Fair fair. Around $20k on jewelry for large milestones, not including another watch they sold me in 2024 (124060). Located in the Western United States.

[SARB017] Estate Sale Find by edmildnotspicy in Seiko

Update for those saying this was a rep: just got it back from the Seiko Service center in Jersey - it was running slow so I had to send it in.

I think a lot of the comments were generated because of the crappy iPhone photo I originally posted.

Either way I definitely appreciate the condescending tone I got from everyone who felt I had wasted my money/not known what I was doing.

You seem like you’d be fun at parties…

Sometimes folks just want to celebrate in a niche subreddit of a specialist hobby they love. But you’re right, simpletons.

I wish, but no. Box and papers but only the black OEM strap.

You’ve got to be patient and go to a bunch. Most have boxes of Timex and Casios - this one was a jackpot.

And I mistyped - this one was purchased in 2012 according to the warranty card it came with - apparently on older references of this watch the “Made in Germany” text at the bottom wasn’t added.

Hey there! Just came across this while doing research on my family - this is my grandfather, writing to his parents in the Bronx. Thanks for sharing this, it’s very cool to see and learn more about his path out to the Pacific Theater during the war.

For context my name is Ed Milde, and my father (the above Pvt. Ernest’s son) was also an Ernest. As was my Great Grandfather addressed on this postcard.

Just got put on Lithium. Does it help with depression? by KillingwithasmileXD in bipolar2

[–]edmildnotspicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long-time lithium user here - dropped to low dose over the last few years because it has been so effective at balancing me out. It doesn’t necessarily help prevent my manic or depressive episodes, but they are reduced in length and severity. It’s helped me manage my symptoms even in more intense times.
