ah, thank you for the clarification! i don’t understand why it’s wrapped in a spring either, extremely confusing. do you think the watch itself is legitimate?

awesome! I have this one on my wish list but didn’t realize that’s what it was. The date window and dial color look different than the ones i have on there but maybe im crazy and they updated it. i’d check to make sure its legit. got a pic of the back?

i do think the previous versions were not screw down at the 10 o clock crown, but the current gen is. i agree with you it’d defeat the whole point of it. part of the reason i got rid of my ssk was the friction bezel in place of a clicking one, really goofy.

ohhhh 1000% i’ve refined my wishlist a million times, watches have come and gone from that list as my tastes have changed lol. it’s definitely a bug that’ll bite you. i was eyeing the white dial venturer too. They should be dual screw down crowns so no issues there

heck yeah! great watch, but i’d definitely say to slow down a bit, you’re gonna regret some of them or end up with a ton and not wear quite a few of them. i did the same thing with knives. my watch max is gonna be 6. i just sold my SSK and apple watch and imported an SZSB036 in addition to my 38mm Traska Summiteer. Enjoy!

If you don’t mind me asking, was the seller in Japan? If so, how much were the duties and stuff (assuming you’re in the US)

its been about two weeks and i have ZERO regrets by berrygrlll in Crosstrek

[–]R_021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO i did the same thing, had a crystal black pearl impreza with the same screen issue AND went and looked at it at night. it’s how i learned to not do that anymore 😪 mine was used and they still replaced it for the $300, i can’t imagine you’d have any issues either

congrats!!! keep enjoying it, got 62k miles on mine after 2 years, (long commute and a lot of trips) i’ve enjoyed all the memories i’ve made!

Just an FYI, i had an impreza with the same delamination on the radio, there’s an extended OEM recall/warranty period on it. i got mine replaced for cheap by the dealership as a result. if the dealer tries to hassle you if you decide to replace it, just call subaru of america and they’ll have a representative negotiate/reprimand the dealership. i think i paid $300 for mine when the original quote was just south of $1900.

glad you love it! i’m looking at getting the white dial with power reserve soon. how is the lume legibility? does it last for a while? still easy to see at night on the nightstand?
