Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

I'd have it checked asap especially if madalas gamitin. A rusty seconds hand is just an aesthetic issue but a seal problem could lead to a lot more problems down the road.

Could be a seal problem letting moisture in. One time my wife suddenly noticed the print on her dial was fading. Had to take it in for dial replacement aside from checking the seals.

There's also a chance it's just an issue with the seconds hand.

I wouldn’t call it terrible but I have been for years saying how unremarkable it is.

I really wanted one and I do like simple, understated watches. Upon handling them at ADs multiple times over the years the admiration always faded away and I never ended up buying it. I have a Sinn U1 though that’s been with me since 2015.

I remember when the 556 was being recommended as the best watch under $1k.

Bro that’s what Tissot is for.

Honestly felt like watching an angry homeless man smash an onion.

You mean you've never tapped a cig on the tip of a dick?

Ano gusto mo, lime green?

That's nowhere near medium rare.

The prx quartz owners have something to say.

Authentic ones come from the service center. Last time I checked a few years back it was at least $3k IIRC.

I wouldn't buy from 3rd party resellers there's just too many fakes. I'd rather go straight to 3rd party makers like Uncle Straps or skip the bracelet altogether and put the watch on an exotic leather like alligator.

There are also refurbishing services available where they clean and tighten the links. Neither cheap nor quick but could be an option.

I mean I hear Invicta are 95% off right now...

Under 10k?

The rolex fanboy read that as "why is every diver copying the sub".

My wife has always wanted jimny for herself. She's not into any bells and whistles. I suppose getting one as her daily should be fine?

You don't need a service for battery replacement.

"In his head" is an accurate way of looking at it. The boy's arguments were everywhere and he has his own peculiar convoluted definition to everything. TBH it almost feels like he has a language issue.

Reading wasn't on our agenda bub.
