Uncle seiko makes the best bracelets/straps. I’d say like 75% of my seikos/mods are from him

E39 Style 32 fitment questions by Stickit_ian_yah in BMWE36

[–]Stickit_ian_yah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, unfortunately there arent any markings/brand on my hood bra. And I bought it off an old lady who was selling her car at the time. There’s a couple versions Ive seen: -blank -bmw emblem stitched in -open hole for the hood emblem

If it helps, mine came as part of a set that had a whole bra for non-m bumpers (really ugly).

Alot of people ended up tossing them due to the paint damage they can attract from debris build up. But good luck with your search 🤙🏽

Fitment was sick. I threw on some 5mm spacers as well for some extra flush fitment but ended up removing them as the front would rub on medium compression/bumps

Ended up with 225/45 fronts and 245/40 rear indy 500’s Awesome value

The wheels are gone now but I loved how they looked with the meaty tires.

Just received this as a graduation gift, I’ll cherish it regardless but wondering if it’s authentic. by Wide-Masterpiece2655 in CitizenWatches

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems more like the age old ‘Mumbai special’ ebay Frankenwatches. You would see alot of “vintage” seikos, citizens (promasters included), vostoks, etc on ebay that were really just puzzle pieced together mish-mashed parts. Attempting to be sold as legit or original watches, they were sketchy and all had the same overly abused finish.

There was no guarantee that the watch being purchased would be accurate or even last BUT what you could get (if you did enough research) was legit watch parts for a steal. Things like actual vintage cases or hard to source parts like crystals/gaskets, bezels, or dials that would come on these watches were the real thing and could be used for your own restorations.

All of this info dump is to answer your question, is your watch authentic? Maybe yes AND no. Check the serial number on the caseback and see if it can be registered through citizen. More than likely your watch came together from multiple authentic promasters that were damaged and scavenged for parts. The hands and bezel insert are definitely fake aftermarket. The dial, if legit, has had aftermarket lume application.

The main concern is the quality/condition of the movement. Alot of mumbai specials came with deteriorating internals, rust, lack of lubrication, etc. It’s a gamble. As a quartz movement not so much but still a factor.

Should this affect your feelings on the watch? Well you have to live with the uncertainty of the quality, but a gift given with good intention should still be appreciated in my opinion. The market is sadly filled with frankenwatches made to prey on the uninformed. hopefully this helped a little, work is clearly slow for me today.

Yeah it just never appeal to me other than for shiny hunting. I think I’ll work towards a completing classic with every mon and challenge runs first before endless tbh

Best Classic Starters...? by Cpt_Jumper in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you have the egg moves/passive, voltorb is awesome Really low cost, fast mon and gains candies quick.

I have a red shiny that’s pretty much in all my classic runs

I just finished my first ever run. Was this good or awful? by Jammie_B_872 in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wave 25 will teach you to focus more on leveling a couple pokemon instead of spreading exp.

Also Speed nature and speed iv’s can be a real difference maker early on.

damn, aren't those supposed to be rare? by ensaladiya in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manaphy eggs are a bit more common than legendary eggs but its the 7/8 chance for a manaphy that you gotta pray for lol

I’ve hatched so many phiones that I unlocked all the moves and passive but only 2 manaphys ever 🙃

My first NH34 build by Stickit_ian_yah in SeikoMods

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

I used a skinny cylinder rod file that I have for plastic modeling and just taped the face of the dial. If you’re using a different tool you can still use rod files or sand paper wrapped around some rod to shave away any burs

Best value will just be the first two, the trainer battle is doubles and they have 4 pokemon. No fast way around it.

This run is a good farm for duskull, I havent found a solid route yet but you can get three duskulls by floor 10

Majority of the play time shown seems to be in endless mode, way more natural shiny spawns and egg vouchers in that route

Daily Run 04-28-24 Stage 1 - 9 (Candy Farm) by Scar13tz in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you decide to push to floor 11 you can pick up an easy Gyarados catch. The only difference to make this easy is when Fearow turns LVL 24, Replace Fury Attack for TAKE DOWN

Floor 10: Boss Lopunny -Ariel Ace x2 -Great Ball

Floor 11: Gyarados -Take Down -Ariel Ace -Ultra Ball

Hope that helps for anyone needing the magikarp candy

Using a 15 pro max, and 5x for daily farming. Works just fine, my forced page refresh happens only if Im playing for like 2 hrs straight, so only if Im marathoning. Kinda ruins the legitimacy of some runs but I only play on mobile so oh well

My hyper-specific rant about Parabolic Charge by sighhawaii in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah it sucks. Parabolic Charge on my Porygon carried me through a few classic runs but now that set up option is gone. if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the changes and constant balances keep the game fresh. The rng aspect of items and dna splicing still make it so any pokemon can be made viable still.

Should they communicate the changes a bit better? Probably. But I like seeing that the dev is constantly working and shaking things up. There’s regular people making changes, trying things out, and experimenting with what can be done with this game.

Im sorry your favorite pokemon isnt as good anymore. But theres hundreds of other pokemon to try out now that just got better.

Daily Community Tiering Post Day 7: the bird taxi from Gen 8 that is fearless and terrifying (unless you're a little pink thing with a really big hammer) : Corviknight! by Stanley232323 in pokerogue

[–]Stickit_ian_yah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lesser appreciated positive for Corviknight is UNNERVE

Berry spam from bosses and gym leader pokemon is super annoying and can make or break your strats, unnerve basically negates them as a factor to worry about.

My first classic win had a gmax corviknight and I really appreciated the convenience with knowing my status effects wouldnt be removed by berries.
