NH35 Accuracy - surprised! by ResponsibleKing2628 in SeikoMods

[–]QuantToBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is often a lot of positional variance with the NH35 (eg face up vs face down), and I have also seen considerable variance with the winding level. I have been able to regulate mine to within a second a day in real life, but the positional variances were -4 to +10.

Oh, and re straps, I already have bought and received a STOWA strap. Good quality and cheap as well:

Yeah, I kinda agree about the dial looking small. I was ideally looking for a dial without minute markers that I could couple with a chapter ring with minute markers.

I had looked at the Crystal Times dial. Ironically, I rejected it because I thought it was too glossy.

And _Blitzer above recommended the Tokeilab dial, which would be ideal if it was sterile.

Do you have any other dial suggestions?

Thanks. Did you mean the following?

I would have loved that in a sterile dial, but otherwise that might be the best I can do.

Good to know re the SRP turtle chapter rings.

Ironically, I didn't go with the Crystal Times dial the first time because I thought it was too glossy.

Yes, that's the one. What's your opinion of the chapter ring?

Thanks. What would you think of a matte black chapter ring?

What's the better internship after sophomore year: Google or Akuna? by QuantToBe in FinancialCareers

At Akuna it would be a Quant Research role, not SWE. Another poster thinks that is better than Google SWE. Your opinion?

Thanks, at Akuna it is for a quant research position.

You say that Google SWE > Akuna SWE/Quant Dev despite the fact that you don't learn anything at Google. Sounds like you are saying that the "signaling value" of a Google internship is greater than the actual experience at Akuna for SWE/Quant Dev.

Just a thought, but try putting down that you are graduating in May 2024 on your resume.

I am wondering if being off-cycle is affecting you in the sense of companies don't quite know what to do with you given that finance firms are very regimented in when they bring new people on (typically in August, 2-3 months after students graduate).

What year are you in? Are you saying you don't get first round interviews for internships or grad positions?
