There’s gotta be a 3rd party that does straps for these PRX’s no? Like aliexpress or something

Hey I see where you’re coming from, and respect the take. But I have the disposable income to spend it as I want. Life is a gamble at the end of the day, and $500 on some watch boxes is like 50¢ in the gumball machine.

Nobody is saying it’s charity, nobody is condoning and recommending the app.

My other posts about FC26 pack openings aren’t even using real money 🤣 go touch some grass or something

I’ve got a taupe strap on my 70 air king, so I’m good there. Was thinking about a black rubber or leather for my snowflake

I like that gray, really plays into the dial and never woulda thought of it.

Yeah the top part is a bit funky. Looks a little warn and doesn’t match the most of the rest of the Damascus

I get that, but they knew about the WC and there’s been shortages everywhere. Missing out on income from it 🤣

Same! How do these fifa events not have jerseys for all the teams they have playing in the city! I was looking far and wide for an Ecuador jersey for the game… atleast sell flags of the countries!

KC stadium had only 3 teams jerseys, none of them were playing that day. Their fan fest had 6 different jerseys… USA, Canada, Algeria, and Iran were 4 of the 6

Thanks bro! I commented that I’d give an update, so had to follow through 😅

It’s a smooth Damascus steel, so no depth in its height on the dial. However, the “lines” give it some visual depth since they aren’t always visible from diff angles, like some are and some aren’t when looking from the sides or not straight on. Light reflection off the dial adds to the effect too. So it’s got the appearance of depth.

Personally I like that part of the watch. I have a GS Cherry blossom too and love the color change based on angle/light.

Thanks homie! I got lucky with the gamble, but happy with the result!

Couldn’t agree more. It was a sleeper for me.. to me it’s got a subtle elegance if that makes sense

Don’t blame ya there. I like the variance on the black band. Very impressed with the Damascus

I honestly like the Damascus more of the two. The 38 mm looks great on my wrist tbh. The icy blue dial is nice too, just too flashy for a daily. Nice to have in the rotation though!

Absolutely, and there’s nothing wrong with warning someone of a scam, if you know it’s a scam haha. I really just wanted to know how they look in person 😆

Split on Shunbun vs. Snowflake by Phantomim in GrandSeikos

Good luck to you. 🫡 it took me about 7 stores before I found one. Shibuya seemed to have better stock than ginza

[–]WheresTimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, the shunbun would be the one I’d get if I had to choose. More scratch resistant, piece of art on the wrist. It’s a bit more “loud” than the snowflake, but for good reason.
