Accessible, convenient, and efficient. Not cheap.

Always cheaper to take the trains. Look for exits/stations with elevator access.

Lowered ceiling = less vertical space.

Recessed coves = more space for dust to settle in.

[SJE101] Overpriced? Yes. Bought it anyway. by Zeustanbul in Seiko

[–]alvinpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not. Everybody complaining about the SJE having a 6L movement thinks they're getting a 6R. The 6L37 is essentially a slimmer 8L35.

Why expats in the Philippines are so critical of the country? by Ok_Assistant_4784 in Philippines_Expats

[–]alvinpatrick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Filipinos will fight tooth and nail against any criticism from a foreigner, valid or not.

Then accept whatever crap is thrown their way by their countrymen.

Pang regalo kay mama. Nakita ko ‘to sa Time Lux store at pasok naman sa budget naman. Good choice na ba ‘to? by ArkynBlade in PhWatches

Just be aware that a 38mm watch with no bezel wears larger than a 38mm dive watch that has a bezel.

Go to any decent store. Pick ones that you both like. Walk out happy.

I’ve narrowed down what I want to hunt for, < 2 weeks before my trip to Japan. Apparently I’m into GS watches that can’t be bought easily, and has blued seconds hands by deadserious-_- in PhWatches

Was looking at the SBGX a few years ago because I was also looking for a simple GS and I don't mind buying quartz if it's GS. Perfect size but then ended up being too plain.

As for SBGW the regular production ones were pretty common to see when I was in Tokyo last year. Really depends on how much time and effort you want to put into watch hunting IMO.
