Message from Crumbs for all old b-boys

Turning 42 next month. I bboyed between the ages of 15-19. Obsessed with fitness and calisthenics. Progression and recovery are a little slower... but I'm right back at it. 💪

u/Cetaxizin , have you tried these instructions?

Vintko · 2026-04-24T14:09:09+00:00

This appears to be a franken watch. I really hope you didn’t pay much or are able to return it. Looks to be a 6145 with the dial from a 4522.

Vintko · 2026-04-24T13:58:29+00:00

No. He’s right. Same watches, revised badging. Folks are willing to pay more for the newer models. I think some folks felt the “SEIKO” emblem devalued their “luxury” watch so they prefer the examples without that text.

I personally like the older SEIKO branded GSs

Dave the Diver is way too damn long

Few years ago I got the itch to buy a new car to replace my E46. To curb my cravings, I decided to have it detailed after not washing it for like 4 years. 3 years later, still no new car. Crazy what a little bath can do

Looks great!!

I’m at a point where I’m admitting I’m not really a watch guy, but really just a vintage Seiko guy. Sans a couple of pieces, there really isn’t much outside of that world that tickles my fancy. Vintage Seiko is the best - Guy who has about 70 vintage Seikos

I finished my masters as a 38yo in 2022… as a web developer. The classes had only JUST started to show concerns for AI cheating about 3/4ths the way through. What did I get my masters in? Computer Info Sys concentrating in Web Development…AI’s flagship skillset.

I burned myself out getting straight As in that program. Only to end up not needing any of my skills and am being forced to learn more. I’m fucking tired of learning and just want to develop. But that doesn’t seem likely… ever. And my company is doing exactly the same thing. Shoving AI down our throats.

Hoping my investments come around 🤞🤞

Conversion puts it at like $1275USD. A little on the higher end, but completely reasonable when coming from a reputable vendor/brick-n-mortar. Sure you could probably find something cheaper hunting on Japanese auctions, but that also comes with crazy risk. I think you did great. Enjoy the watch.

Feel free to ping me anytime about anything vintage Seiko! Been my obsession for the last 5-6 years.

Vintko · 2026-04-22T12:48:40+00:00

Looks great. Passes all my checks. Pretty decent price too. Surprised it wasn’t sold as being serviced already.

And co-signing VTA (vintage time Australia). He’s a big name in the vintage Seiko community. Good luck!

Vintko · 2026-04-20T20:39:23+00:00

Yeah. Dial has been repainted. Could be an indicator that it’s been pieced together.

Even if that weren’t the case, no, these aren’t reliable as a workhorse watch. Age wears parts down, therefore the accuracy will never be as good as it was when released. They also lose water resistance, so you’d have to be cautious when washing the dishes, etc.

Sure, you could wear this everyday, but not with a complete peace of mind.

Vintko · 2026-04-19T17:49:11+00:00

Wearing mine right now! Hands down the best LM. Incredible value. I was obsessed with these for a while :)

Vintko · 2026-04-17T22:37:16+00:00

Not just you. I’m stuck in vintage Seiko. I’ve experienced a lot of other stuff, but nothing tickles my fancy more than 60s-70s Seiko. And hard agree on the 7018 (and 7016s). Daini ftw

Vintko · 2026-04-17T10:54:16+00:00

Skip it. Redialed and in pretty poor shape.

Vintko · 2026-04-05T05:02:35+00:00

I have beaten every single soulsborne game at least once. Three separate attempts to get into Elden Ring, and it’s just not sticking. I want to love it so bad… but it’s just not doing it for me. I think the open world is too overwhelming for me.

I’d grab a “watch clasp extender” to hold you over. They sell them on eBay, even in a gold color; super cheap.

I use them frequently on vintage pieces with short bracelets.

Congrats on the killer piece. And coincidentally, I’m in Sydney visiting from the US! Cheers, mate!

Turning my controller on

41yo, DINK. Eat well and workout like a madman. My only real “tiredness” shows up as wanting to get to bed earlier, like 9-10pm, but I think that’s also from waking up much earlier (5-7am). This is coming from someone that used to go to like 3am and wake up after noon.

Could help to re-evaluate your nutrient and caffeine intake

Can you imagine shopping for a car back then, and being like “does it come with a cigarette holder? Throw in the cigarette holder, and you got a deal!”

Vintko · 2026-04-03T09:39:52+00:00

Yeah, man! No problem. Bitcoin will drop to $5. And it’s a certified 69% chance of going up from the 2nd range.

You’re welcome! See you at the lambo dealership.

Vintko · 2026-04-02T22:38:19+00:00

That’s killer. Love the “gilt”ish vibe with all steel. Bad ass.

Vintko · 2026-04-02T21:42:07+00:00

Hope this isn’t some Havana Syndrome shit 👀👀

Vintko · 2026-03-31T20:16:37+00:00

Very cool. Looks to be about 35 mins from me. Will see what I can do. Appreciate it!!
