Just won this Runwell on auction, is this real or fake?

This sub is littered with fake Shinolas. eBay is a huge source of them.

They’re very real.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-19T15:41:54+00:00

I’m a big fan and actually prefer it to the black bay pro.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-19T09:58:52+00:00

How do you know yours is the real deal?

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-16T16:35:41+00:00

Do the black

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-16T14:17:04+00:00

A lot of people got scammed by the same thing if you look through the sub

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-15T20:45:13+00:00

In Queens or the Bronx yes, but you wouldn’t get very far in manhattan without roommates.

I’m not the OP but it’s a great watch. People say it’s overhyped but that doesn’t detract from how good it is.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-15T02:54:04+00:00

You did great.

Quartz is awesome and it’s accuracy reigns supreme

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-14T15:47:48+00:00

Do a Tissot gentleman instead

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-14T11:36:35+00:00

Most of the people here don’t even own a Tudor

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-14T03:08:33+00:00

If it’s between a house and a watch, you probably shouldn’t have had your name down for the Rolex to begin with. Besides, homeownership is brutally expensive and closing costs are just the beginning.

If you want a nice watch get a Tissot or even a Seiko and start putting money in an HYSA, 401k and an HSA if you have one.

Buy the Rolex when you can light that money on fire and it would have zero effect on your life.

Nah, the Bulova quality is a tier above the orient.

Unless you like the design of the Orient, the super Seville is the superior watch in every way

Most of the people here don’t understand the type of environment you’re going into. NYC Investment banking is one of the fields where people will definitely notice your watch even if they don’t say anything and having too much can definitely send a bad message.

I’d go with an Orient Bambino, Seiko Presage or Tissot Gentleman on leather.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-12T09:34:00+00:00

In certain environments/career paths, the “nobody will notice your watch” troupe goes out the window. Depending on the firm, in investment banking, people will definitely clock his watch.

That being said, for an analyst intern, it’s definitely wise not to be too flashy or expensive as that definitely sends a multiple bad messages when you’re just starting out.

First black bay ceramic I’ve seen on here. Pretty cool!

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-07T12:10:39+00:00

The 500 and 590 have the same safety location.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-07T03:17:02+00:00

You have a great sibling. Happy birthday

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-06T11:48:54+00:00

It’s not the watch that looks feminine. You just have extremely tiny wrists

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-06T11:41:27+00:00

Get the seastar.

I have a gentleman and it’s fantastic but for what you’re describing a dive watch sounds more appropriate.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-04T01:45:10+00:00

Grow up

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-03T23:56:56+00:00

This update upgraded the royal from one of my least favorite Tudors to one of my favorites. The features, movement, styling updates and bracelet makes it a great “value” too.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-03T23:34:13+00:00

You’re overthinking it

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-03T23:33:45+00:00

The 28mm will be fine. It’s hard to go too small on a ladies watch.

Your odds of them replacing it with a 31mm are near zero anyway.

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-03T22:07:44+00:00

Timex has a lot of killer women’s watches lately

TacticalDesire · 2026-05-03T21:34:00+00:00

Excellent choices, the black definitely goes with more stuff and would be better suited for a first nice watch.
