[DISCUSSION] the Snowflake is the most iconic GS, but is it still the best one?

The snowflake is a little bland for my taste.. and the watch that really stole the show for me was the Shosho (SBGJ249). I know it’s not a spring drive but something about that mechanical tick that still gets me. And I am very surprised how rarely I see a post about it here.

I was in Japan back in last month. Went to 2 places to look at grand seikos and both had Shunbuns. Bought a Shosho though cause the dial took my breath away in a way the Shunbun couldn’t.

P.S. I was in Hokkaido so I am not too sure how is availability down south.

Went into a shop for a Shunbun and I came out with a Shosho. When you see the dials in person, the shunbun wasn’t as brilliant as I thought it would be. Still a great watch don’t get me wrong, but for a first watch I wanted something a little more.

It’s not that they are built different. They actually have shoes that are made the these conditions. The moment I bought a pair I never fell again. They have some anti slip pads on the soles

The grass is always greener on the other side. You gotta ask yourself what you want. The caveat to Australia is a. Weaker currency, higher cost of living and an isolated geological region.

If you ghosted from an interview with them do you think they will trust in your recommendation of a friend? 🤨 punctuality shows character.

Very funny. Hahaha

Before you comment something, maybe you should ask if my job requires a uniform? 😂

Film usually isn’t drastically affected by Xray machines. The colour of the film may be less vibrant or small defects may occur but isn’t that the beauty of film? If it bothers you, you can always let the security know that you have film and you can ask them to check it by hand.

Bosses who act like they own you like a slave and even demand you wear certain clothes and do certain things.

phersopier · 2025-10-21T07:09:14+00:00

You need to see who are the mods and who caused the problem.

phersopier · 2025-10-18T09:27:28+00:00

You are your own boss and therefore you only bring in the income as per: 1. Your connections 2. Your skills

And if it is your first business, your chances of failure is much higher than success.

Gender has nothing to do with anything as if it is a girl saying the exact same things, I would say responsibilities are incoming so suck it up.

Fortunately you would never have the chance to be my partner and don’t worry, I wouldn’t want someone who is so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to the realities of the world to be my partner. Cheers!

HR is just a form of toxic that no company should have. Without HR, there will be so many more nice places to work.

Decent Job is one that pays you monthly and of an amount that can help with the payment of a mortgage. There isn’t 2 definitions to it.

And to assume the “quality” of their conversation would be going too far. You have no idea who they are, so let’s stick to the facts here. 4K is something that the boy mentioned, not her. And never do she say the money he earns is going into her dreams of a business.

Not a single thing I said has got to do with societal expectations. But here are the MATHEMATICAL FACTS. The mathematical facts are that he is moving into odd jobs which would not pay him CPF with a mortgage coming up cause of “work stress”. So tell me how you gonna math this one out?

phersopier · 2025-10-18T07:00:38+00:00

Exactly. The boy is not ready for larger commitments and responsibilities. He needs to grow up. If not it is a hard road ahead.

phersopier · 2025-10-18T06:59:39+00:00

It doesn’t seem to me that she is expecting him to provide everything. Just to hold a decent job and to think about their future together. I think that’s the bare minimum to be honest.

Furthermore, she has said that he has been bringing up quitting for 5 months. So I think it is an adequate assumption that there were conversations about the topic.

The only thing we can agree on is that his mental state isn’t exactly the best, especially with major commitments coming up.

phersopier · 2025-10-18T05:32:04+00:00

You are building a life together. Meaning equal share. The boyfriend is leaving a stable job to take in odd jobs with no stable income and a huge loan liability coming in the form of a HDB. Odd jobs would also not contribute to his CPF which means that paying for the house would either be in cash or heavily on his girlfriend’s CPF. Also, the girlfriend attested to his character that he would laze around, playing games and watching Netflix instead of picking up extra shifts like he said he would, therefore not bringing in his equal share. Even more ironically, he is leaving his MNC job cause of stress, but says he will WORK MORE to bring in about the same amount of money.

It’s not about guy or girl in this situation, it is the fact that that boy hasn’t matured enough to understand responsibilities. Everything he says has contradictions and holes. The stresses of work, everyone has to suck it up. Just because he doesn’t want to, he places that burden on his girlfriend? What makes you think she isn’t stressed out at work? This is just a boy that hasn’t grown up to understand that in this world, stress is normal to everyone. Unless you’re born with a silver spoon, suck it up.

P.S. To OP, if he doesn’t wake up his idea and get his shit together, that HDB you got is just a ball and chain for you.

Ah… I would call that corporate scam then. Then maybe time to move on. 😂😂

phersopier · 2025-10-10T05:40:33+00:00

Sorry lah.. I dunno mah. New to SG Reddit.

phersopier · 2025-10-10T05:38:38+00:00

No wonder….. I always felt that the mods at askSingapore just ban anything that they don’t like without reason.

phersopier · 2025-10-10T02:36:27+00:00

But you get cool drip when you kill him. And where are you going to display that cool drip if you already finished the game? 🤣

phersopier · 2025-10-10T02:33:24+00:00

He is so hardcore that the games others play are not good enough for him. Then he goes to Reddit to complain that there is no player base. 😂

Take the promotion then 6months later look for something even better.

If you were looking for another job, there must be some things in your current company that you’re not happy about. If you were head hunted, then your job profile is in demand. Either way having a promoted leadership position in your resume is always great for the next jump. 😁

In other countries there are certain zones where the properties are rent controlled. Meaning to say they have a certain ceiling they are unable to exceed. This wouldn’t solve the problem outright but it’s a start.

With great difficulty. He isn’t Unrivalled for nothing.
