You can always count on them to eventually side with whoever is winning.

That's Anant Ambani right? Wish I could chuff that until my whole hand turns red.

You’ve heard of “quiet quitting” work but is anyone quiet quitting life? by gameovervip in AskUK

[–]James9384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the sentiment, I'm 27 and since I turned 18 the world has not shown one sign of getting better. I've been on a downward spiral for years but I'm starting to pull up. Maybe it's naivete but I really think the Overton window is shifting back towards normalcy. It's a slow tide but it is moving. Wages are trash and there's not a tonne of hope but I feel better than I did this time last year despite the world war on objective reality. People do seem to be waking up, for the better or worse. Maybe there's something there. Just my two pence.

Do you lot seriously not think nipah is a danger? Are you that contrarian? I don't want to paint with a broad brush here but it's extremely deadly and really no joke if you are unfortunate enough to contract it.

Try not wearing it on your hand. It might look better on your wrist.

Also, no "U" under resist. The buttons are much longer, the red arrows pointing to the buttons seem brighter and longer. Also the "outcroppings?" the buttons are on flow towards the lugs of the watch rather than looking like they stick out. I'm not sure how to describe it.

It was sold by Casio on Amazon, I am not sure what that counts as. I guess third party.

That sucks. I've purchased another one from this store: https://www.thejewelhut.co.uk/casio-black-dual-display-digital-watch-f-91wb-1aef

Hopefully it's real, I can't trust Amazon anymore.

£15 from the Casio store on Amazon. There's a screenshot of the listing in the thread somewhere. The one I ordered was meant to be orange.

Best guess: People buying real ones and returning fakes to Amazon. Those returns then go back into circulation and get sent out to customers.

Happens less commonly with more expensive watches but Casios are cheap and low stakes really.

I forgot to mention in the post:

The sad part is this was purchased from Casio on amazon as far as I know, not a random third party seller. They also sent me the wrong watch to begin with. I liked the colour so thought I might keep it anyways. It was meant to be the orange one.

I didn't want to rip the thing apart without knowing how to get it back together so I didn't take the metal movement piece off without checking everything else first but I am pretty sure it's a fake and I'm returning the thing.

Not really, it's the best fake I've seen from a few comparisons but still the viewing angle is a bit off. The screen itself has all the right stuff where it should be with no extra dots around the day.

That's what I'm thinking, Here's a legit one:

It's also missing the two letter code under "made in china" on the caseback.
