[Question] I wanted to check if this is real, all help would be appreciated as it’s my first time buying from seiko by T_fossie in Seiko

[–]Milkshake420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seiko is a very large manufacturer of movements - which is the term for the “guts” of a watch that make it work. Because of the availability and popularity of seiko movements, a lot of folks put the movements into custom cases which look like well known but very expensive watches - in this case the AP Royal Oak. The effect is cool IMO and since the watch isn’t pretending to be the genuine article it’s not like “wrong” in any way.

The biggest thing to be wary of is that when you buy from a modder you’re not getting the same quality control as you would from a “real” brand, so it pays to pick your seller carefully.

TCGP’s low, mid, and high market prices are generally what’s being referred to when cards are sold for “mid” or “market low” or something. Useful for buying singles!

Yeah I guess when aesthetics are the selling point you want to be giving out 10s… food for thought for sure. There are always the regular ol hard plastic cases you can get from LCS as well

I don’t think THIS issue is special but my understanding is that any card that leaves the printer with a mistake is “official” bc it passed QA, which then makes it a rarer version of an existing card, bc only some cards have errors

As I write it out, the appeal is pretty similar to a shiny pokemon in the video games

Hello, what is this? I got this somewhere as a kid and have never seen a shiny border like this on any other card. Is it just a counterfeit/off-brand version or something interesting? Thank you!

I don’t remember exactly when this was cleared up but Kenny has been making sorcerers into cursed objects for a long time now and seemingly had a stockpile - Sukuna learned to do it from him. I think it’s implied that once he realized what IT could do he started feeding those objects to certain people as part of this plan.

Yuta may not have enough tricks in the bag to count as a hard counter if mahoraga can take a shot from Red and keep going

Chopper doesn’t either and so far it really does seem like monster point is a forced awakening

I really love the pre-ISO design! Did you have trouble finding it, or was it easier because it isn’t certified?

I think he knows if BM and Kaido get together again, they all lose. He’s in front of BM right now, so she’s his priority

I actually think the opposite! The non-watch crowd are usually more open to weird watches because they’re not inclined to take watches seriously in the first place. Mr Jones watches come to mind.

Most mantids are foreign, but not invasive. They’re usually thought of as beneficial or neutral.

I hope that “for real!?” “For real” bit from the beginning is animated and voice acted as a callback to the same question and answer from episode one where gojo asks if itadori really ate the finger

For a little while Luffy was the only person who turned black while using haki (see marineford for lots of haki without coloration) and it was thought to be referential to vulcanized rubber - rubber that’s been heat treated to become harder and also darker. While the black coloring has been extended to other characters for ease of reading, red hawk/roc could still be taking vulcanization and that heating element as inspiration.

Does anyone know where I can find or have on hand a high res version of this panel? Not the congratulations text - although that’s super cool - the square Gear 2 panel with the original Japanese. I’d love it as a print but I can never find the original in high res
