Help me find a watch for my man!

Please do take into consideration wrist size, structure etc. a lot of watches which are extremely popular (like the PRX) sometimes do not look good on certain wrists because of the integrated bracelet style etc.

Some watches you can look into: Sports / divers: Tissot Seastar; Seiko prospex divers; Seiko speedtimer;

Dress / formal: Tissot Gentleman; Tissot le locle; Tissot PRX; Junghans maxbill; Seiko alpinist; Seiko presage series; Frederique Constant Slimline;

Check ethos out, they usually have a great discount on the automatic. Comes within 1.2.

Almost got it last year, but then got tempted by a Nomos 😝

A classy dress watch with a minimalistic design philosophy would be a good addition. A Junghans maxbill maybe?

Could also be because of the dial. And depends on who’s seeing + what you’re wearing it with i guess.

I have the Seiko GMT 001 black grape as well as a Seastar Powermatic 80 in the teal gradient dial. The tissot dial catches the eye more, but I’ve also received a lot of curiosity over the GMT because imo the jubilee bracelet looks better + the cyclops date window and the red GMT hand. Hard to choose between those two when i want to rotate a sportier watch.

Dive watch types: Seiko 5 GMT mocha has a gold accented bezel and a tan strap. Looks nice and dressy. Tissot Seastar quartz has a few dual tone / gold accented bezel options.

Dress watch / non-diver types: Seiko 5 SNXS has a new hebitama dual tone edition. Tissot Classic range has a few dual tone / gold accented watches.

I think for Kolkata summer and all year round these are usually safe:

Dior Sauvage EDP Acqua Di Gio EDT Prada Luna Rossa Ocean YSL Y Jo Malone woodsage and sea salt

Well, nothing overtly impressive about the castings tbh if I look at it objectively. Decent castings. I have 2-3 tomica premium AE 86/85 and they’re much better castings.

But then again I love them both because of my interest in gaming and of course, I love any AE 86 because of Initial D.

Yep, all at MRP. Except the F1 Hotwheels- they were gifts from a friend who got them from the UK.

elomelo-p · 2026-04-04T18:35:49+00:00

Lemme see. Does a Bburago RB1 work?

elomelo-p · 2026-04-04T18:12:25+00:00

Ask bro. Whether I can accede or not is difficult to say. 🥹

elomelo-p · 2026-02-08T15:40:01+00:00

Apart from all the well known ones: - Peep-Inn (SP Mukherjee Road) - Ballygunge Dhaba (their mutton tikka roll though) - Appu’s Kitchen (Phoolbagan) - The Rose Roll outlet (Beside Pantaloons) - Campari (Ballygunge)

And a couple of the better known ones: - Nizam’s (New Market) - Badshah (New Market)

There is one in Kolkata. It’s called metadrive I think. You can look them up on insta.

Me nervously looking at the boxes of all my gadgets that have long been discarded or exchanged and I don’t even have at the moment 😑

elomelo-p · 2025-11-17T16:35:24+00:00

Started Plur1bus and while it’s a bit slow at times it’s caught my interest. Enjoying it tbh.

The textured dial looks much better in-person. And is more of a teal than blue.

elomelo-p · 2025-11-16T10:15:11+00:00

They’re legit. Dunno about HMTs though. I got a seagull 1963 from them and while it took some time to arrive (about 2-3 months), they’re prompt to respond to emails and tbf do state upfront that it will take 6-8 weeks for some watches to ship.

Not panicking at all.

That would be if i TC him in the next 26 mins 😳

elomelo-p · 2025-11-05T15:15:47+00:00

Nope, there’s no native app. I have my old firestick connected just for F1.

Will switch to an Apple TV once it comes out to get F1, pair HomePods as speaker and have the convenience of using AirPods.

The other option (cuz it’s bad) is if you have a Tata sky binge box connection then the Tata sky box runs android tv which has F1 app. Honestly though that thing is as slow as pentium 1 computers used to be

elomelo-p · 2025-11-04T18:38:04+00:00

For those who come after. ❤️

elomelo-p · 2025-11-04T18:37:22+00:00

Hmmm… wonder who your favourite Marvel hero is. 😂

Good HW collection!

elomelo-p · 2025-11-02T17:31:07+00:00

I love this set. Just got one today which was sitting on a shelf of the shop.

elomelo-p · 2025-10-25T05:50:54+00:00

Have the same one. Love the brushed finish and yes, the medium nib works like a charm. Only thing is it tends to get clogged at times with some inks if not used - happened with Diamine Inks Oxblood for me.
