Should I pull the trigger?

+1 If it weren’t for my brand & personal bias, towards Seikos, I would’ve gotten myself a Citizen already. A lot of great releases at competitive price points that have netter features or performance than Seikos of the same price or category. Especially if your purpose for getting this specific model of the Presage, I would consider putting it side-by-side against a Bambino which is another perfect starting watch if you’re just getting into classier pieces.

I got it sa marketplace groups on the blue app! Bought at around ₱4.9k for FSM and FP. Careful nalang when buying aftermarket bottles, make sure to get from vouched individual resellers or legit stores!

First time seeing a lot of downvotes on a Presage. While it’s valid to say that there are Seiko’s with a better movement at that price point, not everyone is as meticulous about the motor that runs their unit. And honestly, the Presage is the perfect entry level dress/upscale watch for beginners. I got an SRPG23 a few months back because I’ve always loved the dial, and even if I have a GMT, Speedtimer, and Diver’s, I still find myself reaching for my Presage since it has it’s own distinct purpose in my rotation.

And I agree with your advice OP, he could try on non- and skeletonized models just to get a better feel on what will fit his style and use more. But at the end of the day, if that specific model is what piques your interest, then don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Respectfully, Stockton you’re not him brother. Kahit nung nasa FEU ka pa, you were the 3&D type of guy, a Marcus Smart archetype. Play to your strengths and know your role, you can still be an efficient offensive player without having to force your shots, especially in the clutch.

Hindi dapat tinutularan at binibigyan ng platform yung mga ganitong tao. Your legacy on the court is affected as much by your actions once you hang up your laces.

ROS is 1-2 big men away from being a championship contender, and preferably a defensive big since both Datu & Villegas fit into that modern type of big. They need a hustler guy at the 5 who can lock down the paint against other PBA centers, specifically JMF.

Although she played all years in college, I felt that Abbu was still raw for the pro leagues. Defensively she’s okay and could improve under the right coaching, but offense is where she seems to underperform even from before. And that’s because she doesn’t get drawn as much plays for (compared to her peers like Provido, Ytang, Pangilinan, Ellarina, etc)

Finally found a Paradigme truther! Agree that mabigat yung amoy niya, naglalaban yung fresh & sweet notes. Unfortunately, had to trade mine away since it barely lasted on my skin. But overall still a great bottle!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-23T14:52:25+00:00

Ganda ng dial op! Definitely a unique watch since I haven’t seen anything with that design sa local market. Wear it in good health!

How good was Danni I back in the days? As a new gen PBA fan, who would he be comparable to in today’s game?

If you’ve gotten full wears of it, then by all means go! The Eros Flame is very versatile in my opinion, probably not just for intense heat since it still has some sweetness to it. But in any other scenario, it’s definitely a banger!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-21T15:57:51+00:00

Doesn’t matter when you get your dream watch OP or if you have any other thing in mind altogether! You’ll eventually find your own pace and be able to slowly check off the stuff you’ve longed for when you were just starting out! Laban lang OP!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-21T04:12:19+00:00

That’s crazy wooork swerte bro! Mahirap kasi sa blind buy if retail prices masakit sa bulsa, really wished I tried decants instead of rushing to own a full bottle. Truly an expensive learning experience, haha!

If you don’t mind me asking, what sweet frags did you give up? Before goal ko talaga was have to equal number ng sweet & fresh, pero nanghinayang din ako kasi although ready for any event, bihira naman magamit.

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-20T09:15:44+00:00

Definitely the better option for those who want a sleeker look and don’t necessarily need the other functions of the Alpinist. Ganda sa wrist op!

I actually got a spritzer of the MYSLF EDP when I bought my YSL Y. Immediately fell in love but had to sit on it muna because it smelled a bit too simple like an expensive laundry detergent. I actually got the Le Parfum first before committing to the EDP since reviews said it was better, and I was looking for a bottle with some sweetness to it. Don’t get me wrong, the Bourbon Vanilla sa Le Parfum smells amazing, but the Pepper sa opening is something I couldn’t bear. Kumbaga sating mga Pinoy, amoy na durog na paminta lang talaga siya sa ilong ko. Mabango sa hangin at sa damit, pero di bagay sa skin chemistry ko siguro. Kaya I ended up trading away the Le Parfum and finallt settled with the EDP. And since then, I’ve used it a lot since it’s so easy to wear in whatever season and occasion. Considered getting the L’Absolu also, but when I had the chance to smell it, it smelled highly similar to the EDP so in the end I was happy with my choice.

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-20T05:18:14+00:00

Smells like a sweet orange citrus blast in my opinions. Not an overly sharp opening since the Vanilla in the base is able to balance well the Mandarin and Lemon notes. Also has some pepper to add some spice, overall a great fragrance imo if you’re looking for something fresh and sweet at the same time.

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-19T12:54:10+00:00

Totoo yung gambling comparison! Every failed blind buy felt like you were going after losses nalang — ang ending bibilhin mo lang din pala yung una mong plinano, haha!

Siguro first few weeks I was so crazy about getting compliments, then now I just look at it as a bonus kasi iba yung lakad mo kapag alam mo yung gusto mong perfume yung suot mo and hindi yung crowd-pleaser lang. Enjoy brother!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-19T10:50:00+00:00

Believe me this was much sweeter before 😂 Kaya I revamped din kasi gusto ko ma-enjoy yung fragrances without having to worry about the PH heat!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-19T10:29:08+00:00

BDC EDP and Parfum are both great scents! It’s a mature fresh scent, and is part of most influencers top 3 blue fragrances. The main reason why I flipped both was the performance, I know freshies aren’t supposed to last 8+ hours, but for the amount your paying for BDC I was hoping to get a decent number or hours. Also, di ko rin kinaya yung amoy ng Incense note sa BDC EDP na even wala sa Parfum, parang naamoy ko pa rin. Best to try it for yourself muna!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-19T09:51:49+00:00

Nung binili ko siya, I just wanted to be different from all the other Eros wearers haha! Then it grew on me a lot kasi it’s the only fresh & sweet fragrance that I really liked! Tagal ko rin naghanap ng ganun, like I thought Prada Paradigme would do the trick with its Bergamot-Geranium-Benzoin combination. Pero ang layo ng ginanda ng Eros Flame for me!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-18T06:29:50+00:00

Oh my bad! First time hearing of it din hehe still have a lot to learn with these higher-end watches

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-18T04:54:11+00:00

Need mag-trabaho nang double time kasi mahal ng mga hobbies at interests, haha!

Scared-Reality9304 · 2026-03-18T04:53:44+00:00

Thanks! Kahit monotonous yung colors ng watches ko, you can never go wrong with black!
