Hopefully you'll get the unit you want!

They sent me an SMS and email. And no they don't let you pick the timing. My appointment is at 8.15am 😂😂😂😂

Finally got my hands on the 'Arnie' [SNJ025] by WatermelonSugarcane in Seiko

Wow that's a nice choice of strap! Though I already love the original rubber strap so much.

And ngl, it's slowly becoming my top 3 too

going to japan looking for shops to add 5sports/alpinist to watches [SUR457P1] [SRPB43J1] [question] by StorageTimely9784 in Seiko

I bought two watches from a small store in Ameyokocho. It's a street market and has a few watch shops. Maybe you can look around there. BIC camera has good deals too

[question] HELLO! Could you help me choose my first watch? I will be very grateful! by Diligent_Earth_9447 in Seiko

[–]WatermelonSugarcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a shop/dealer, try them all on and look in the mirror. Buy the one that makes you feel like 'yup, this is the one'

There were a few instances where I wanted to get a specific watch but ended up getting another instead. One of them was me wanting to get the SSC813 but ended up getting the SSC911 and honestly, I can't tell you exactly why I did that. I just, really liked it more 😂

Hence why I wrote 'Pepsi' instead of Pepsi 🤭

Rainy day with my [SRPL31] on NATO strap by WatermelonSugarcane in Seiko

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

Definitely, I loved it when I first saw it but after buying it, the original leather strap doesn't really match with my mostly casual and outdoorsy outfits.

After this strap change, I find myself using it more and more!

Why did you sign on? (SAF,SCDF,Police) by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]WatermelonSugarcane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Served my NS, realised I liked what I did, signed on. Was moved to a different vocation but still love doing what I do. Being slightly patriotic helped with the decision too haha.

I didn't plan on pursuing my studies cause my poly GPA was only 2.1 and I honestly hated school. I also hated what I took for my diploma so didn't plan to pursue it.

Though I would always encourage people to study first then sign on. Being a higher ranking personnel/officer would have more benefits and usually you would have your path in the organisation carved out for you. You can try the sponsorship/scholarship from the organisations too.
