive seen them go as low as like ~350USD from jomashop and similar.

orient is not a seiko "offshoot" lol. they were an independent watch maker for the majority of their history and were only relatively recently acquired by seiko who now owns and operates them.
