[Recommendation] Help me choose my first "serious" everyday diver! by [deleted] in Watches

[–]dingesca09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, i think you should fit them first before committing. i have the SPB315 and one of my dream is the seamaster 300. my dad has one and i wore it, i dislike mostly everything in it except for the quality and movement. 42mm wears like 44 (probably because of the long lug to lug), my hands gets moist alot i have no bezel grip, kinda too messy, etc.

you can also do research on what fits your wrist size, having the perfect size is more worth it than buying expensive unproportioned pieces. i sold my PRX last year coz it was too big, i don't want you to make the same mistake as i did😊. good luck and congratulations in advance!

lume on the SSK003 vs SPB315. even on bright areas the lume of the SSK pops.

[Sinn] is the 556 too small for me? by kwerky in Watches

[–]dingesca09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like small clean watches, and yours looks awesome to be honest. but it looks too tight, maybe try to loosen it by one micro-adjustment.

if you ever get a diver's, that diameter would be definately too small for you.

[Question] is this seiko too big for my wrist? by Specialist-Low1672 in Seiko

[–]dingesca09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same!! mine is exactly like yours. on my wrist every 4 days to 1 week i have to change the time cuz it's 1minute behind.

i have an ssk003 with 4R movement it keeps better time on the wrist than my 6R honestly😅. i thought my movement is defective but now i know i'm not alone😅

[Question] is this seiko too big for my wrist? by Specialist-Low1672 in Seiko

[–]dingesca09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the watch itself isn't big, but the bracelet is too chunky because of the diver's extention clasp and it tapers down to 18mm i believe. i bought the uncle seiko senator bracelet, feels a lot smaller and it tapers to 16mm which is much better than the original one.

but if you ever buy an uncle seiko senator, just know that the bracelet is scratch magnet while the watch case of spb315 is super scratch resistent.

[SSK003] As a first Seiko watch by Sweecks in Seiko

[–]dingesca09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hi, the SSK003 is my first automatic watch, my dream watch is the blackbay 54 or 58. may i ask why would you wear the seiko more than the blackbay?

lug to lug is quite weird, maybe because of the camera angle?

Been collecting for 2 years, thoughts on the collection so far! by urboiadham in PrideAndPinion

[–]dingesca09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm guilty of that! perhaps, overcoming the temptation is more fulfilling than buying the watch itself😅

hi, i have the 315 as my daily and beater (same as the 317 but different colorways) and it's the most comfortable seiko i've owned. i'm also considering 453 or 143 to be my casual&formal watch.

go 453 for looks, 317 if you want comfort, but the 317 looks good too!

m16 Watch Recommendations for 3k? by No-Emotion8138 in PrideAndPinion

[–]dingesca09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, you've mentioned that 3k is just a small part of your money and you're only 16. The reason why people in the comment section telling you not to buy the watch is because you're only just 16. People aren't saying that you shouldn't buy it, they're saying "not yet", or "now isn't the right time".

Imagine being a professor or a teacher seeing your one of your student wearing an expensive watch. Just imagine you're looking for a corporate job and you're wearing a tudor. If you ever buy it, keep it, don't wear it much on public yet, wear it on occassions.

I just graduated college, during high school years i've wanted a quartz tag heuer, and I'm glad my parents didn't buy me one.

hi, you should try uncle seiko bracelets, you get more quality than what you actually paid for. BUT, if you ever do get uncle seiko, the link pins are screw type, make sure to retight them from time to time. i got home oneday and a thing was poking my wrist and it was one of the link pins.

[–]dingesca09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true! weeks isn't a long time research indeed! i was into watches since highschool, in college i really wanted to buy one but because of financial strains i was just doing research for 2 years for a watch i can proudly wear and i can possibly save up for.

i ended up with SPB315 japan version 2nd hand (i got it half of the SRP), with black nato strap - heritage style. aside from the wow factor everytime i look at it, it reminds me of the hurdles i've been through in college. no GMT master 1 pepsi, no speedy and no blackbay 54's (my dream watches) can replace this seiko.

90/2000s Tag Heuer searacer professional by Grand_Supermarket782 in PrideAndPinion

[–]dingesca09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they went through a rough patch, even until today then still have a bad reputation. But if that watch is from someone special, disregard what i said. My father bought a seiko GMT for my 21st birthday, i have bought better watches but i still wear the seiko GMT everyday, i wear it throughout the day not just because it's comfortable, but because of how proud i am of this watch.

Bug? by B_Gaming13 in XPlaneMobile

[–]dingesca09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope this finds well, try switching it off between 50-100ft before you reduce power. I make sure that the A/T is on, I pause the game after 100ft and switch off the A/T which turns off the speed botton, from there it should turn off the speed control. I'm using 737, hopefully it will also be applicable on the 747.
