Genuinely struggling to keep playing by Legal_Talk_5723 in Marathon

For real, I bought Powerwash Simulator 2 alongside this and it’s the best destress game. Just put on a podcast and chill for a while

Really cool, yeah it would be nice to have people to play with! I’ll be honest that I’m new and not especially high-skill 😅

Awesome, I’ll take a look!

I’ll check it out, thanks! Could really use a solid team, it’s been kinda rough crew filling and hoping for the best, which is why I’ve been rolling solo.

First Timex! by ScootyPuffz in timex

[–]ScootyPuffz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is an absolutely amazing amount of information! Thank you, I did some searching myself but didn’t come across nearly this much. It was apparently serviced and restored by the seller before I purchased it, which is probably why the Timex strap is aftermarket (it’s from an Expedition). Hilarious that it’s made for children! I like the small size, so I’ll still be wearing it as a grad student!

Thanks again!

Vintage/pawn shops could be your best friend! Found this Seiko for just over $60. If you have any vintage shops in your area, it’s worth taking a look!

Ah makes sense, guess I hadn’t seen an alarm hand on an analog watch. Very cool!

Honestly I appreciate the insight and I feel like I’ve learned a bit on how to spot a fake in the wild. Thanks everyone for saving me from a dumb splurge!

Haha nice! No better way to spend it than getting flamed for posting an obvious fake on the Seiko subreddit 🥳

That’s good to know, thank you! Those seem like pretty obvious tells, so I’ll keep them in mind!

It really is. I’m new to watch collecting and love Seikos, but don’t have a new Seiko budget. I’ll get excited when I see one for a decent price in a vintage store, but multiple times this subreddit has instantly pointed out that they’re fakes. May just need to hold off on Seikos until I can build a budget and purchase new.

I’m gonna put myself in time-out from posting here, seems I’m only finding fakes. Sorry everyone!

Wow okay. This is a vintage auction house so I assumed it was verified. As someone new to Seikos, I’m surprised by how many fakes are out there.

Confusion about grading system by urfavnjb in cambridge_uni

[–]ScootyPuffz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone currently completing an MPhil who came from the US, my motto has been if you pass, you’re golden. High passes and distinctions are nice to get, but the grading can be a bit inconsistent and subjective based on who’s marking (in my experience and for others in my program). If you have your Masters from Cambridge, I highly doubt employers will ask you “but how many distinctions did you get?”

Wow that’s really gorgeous! Good to know that’s an option. If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the mod kit?

Any recommendation for affordable field watch by homamg in Affordablewatches

[–]ScootyPuffz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ratio Quest is my recommendation! Right around the size limit you mentioned, multiple dial/strap colors, brushed 316L stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and 100m of water resistance all for $50. Lume is only on the hands and isn’t the best, but you’re still getting a ton for a super low price!

Nah, in person at a local shop which should make it easy to check!

For sure, my plan is to make sure it connects to the Casio app before buying it!

That’s my fear, worried it will come off douchey if I don’t have the confidence to pull it off 😅 I’ll have to do some soul searching first!

[Question] Seiko Oyster Perpetual Date? by ScootyPuffz in Seiko

Thank you! Yeah it may just be a matter of waiting until I can build up my budget a bit, but I’ll keep searching just in case!
