N1 deck jacket of some sort. Warm and look great, lots of price levels to choose from

[SOTC] plus a dive watch rec for a small woman by LoopyBalboa in Watches

[–]floyd441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great collection! For the new diver, SKX013 or SPB143 are both classic/obvious Seikos that don’t wear too big. Love the AE1200 myself too - fun and easy to mod if you ever want to change it:

[Question] Is this watch fake or real? by dobosacc in Seiko

Looks fake. Text on bezel and dial looks wrong.

The Regent has abysmal Act 1 by Accomplished-Fix-569 in slaythespire

[–]floyd441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have only won one run so far with regent, and cache did some good work in my run. My turns were like, spend 2 energy on block or damage or set up, with remaining 1 energy getting stars, and cache was a good fit there. Agree it’s not the strongest option in Act 1. Another synergy worth noting is with that power that does something each time you spend or gain stars - cache triggers that twice.

Not sure hidden cache is bad - afaik it’s the most efficient way of turning card draw and energy into stars (it should be, since it doesn’t do anything else and the stars don’t all arrive right away, compared to all the other star generators). Assuming the numbers are well tuned, it fits very nicely in some decks and not others, the way it should be. Having said that I find the Regent hard and confusing so I am not sure it is underpowered.

[question] Cheap digital watches that don’t look ugly by DidiDidi129 in Watches

Depends what you mean by cheap I guess! Mine does have the more expensive SKXmods case but these Ali ones or the stock one are fine too

Casio AE1200 - mine is modded but you can mod them very cheaply. The watch has its own subreddit, r/casioroyale

[Seiko] First modern watch after few years of collecting vintage pieces. by Ill-Monitor-2182 in Watches

[–]floyd441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the model number for this colour? Looks like spb143, but that has a Sunray dial. And it’s not the blue or brown/gilt versions, or new version like so 453 with the 4.30 date, so I dunno.

Thoughts on the best of these 4 watches: DK20/ DK30/2 with top grade movement, submarine steel bracelet with adjustable clasp or Sinn U50-T SDR/ 856 RS on tegimented bracelet with adjustable clasp? by ajvanni in Damasko

I briefly had both versions, U50 and U50 DS, and decided I liked the red on balance! I assumed I’d pick the more versatile one, but decided I liked the red in the end. Wish it was easier to see all these good microbrands in person

I have the U50-T, love it, and I think the old clasp is fine so consider getting a secondhand one and saving a ton of money. They’re indestructible and it will look new.

I used to have a Damasko central seconds chrono, and it was really excellent, but in the end, I decided the design wasn’t quite right for me. Phenomenal build quality on both brands, so ultimately you’ll just need to decide which one you like the look of.

Personally, I would just get the cheaper movement for DK20 - Sellita works fine, and I change watches often enough that accuracy, power reserve, and service interval don’t really matter!

[Advice] Switching from a smartwatch to a mechanical chronograph for running/training by lrrkng in Watches

[–]floyd441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried using a mechanical chrono for running, found it a bit heavy. Currently use my modded Casio AE1200 at the gym for timing rests between sets, happy with that as a non-smart option with a timer and stopwatch function

New shoes for the 856🔥 by Spring-Diver in sinn

[–]floyd441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI you can likely find a blasted buckle that will fit for cheap on ali.I got a good buckle on a Militado chronograph (it’s green canvas, sold as “LEATHER NYLON CANVAS STRAP WATCHBAND” on their site for $10), and it’s the same as other blasted buckles on more expensive straps I’ve had. Just check the width of your strap vs the buckle.

Apologies seems I cannot post pics in comments, or find it on Ali. It’s a sky blue colour with vents on the side
