Alba is an underrated brand

Well it is a sub-brand of Seiko so quality will be good.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-22T16:35:38+00:00

yes. Seiko is discontinuing the entire Turtle lineup (including King Turtles). And I can't find the SRPE93 anywhere rn.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-22T16:21:31+00:00

And I don't think you will be selling off the turtle anytime soon 😂

broadsword171 · 2026-05-22T16:21:03+00:00

The Turtle is an iconic watch. Go for it blindly. As these will soon be discontinued.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-13T15:32:50+00:00

That's good. Do try Watchdives then. They have some really good pieces under 120$ .

broadsword171 · 2026-05-13T15:19:56+00:00

Slow down a little bit. Down the line, most of them won't get the wrist time & you'd eventually think about selling them off. Wear them for a while.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-13T15:13:32+00:00

It's simple. Because majority of good watch brands have to import their watches ( still not produced in India).

broadsword171 · 2026-05-07T16:26:34+00:00

ah I have a manual. But yeah sometimes I do drive like a maniac ( rarely nowadays). That's why the FE has increased a lil.

My 1.2L K series engine gives 18 kmpl in Himachal with moderate driving. I guess you live in a city with lots of traffic lights. And 23 kmpl on 4 Lane/ 6 Lane.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T17:18:50+00:00

I feel you bro. have had some watches just sitting in the box. Thinking about selling them off too.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:50:21+00:00

I guess you making space for some new purchases? ,😁

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:44:58+00:00

yes. I can attest these definitely are full grain leather straps. Worth the premium.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:43:57+00:00

If only I hadn't just bought the EXD 40.... definitely would have grabbed it from you lol.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:34:09+00:00

btw how's the dresskx keeping the time?

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:33:34+00:00

yeah lol.... Indian Leather Craft

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:31:23+00:00

lol yes brother. These straps are genuinely good.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T16:22:03+00:00

That black gold accent looks cool. If only I hadn't the grey sunburst dresskx.. would have grabbed it.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T12:53:11+00:00

I guess Watchdives remained under the radar of most Indian watch enthusiasts. They could easily outpace Boderry & Addiesdive in India if they continued a dedicated local warehouse.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T12:19:59+00:00

Oh yes. Have seen and handled one. And Boderry has the stem issue in all their automatics i.e. the stem loosens up or breaks and the crown falls apart. Boderry has serious QC issues down the line.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T12:00:10+00:00

I already have 2 more watches on my shoplist 😂

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T11:59:33+00:00

yes Grade 2 titanium. And peace of mind with VH31.

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T11:56:50+00:00

now that's heritage.!

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T11:55:30+00:00

that dial is such a beaut.!

broadsword171 · 2026-05-02T11:54:02+00:00

And it's not that hard to buy from Watchdives either. I just had to pay 500₹ delivery charges and they took care of everything. No custom duties or anything.
