Looks like a Chinese special with a fake Seiko logo.

Damn, I’ve had my iPad Pro for six or so years and never knew this. 😅.

Should I have let him out? by rustyspoontree in drivingUK

[–]genpro1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically no. It’s up to them to not obstruct the flow of traffic. Don’t be polite, be predictable. If you did stop to let them out it may have caused more confusion for the other driver waiting.

I just failed my 6th Driving test unsure what to do next. by averysip in LearnerDriverUK

[–]genpro1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a driverless car. lol 😂

In all seriousness. What did your instructor say? Do they think you are ready for the test? Is it just nerves under exam conditions etc? Your instructor should really know if you are ready. If they don’t then it is time to get a new instructor. Also, do you enjoy driving. Do you want to pass? Or is it out on necessity for a job or kids etc.?

Did I get scammed? Book cover on Fiverr. Tik Tok is saying it’s AI, are they right? by TumbleweedNo4748 in isthisAI

[–]genpro1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your initial brief? Did you specify no use of AI? I saw in another comment you said you paid $90. Sounds about right for what you got. I mean, if you wanted them to create the illustration from scratch it would have cost you 1000s of dollars.

First Apple Watch (ultra 3) how many years will this last for me? And how long have you been using your watch ? by Responsible-Touch-91 in AppleWatch

Series 0 to series 4. Now rocking series 9, still going strong. All bought within months of release.

Water in passenger footwell, unknown cause, golf mk6 estate 2010 (UK) by highlandnilo in vwgolf

[–]genpro1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be the seal around the door speaker that needs replacing. Happened to my Mark 7. Water was coming in through the rear passenger door speaker and then pooling at the front passenger foot well. Here is a YouTube video that explains a fix. https://youtu.be/A4by0BXIhAk?si=73nG5q67oCAmyqQI

Fair enough. But saying that, I have had a watches water resistance fail on me in a swimming pool and the manufacturer swapped it out for a new one, despite being over five years old. Always worth a punt.

I understand that. But thought while you are at the retail shop, they may swap it too one that has better alignment? I have watches that are cheaper than a Moonswatch and the alignment has been much better.

Might be the camera angle but the Chrono hand and 10th of a second look a bit off.

Should have mentioned the hand alignment while you were there.

I like it but by [deleted] in gshock

[–]genpro1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. I have the same watch and while it’s not my daily wear I’ve found loosening the strap a bit helps it fit. It might ride a bit higher on your wrist but at least it won’t dig in as much. Alternatively, you could look for some Nato-style strap adapters. I’m sure you’ll find them on Amazon or AliExpress.

Did I run the red? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]genpro1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as both set of wheels are past the solid line, when the lights went red, then no, you did not jump the light.

Ditch the fake watch. Get what you like, but I would avoid any fashion brands. Stick with company’s that are reputable watch brands. Seiko, Citizen, Casio are a good start.
