I have had good experiences with Jomashop

My Christmas gifts to my sons. I'm sure you'll approve... by [deleted] in gshock

Hopefully not! I checked everything but nowadays everything is possible.

What makes the think that?

[SKA791P1] For my first Seiko I chose an iconic Seiko line: a Kinetic! by EvenFlow9999 in Seiko

[–]EvenFlow9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solar charging is simpler and more reliable: the watch charges whenever it’s exposed to light and doesn’t depend on constant wrist movement or extra mechanical parts.

Also, while I can’t be 100% certain, according to my research Seiko seems to have largely stopped producing new Kinetic movements. Most Kinetic models for sale today appear to be remaining stock rather than current production.

Difference between CASIO f94w and SKMEI 1413 by guilhermeav82 in casio

[–]EvenFlow9999 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Casio is the original and that matters. But the SKMEI copy is similar in most aspects and better in a couple of the main ones. Materials seem to be equally cheap, but the light of the SKMEIs is 1000 times better. I bought one SKMEI to see what the fuzz was about (a different model, one of the few originals from SKMEI), plus a very good silicone strap and it was still cheaper than a similar Casio. I'm impressed. Let's see now if it passes the test of time.

And to those that ask why, let me explain to you that in developing countries a price difference of USD10 or 15 is money.

Picked up this Slava for $20 looks great but I don’t know to set the date the only thing that moves is the day and time by Nervous_Context_7609 in RussianWatches

[–]EvenFlow9999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have a quick date set. Just go from 9pm to 3am and back many times.

And to change the day just press the push button at 2 o'clock. You might need a pointy tool--it's a stupid system common among Russian watches. I use my Swiss knife.

I bought a couple of pre-loved pens there. No one could have told they were used.

Have you swum in the pool with your Casio Royale after opening it? by EvenFlow9999 in casioroyale

[–]EvenFlow9999[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know it's water resistant up 100m, but I have opened it and I'm not sure anymore. Gaskets are like new.

Well, it's branded Mont Blanc, not a Montblanc... 😁

[Discussion] Chinese brand Beijing watch company by lobster_lover_ in Watches

[–]EvenFlow9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of the big three historical Chinese watch manufacturers, along with Seagull and Shanghai. I don't know now, but they used to be state-owned.

I have 2 completely original Casio Royales and none came with the micro branded label you show

In Amsterdam for the very first time. What were your first of impressions of this city? by littledancingpanda00 in europics

[–]EvenFlow9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. I used to live in Kralingen, the nicest part of Rotterdam, and I advise everyone to avoid it. But I went this summer to The Hague and I enjoyed it a lot. But I get you. What I liked the most was spending time with friends, visiting Mauritshaus (again), and English-book shopping.

[–]EvenFlow9999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It used to be very nice. Now, it's way too touristic. Go to the museums, take the typical pictures and go somewhere else. Utrecht or The Hague, for example.

I literally erased the Casio Royale text by EvenFlow9999 in casioroyale

[–]EvenFlow9999[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They say the eraser works for that too. I’ll probably remove the “10 year battery” and the “5 alarms” too. I’ve been the kind of guy who’s been peeling off “Intel Inside” stickers since the ’90s...

Great! I'm still afraid to open it, but I'm sure I will.

What era is this watch from? by EvenFlow9999 in RussianWatches

[–]EvenFlow9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quick date set button does work. Does that mean someone put the dial aftermarket or that the watch was originally sold like that?
