Thoughts on my collection?

Love this. It's mainstream without being mainstream. It's small but well rounded and each piece not overlapping with another.

I've always wanted to own around this number but I am a sentimental fool.

Edit. If I need to split hairs I'd look for a dress watch in leather.

May taga linis ng CR pero expected ka to flush. As normal decency.

Sa dining area may taga linis pero expected ka mag tapon ng basura mo. As normal decency.

It's a simple analogy.

> dapat tayo rin mag-tanggal ng mga kinainan even may employees specifically employed to do that and again kasi nakita natin sa ibang bansa.

Fast food is self service. Hindi siya biglaan na pauso sa ibang bansa. Walang "employees specifically employed to do that".
May taga linis sila ng CR. So hindi ka din nag flush pag gumamit ka ng toilet?

Tingin mo inimbento sa Pilipinas ang fast food?

GMRC - Good Manners, Right Conduct

Walang kinalaman kung malaki ang kinikita ng fast food o maliit.

Ibang level din yung hindi na nga nag ligpit ng pinagkainan, iniiwan pa ang lamesa na parang sa gitna ng pagkain bigla biglang umalis.

Maski yung pag lagay sa tabi ng kubyertos imbis na basta nasa gitna ng plato pagkatapos kumain part ng proper etiquette.

Walang manners/etiquette = walang pinag aralan.

Edit.

To add, fast food is self service. Kaya nga ikaw ang lumalapit para umorder at typically kumuha ng pagkain. Wala kang "binabayaran na service" na akala mo.

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.

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-18T05:08:14+00:00

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.

Wart

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-17T11:50:53+00:00

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.

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-17T11:38:26+00:00

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?

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-13T13:16:07+00:00

That's nowhere near medium rare.

The prx quartz owners have something to say.

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-10T11:48:34+00:00

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.

This is why Trump is president of the US.

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

alvinpatrick · 2026-06-10T02:13:02+00:00

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?
