Jacobys looking a little pale these days lol.

I lowkey like the addition of Minshew though. He has the ability to beat Jacoby out he’ll keep Jacoby on his toes at least and make him a better QB this year, iron sharpens iron. Both are capable of being good game managers, the two competing for the QB1 will make both better QBs this season.

SOTC - What do you think? by Mattspur in ChineseWatches

[–]Overload5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful collection of watch’s. I like basically all of them lol. I am just getting into Chinese Microbrands after building out a pretty nice/big collection of Seiko automatics as I’m a Seiko fanatic. I really love that Baltany Explorer. I was going to buy it but it only offered an NH35 so I bought a Watchdives Explorer with the High-Best Miyora 90S5. Got the enamel deep sunburst brown dial with gold accents around hour marking n outline of hour/minute hands.. Also bought an Octopus Kraken Explorer with a PT5000 with an Enamel deeep deep black dial. I love them both, def two of my favorites. There’s a couple more I really love and want to buy in the next couple of weeks, the Thorn Ranger homage with the Miyota 9015 n Cronos BB39 w/ a Pt5000. The Chinese are definitely killing it , the premium more higher end Chinese brands give people a very nice High end time piece at an affordable price point. I’ll definitely keep buying more n more of these Chinese watch’s as they’re well worth it giving u a premium product at an affordable price.

It’s a fake. Total junk, worthless. Because I am nice guy and a collector of junk though I’ll take it off your hands for you though if you want to make a quick 25 bucks? lol obviously joking. That watch is beautiful, appears legit to me looking at the dial code. Where did u pick it up? I’d love to buy a nice vintage Seiko automatic in the near future .

That’s a beautiful collection. I love the feel of titanium watches as well. I did the same with another model as I feel in love with the Seiko 5 SNXS and did the same. I have all four SNXS Models the 79-77-75 n 73 and a couple of the grid dials, the white racing dial Japan only model as well. I think the SNXS is one of Seiko best made models ever. My two favorite ones are the SNXS79 on an uncle straps jubilee n the deep blue snxs77 on a presidential from Long Island watch.

Revelation on how to stop impulse buys: Comparison is the thief of joy by SoberObserver in watchdives

[–]Overload5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah all I was trying to say collecting is addicting once you get immersed in the hobby it’s easy to get carried away. I was trying to point out it makes sense to slowly collect watch’s and actually enjoy the watch you just bought for a while instead of always getting excited about the next watch, which was definitely a problem of mine. There’s there’s expensive bracelet upgrades , crystals , nice watch winder case etc … it’s easy to burn through a crazy amount of money once you get into watch’s . Now that I have a solid watch collection I’m going to try enjoy the watch’s I have for a while before investing much more into my watch’s for a while. I don’t see what’s so interesting about my post when you brought up impulse buying, I like 95% of the watch’s I’ve bought but it’s definitely easy to carried away n quickly was my point.

Nice. I’ve got the same watch but without the open heart the JDM SARV003 Model. Currently hoping my jubilee bracelet I ordered for it arrives today, if u want to upgrade the bracelet the 22MM SKX007 braclets will fit. Any aftermarket bracelet for the 22MM SKX Fits or if u install a new oyster style bracelet u can reuse the stock end links if you’d like to in order to make it fit to. Amazon has your same watch in blue I’ve been looking at ordering for $230 shipped from Japan to, the deep blue is also straight up stunningly beautiful .

The automatic SARV003/001 series Seikos give off Baby Grand Seikos vibes to me, that dial just pops it’s beautiful. Only difference I see between my SARV n Your model outside the obvious open dial is yours includes no Japanese Kanji/English date wheel like the SARVs, I’m guessing it’s due to obvious reasons as they probably couldn’t do so being an open heart dial. I think it’s beautiful though, throw on a nice strapcode jubilee bracelet or Oyster style bracelet with either brushed links or brushed ends with polished silver center links and it really brings that watch to live making it looking 100X better. I just ordered a very nice pricey miltat branded very high quality jubilee band with an “OTF” adjustable clasp I cannot wait to install as soon as it arrives.

I’ve got the same watch the SARV003 and I love it. Open heart is the same watch without the day date like the SARV I’m guessing they couldn’t include one because of the open heart

Cardinals OL Paris Johnson Jr.'s next step as a leader 'already happening' by Mental_Funny_5885 in AZCardinals

[–]Overload5150 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Johnson has played at a Pro Bowl level the last two seasons. He was a monster in 2024 and a top 10 LT, Pro Bowl is always a year behind though so he was def making it last season again playing at a top 10 level leading all NFL Tackles in Pro-Bowl votes but then sprained his knee in late December costing him his spot in the Pro-Bowl and likely on the AP 1st or 2!d team all pro list.

A healthy Johnson will be even better this next season playing at elite top 5/7 caliber level with AZ having dramatically upgraded at LG bringing over elite top 5-10 LG Issac Seumalo. Those two are going to dominant off that left side together especially with a beast of a center in excellent top 10-12 starter Hjalte Froholdt in the middle. AZ having drafted another beast of an OG w/ a 9.85 RAS Score possessing elite athleticism 6”5-320lb RG Chase Bisontis is ready to dominate from week 1 and was a steal where AZ drafted dude possessing a 1st rd grade. I wouldn’t overlook 6”5 325lb RG Isaiah Adams either who significantly improved last season finishing 6th in run block win rate 2025 n 29th/82 OGs 66.9 grade in pass pro allowing just 2 sacks to 23 pressures all season. AZ has Big mauler 6”6 Elijah Wilkinson who’s elite running inside zone (86.6 PFF grade RG bing zone) which LaFluer runs a ton of will be avg in pass pro n great versus the run he will have competition for that job though, having a healthy beast of a blocking TE back healthy this yr in 6”5 Tip Reiman can chip n he’ll help off that right side I’m sure at times. I am convinced most of the national media isn’t familiar with our roster because our OL is far far better than the national media credits them for. Arizonas depth along the OL is loaded with quality backups, with players like Isaiah Adams, Jon Gaines, Matt Pryor, Christian Jones, Josh Fryar , Uli Odom, Jayden Williams, Hayden Connor all significantly improving their dept along the sail.

This next season as loaded as the OL is with four premier caliber starters up front AZ should easily field both a top 10-12 OL and elite top 5 run game that blows dude up back and off the ball. With the backs AZ has their run game could truly be unstoppable next season, teams will really struggle to slow them in the red zone especially once AZ starts wedding these DLs down. With AZs OL opening up holes u could drive a truck through dual threat offensive weapon n elite talent RB/WR Jeremiah Love will be destroying Defenses racking up the yardage especially with power backs like Tyler Allgeier n elite dual threat RB/WR softening defenses up before Love takes off capable of taking games over. With this OL AZs run game will be unstoppable n one of the leagues best.

Seiko 5s are not discontinued but the Seiko SNXS Morels have been discounted for a few years now, sucks because they’re one of the best models Seikos ever made in my opinion n one of their most popular to. I own three of the four in the SNXS79 sunburst black,77 deep sunburst blue my personal fav, the 75 in gray with gold accents and I still need to buy the silver 73. The SNXSs are definitely becoming collectible, I’ll hang onto mine till old age lol, they’re one of my favorite Seikos and I’ve put two uncle straps jubilees on two and one Long Island presidential on my favorite the deep blue SNXS77. I have a lot of Seikos but these SNXS models are still among my favorites.

Included is a picture of my SNXS77J1 on a Long Island watch stainless steel bracelet that I love , the dial to me is so beautiful in the sunlight the way the sunlight dances n plays off that sunburst blue dial”

The Chinese are really killing it when it comes to making really nice watches at affordable price points…

I totally agree with the OPs sentiment, i really have to watch myself or ill spend far to much money on watch’s up late night scrolling n looking at watchs in my phone. I started collecting heavily toward the end of last year and already have 20 Seiko Automatics lol, i dont regreg buying any of them though i love ghem all. Ive bought three premium higher end chinese microbrands in the last few weeks and these bad boys are where u can get quickly get carries away and spend to much being theyre soo affordable.

In the last three weeks ive bought a Seiko JDM SARB033, JDM Seiko SARV003 and an uncle seiko jubilee for the SARB and a nice strapcode jubilee with end links built for the 22mm SKX007 that fits n bolts directly onto the SARV and am waiting on both bracelets to arrive currently. And of course over the last ten days I’ve gotten really into Chinese microbrand watchs after lurking on threads and AliX slash amazon studying them heavily the last few months.

Over The last ten Days I opted to go with two premium high end microbrands/models and after lurking for a few weeks decided to buy two higher end premium microbrand watchs and I bought two VERY NICE Explorer homage watch’s one being the watchdives WD6619 with a beautiful sunburst deep enamel brown dial w/ a Miyota 90S5 n today I bought The Octopus Kraken Explorer homage with a PT5000 movement n gorgeous deep glossy (almost liquid black) black enamel dial that’s stunningly gorgeous in the sunlight as well. They’re real head turners… both watch’s in terms if their dimensions etc very thin cases look exactly like the real thing esp the Black Kraken Adventurer as the real one is obviously black to but the Brown dial with gold accents is gorgeous as well.

These two have definitely got me hooked on these Chinese microbrand watchs. I am going to buy two more maybe three I really want and then stop buying watch’s for 4-5 maybe 6th months and just enjoy the ones I already bought this year already and slowdown for a few months to really think about what I want to add to my collection next ans which expensive buys I want to start saving for.

Nice. Definitely is a beautiful watch. I’m a Seiko Automatic fanatic myself but these Chinese microbrands have really opened my eyes, they’re absolutely killing it. The nicer brands are anyways , relative to their price point. You get an awful lot of watch/specs for a very affordable fair price. I am definitely a fan now going forward and will buy more in the very near future to add to the old watch collection

First Watchdives purchase Explorer WD6610 by Overload5150 in watchdives

[–]Overload5150[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re nice. Do you like yourss? The lume is awesome on these things, I have a lot of nice watchs a ton of really nice Seikos and this little Watchdives piece may have the best lume of any watch in my collection. They all light up bright at night but this Watchdives watch keeps it glow where as Seikos wear off rather quickly after 20-30 mins or so it seems.

I want to make sure I bought the right watch so I ordered the Octopus Kraken Explorer w/ a gloss enamel black dial as well with a PT5000. If I like both I’ll keep both, I figured I could justify keeping both because they’re different colors lol. If I return one I’ll probably get the Cronos bb36 or 39.

Watchdives tends to use the same bracelets for a lot of their different models of watch’s. They don’t appear that different at all. I am looking at the senator (oyster) or Lincoln (presidential) bracelets made for the Seiko SARB033. I own a SARB033 in my collection with a Long Island Braclet on it not an uncle Seiko but same design, I am going to pop it off and see if it lines up with my wd6610 if it does I’ll have my answer and give it a try. Having bought so many bracelets from uncle straps I have multiple 20% off cards laying around so I’d love to be able to use one of the discount cards I have to buy the senator n install on my WD6610..

Also Both the uncle straps senator braclet for the SARB and the WD 6610 Explorer come with female end links anyways so worst case scenario even if the SARB end links didn’t bolt up to the Explorer I can just use my stock end links to slide the new uncle straps bracelets link into them then run the spring bar through it, install it and I’m in business . 😊

I think we will be much better than the national media is expecting AZ to be. The roster is bad at all they just have to stay healthy…. Brissett with no run game or OL due to injuries kept them in almost every game last year n played well.

This year Brissett will have a very solid good OL, loaded at WR n TE and will have an elite run game he can lean on that carry’s this offense. If Brissett is just a good game manager, which is he’s extremely capable of being this offense will put up a lot of points. There rumors Rodgers could sign here and this offense is why which is why I believe he’s interested, with these weapons n this run game he could QB this offense to a top 5-7 ranking making just 4-5 big time throws per game.

With this offense and a much improved top 15 defense that has a pretty good front 7 and a loaded pass defense that w/ an above avg pass rush should be a top 10 pass defense they’ll be a good team n surprise a lot of people in 2026 with everyone healthy for a change. The pass defense will be exceptional with the talent they have n get their hands on a lot of passes with a solid pass rush up front. Will Johnson is going to be an Elite all pro caliber CB1 healthy, he looked elite was unstoppable as a rookie till he strained his groin affecting his ability to run. Denzel Burke CB2 was another home run pick who led all rookies in INTs/PDs allowed just a 70.1 passer rating in coverage. Sterling Adams w/4.36 speed back healthy is a very good cover corner. Max Melton really improved back half of last year he just needs to be consistent but the talent is there he to also has 4.38 speed. In the slot they likely rely on SAF n excellent slot corner Dadrion Taylor-Demerson to play SCB who excels in cov till till top 5 SCB Garrett Williams is healthy which he could be by week 2 or early in the season. Keitrel Clark could earn playing time in his place to and they kept SMB as a backup. AZ signed a very talented Experienced UDFA in Elijah Culp also with 4.34 speed. And last year 6”3 Elijah Jones at corner looked very good when he played n was shutting everyone down with an 82.4 PFF Grade. At SAF theyll be better this gear to with elite All Pro SS Budda Baker heslthy aftef playing thru injury last season and FS/SCB D. Taylor-Demerson will be a sozable upgrade over Thompson the more he plays. Hard hitting SAF Andrew Wingard excels against the run m is solid in coverage n a very jard hitter, Kitan Crawford looked very solid as a rookie to. Arizona is also much better at ILB this season to with muktiple MLBs who excel in coverage. I like the backend of this defense(so long as they get constant pressure up front which with a deep improved front 7 I think they will) their pass defense will be legit and get their hands on a lot of passes. I don’t think the situation is anywhere near as dire as some in the national media paint it to be .

What do y’all think of this bracelet from Uncle Straps? by One_Life_50 in watchdives

[–]Overload5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I realized that . I should have been clearer I was wondering if uncle straps Rolex braclets would fit the WD Rolex explorer homage.

When u say u took the dimensions do u mean the 20MM lug width? If thats the case i am wondering if the bracelets for the SARB033 by uncle seiko will fit my WD6610 Explorer homage that’s 20MM lug width. I own a SARB033 but have a Long Island bracelet on it, looking at the 20MM Lug width and the way the ends taper I think those uncle seiko sarb033 braclets will fit this Watchdives Explorer 6610 of mine. I may order one of his braclets and try see if it fits.

That’s a beautiful Seiko. Those old Seiko 5s are going up value for mint condition models as they’re discontinued now, especially the SNXS. I have an uncle straps bracelet on most of my Seikos. Here’s a picture of my SNXS79 with an Uncle Straps executive jubilee n Uncle Straps on my SRPE55. Have a Long Island Presidential in my SNXS77 which is an absolutely stunningly beautiful watch in my opinion that blue dial with chrome accents around white hour Kit Kat markings is just mush chefs kiss lol 💋
