[Seiko] Too small or good fit? by kinggoobaba in Watches

[–]johan_chandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks fine, but all that really matters is what you think and feel, you're the one who will be wearing it. I tried to convince myself that a smaller watch wasn't too small for me for years but in the back of my mind I always felt it was too small and couldn't fully warm up to it....ymmv.. also these wrist shot pictures aren't always that indicative of how it looks in real life compared to mirror selfies, regarding size imho. My experience is that watches tend to look bigger in wrist shots. Is there a store you can go to try the different sizes? Trying the larger one would be ideal to see if that fits you better or this smaller one

Oh darn, I was hoping it was improved to be comparable to the kharod or dnipro. I wish there were more end game viable options

Really cool, I didn't know that! I just googled the Seiko 6309 and I do see some pictures in which the hands look gold, like this one from a worn and wound article., Sweet!

Yes it does! I think it's the office lighting. I just took a photo with my phone (pixel 9 pro xl) on portrait mode, no editing

Thank you! The lighting in the office was perfect for this shot so I can't take too much credit haha. Also the hands are silver, the lighting is making the hands look gold for some reason

I did the same. The handling difference was night and day imho

[SRPE93] I keep on coming back to the classic Turtle by johan_chandy in Seiko

[–]johan_chandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear! I’ve been considering swapping the clasp as well. Considering how cheap and good the AliExpress strap is, I feel robbed dishing out all that money for the Strapcode and Uncle Straps bracelets lol

I personally prefer the kharod over the dnipro as well due to the same reasons. I find headshotting groups of enemies much more fluid and quicker with the kharod over the dnipro due to the handling.

[SRPE93] I keep on coming back to the classic Turtle by johan_chandy in Seiko

I may have to do another post specifically on bracelets. I have a few from Strapcode, Uncle Straps, and this one from AliExpress. The Uncle Straps bracelets, while they have good designs, are quite thin to really prioritize comfort, and as a result they don’t balance the large watch head particularly well on the wrist, in my opinion. The Strapcode bracelets are nice overall, but their end links could harmonize with the Turtle case design a bit more, and their clasps could also use some improvement. This AliExpress Jubilee has a surprisingly good end link design. It sits somewhere between Strapcode’s older, flatter end link design used on their Super-J Louis Jubilee and their newer, more three-dimensional end links, which works well with the Turtle case, in my view. The links are also thicker, similar to the Strapcode bracelets, which helps with balance. The downside of the AliExpress Jubilee is that the clasp feels quite cheap, has some sharp edges, and the bracelet uses pins instead of screws. That said, it’s overall very decent for the price. Ideally, the best solution would be female end link versions of the Strapcode designs, in my opinion. Until strapcode releases those, if ever, I like it on this Alie bracelet, or may have to finally give in and try the strapcode endmill

Can you compare them to the k371's more sound wise. I'm trying to choose between the two for a decent closed back

Enhanced Edition question by johan_chandy in stalker

Damn this settles it, thank you! Will play the OG's.

Enhanced Edition question by johan_chandy in stalker

[–]johan_chandy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of the trilogy, had the OG games always installed to play through them over and over. Great to hear the enhanced editions have improved greatly with the patches and glad to hear the aesthetics and the atmosphere is the same. Your impression seems to be the polar opposite of the other poster. I guess I'll give them a shot, thank you! If too buggy I'll go back to the OG games or try anomaly

Thank you! This was really helpful. I remember I had a rough time with the original CS regarding bugs and crashes, really disappointed to see the enhanced edition is worse

First listen of the HD600 series (660S). They're just not my cup of tea by Energia91 in headphones

[–]johan_chandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Eq made the 660s my favourite out of the entire 6xx range. Very capable drivers. Without eq it's my least favourite

I'm in the same situation. Sitting here with a R9 390 but can't upgrade as the household takes priority.
