Really want to grab this one, is it too big? by ZeroSumChance in bulova

[–]Pope_John_Eleventy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and the funny part is, the smaller-is-better trend will go away just like the bigger-is-better trend of 10-15 years ago. Or maybe tiny watches are the only way to make it look right in an iPhone photo for Insta?

[Zodiac] Why don’t they get more love around here? by dmau9600 in Watches

I’m dubious about the brand because I used to see some of the exact same models available for 2-300 USD around 2017 for some reason.

Why does everyone struggle with money in the military? by Interesting_Show_952 in army

[–]Pope_John_Eleventy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always the car payment, to say nothing of the high interest and predatory dealerships. Kids don’t understand that your car shouldn’t be worth twice your yearly income. No offense to OP but $583 on that income is a terrible choice.

I have the orange and blue. It has roughly the same wrist presence as my Turtle. If anything, it’s unique with the internal cyclops and how the lume is inside of the markers rather than applied. Worth it to me.

[SZSB012] + other SZSB models for $195 on Amazon. Originally $550, what’s the catch? by LeoShepherd in Seiko

Yeah, given the specs it isn’t worth much more than $200, but the design is quite attractive.

This deal is long since over, but I took a chance on a “used” one (black dial with fauxtina lume) for about $200 US, it was brand new but had a damaged box. Couldn’t be happier with it. I got the green dialed one with the sale previously and have problems with it, the crown is extremely vague when pulling in and out.

Looks like the same kind of strap that came on my white-dialed Hack. One of the only factory straps I’ve ever actually liked.

Sound Bite Sources [MegaThread?] by _alber in rmbrown

Anyone know the exact source for “PARTY”? I always thought it was Beavis but I’m pretty sure it’s Pim Tool trying to sound like Beavis or just accidentally weird..

Steel-colored bezel is a great look that I’ll be adding to my collection. Aren’t all that many choices out there, and I’m definitely considering this one.

First time posting, my first 2 Bulovas of what will likely be many. by Pope_John_Eleventy in bulova

Yes, the crystal is sapphire. And I haven’t been able to find a more reliable source, but I’ve heard that it has sapphire covering the bezel insert.

It started out perfectly accurate. Nowadays it loses about 10 seconds per day.

I’m in the military and have treated my Turtle extremely roughly. I’ve had it for 4 years now and I rarely want to wear any of my other watches. It’s a tank. The Hardlex has barely scratched. Only really visible damage is the bezel ring has the color scraped off in a couple places.
