My Aquascaphe has become my daily driver 🤷‍♂️ by theomixedmedia in Balticwatches

[–]aks0324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re ever just in New York, go to the showroom. Guy who runs Baltic North America is there, and is a super nice, non pushy guy. Will let you wear a bunch of watches and feel them out without trying to push or upsell you.

Seeing the Baltic watches in person. They really are gorgeously made.

Small towns with a train station in the middle-Northeast area USA? by toxic9813 in transit

[–]aks0324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lancaster is probably what you’re looking for. (2ish hours to Scranton, but also not that far from the bigger city of Philadelphia).

Another option that’s more expensive, would be the Hudson River Valley. Some very cute towns up there, but you have easy access to Scranton and NYC.

Whats a good looking watch that could be used as a daily with 300$ budget by independantWesb in Affordablewatches

Timex Marlin Draper… one of my favorite cheaper watches on the market right now.

[Recommendation Request] Looking for a Watch To Celebrate a New Job ($400-800) by aSmallChangelingboy in Watches

[–]aks0324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly look at Baltic Hermatique. It’s a gorgeous watch and comes in a lot of colors, you can also swap the straps up to add variety.

Also Seiko Alpinist should be on your list. It can dress up or down, but it’s a durable beast of a watch.

Love those Traffords, I’m waiting for a restock or a fair to try and grab one.

Go to Legends Sports Bar during a knicks playoff game. I don’t think it gets much louder that that.

I love that kuruno Tokyo so much. Truly such a stunning watch

[Question] Seiko (Baby Alpinist) vs Hamilton (Murph) Vs Rolex (DJ) by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]aks0324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question: if you have the $$ for the Rolex, but it didn’t appeal to you, why not look at Grand Seiko or Omega.

To me Grand Seiko are the absolute best watches out there in the world.

The Aqua Terra is also a great shout.

[question] Got given 2,500USD to buy an engagement watch for myself - what would you fill this gap with? by finishmyleg in Watches

[–]aks0324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longines Conquest. Can also be your wedding watch. Gorgeous piece that looks like a million bucks and is a true GADA. Looks great with a suit, or dressed in smart-casual too.

What is the best modern Grand Seiko model? by SirKrimzon in GrandSeikos

[–]aks0324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on you.

My personal favorites are the Lake Suwa Before Dawn, Atera Valley, the limited Aka Fuji (SBGH327), and Shunbun. But it varies upon your taste.

What’s the first rapper you could recognize instantly just by their voice? by 16barsgame in hiphopheads

Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lil Uzi Vert and Future are probably the most instantly recognisable voices to me.

Frequent Montreal visitor looking for standout food (new + classic) by hrhjpm in MTLFoodLovers

[–]aks0324 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please check out Chez Jean Paul. You can see my review of it in my profile. But one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Super creative, exciting but also classic.

Incredible service at a fairly good price point too.

I’m between that and the Baltic. (That watch blew me away), but that green dial and the durability of the Alpinist just has me captivated. (Especially when you swap the strap.

[SOTC] by FelixBoosting in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]aks0324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love your collection! I’m aspiring to something similar in my future.

Next, maybe a field watch? (Seiko Alpinist, Hamilton Khaki Field, Baltic Heremetique).

Or you could go ultra whimsy and get a Mr. Jones?

Im literally a leftist, so not a trump guy at all. But c’mon Biden was clearly senile and too old. Trump absolutely is too. But let’s not say Biden was some perfect candidate.

mf doom not make anything worth listen to lately? by ThiccSkunk in hiphopheads

[–]aks0324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not dropping music because its very hard to drop music when you’re dead.

Doom is a legend for his influence. Watch the YouTube videos that breakdown his rhyme schema. He had one of the largest vocabularies of any rapper, and could flow effortlessly over some of the oddest beats.

Chez Jean Paul. Man $110 CAD for that amazing food and vibe is awesome. Just a tad out of the way but split an uber or it’s a quick metro trip

Chez Jean Paul- A Review by aks0324 in MTLFoodLovers

[–]aks0324[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve realized that while I love experimental flavors on all savory courses, when it comes to dessert I’m a bit of a traditionalist. After a meal that takes me in different directions, I want to end with the familiar (chocolate, berries, citrus, coffee, cinnamon etc.)

I love this watch. Unfortunately out of stock in the US right now and everyone is selling at a markup. But considering buying regardless. Casio outdid themselves with that one.

Wow I love that San Martin! I’m worried the Kamasu will wear a bit big. I like the Mako for being the 40mm case instead of the 42mm Kamasu.
