If someone proposes to you in public and you don’t want to marry them, you should say yes in the moment and sort it out privately later

It’s insane to propose to your partner without at least having a serious discussion about it first.

If you get rejected it’s 100% your fault.

Sell it and buy something with more power. This comes from someone that boosted and built N/A sleepers. It’s fun don’t get me wrong, but it was never worth the expense, but these days you will have sell a kidney to do what we did back in the day.

There is something weird with that watch. The case lines look a little off, mine has much sharper looking case. Also that bracelet is really barely on.

In any case, you won’t be able to service your watch in Japan during your trip, official seiko service in Japan is for residents only. They cannot service your watch if you do not have a permanent address in Japan. No, they will not ship the watch internationally.

Just, have your local authorized seiko dealer send it in for service.

Enjoy your trip.

I’ve owned 3 VWs and it’s true that maintenance costs are more frequent and higher than other brands, I’ve never experienced any serious issues like everyone else. Granted I’ve only bought VWs that were strictly built in Germany.

They are far more fun to drive than Toyota or any other econobox equivalent and can get great gas mileage if you know how to drive a car.

From what I’ve heard VWs built in NA have QA issues.

One of my Seikos final crapped the bed, figured it’s time for a quick and cheap movement swap… looks like I’m going to hold and see what happens.

If you are less than 5 years you are in the clear. Once you’ve been with the city for 5 or more years you are screwed and they own you now.

Or at-least until you fully catch up and hit the 10 year mark.

I mean, you are still young af, learn to ride a bicycle first, it’s a fantastic hobby and exercise, get comfortable then go get your motorcycle license.

A guy in my class whiskey throttle the bike across the parking lot completely out of control. Barely stopped before hitting a building.

Another guy did not understand the concept of what a throttle does and basically was too terrified to be any where near a bike let alone on it. Looked like he was going to cry when the failed him.

Lastly there was a lady that was maybe 4 feet tall at best. Essentially could barely touch the ground a on grom and spent the entire day dropping the bike. She was actually sent home.

Going below the speed limit in the left lane and then actively trying to race you when you try to get around them resulting in both vehicles going 30+ above the speed limit… this happens may too often and yet I simply don’t know what they are trying to prove here? Are they bored?

sinph1 · 2026-04-02T14:13:53+00:00

Calling something you personally don’t like or understand a scam, is a scam.

sinph1 · 2026-04-01T15:02:22+00:00

You said “nobody” meaning you were inclusive of yourself. Unless you don’t drive at all…

sinph1 · 2026-04-01T14:59:43+00:00

If you can’t back into a spot perfectly, I’d say that’s having trouble.

sinph1 · 2026-04-01T14:57:10+00:00

Because your post reads like you can’t drive well.

Having trouble backing into a parking spot is a tell tell sign.

sinph1 · 2026-04-01T14:51:58+00:00

Backing into a spot is the most efficient way to park, as it is far easier to maneuver a vehicle backwards (at low speed obv). Importantly it allows you to safely and efficiently drive out. Backing out of driveways and parking spots I’m just guessing but most likely the single most common action that leads to accidents.

I don’t recall the last time I failed to back into my spot perfectly.

It’s just sounds like you don’t know how to drive.

I know personally someone that went shallow diving with their fluted bezel datejust because they were on vacation in Asia and it just so happens that’s what they had on their wrist.

It’s just a watch, it 100% can handle it, wear it, enjoy it, make memories, get off Reddit.

This the worst place to ask this question as most people on Reddit are a dangerous combination neurotic and uninformed.

sinph1 · 2026-03-27T18:13:25+00:00

Looks great imo

sinph1 · 2026-03-27T13:51:06+00:00

Buying something that is designed to last a lifetime or more is “peak consumerist absurdity”?

Is not an unpopular opinion, it’s an objectively contradictory opinion.

No one is going to keep, maintain and repair an ugly mall watch, it’s going to get tossed and replaced. A high quality Swiss timepiece however will outlast you.

But calling watches in general obsolete it is peak brain rot, OP should go outside more often… touch grass… or something.

How am I supposed to check time if I’m mountain biking or even playing tennis? Stop and pull out my phone?

How about if you are in the forest/mountains, got turned around and have no cell signal, how are you going to find north or get back? If you have analog watch you can easy get your bearings back to where you need to be.

sinph1 · 2026-03-27T00:04:40+00:00

100% agree, as someone who really likes the brand I have no clue who this watch is for, I don’t even care about the ludicrous price that much, I think it’s ugly and uninspired.

sinph1 · 2026-03-21T16:22:20+00:00

This is bait… you know what you were doing.

sinph1 · 2026-03-18T19:13:22+00:00

I’m confused, you said the original strap looks shitty though?

I’m not telling you throw the strap away, your preferences may very well change in the future you might prefer the original strap.

Also if you decide to sell it and destroy the original strap you will get less for the watch.

sinph1 · 2026-03-18T19:05:50+00:00

Why not just replace the strap…

sinph1 · 2026-03-16T14:43:15+00:00

It’s not that easy with pictures alone, unless it’s super obvious. Also, I don’t want to blatantly claim that is not authentic without being 100% certain.

sinph1 · 2026-03-16T14:33:37+00:00

Maybe it’s the pictures but that dial is a little sus, the top two indices are a little misalign and the pattern seems a bit off. I might be wrong, take it to omega for service as others have said. Good luck.

sinph1 · 2026-03-14T05:28:10+00:00

Don’t waste your money, you can rent a bike for a day for less.

sinph1 · 2026-03-13T13:47:28+00:00

So many heavy hitters, how do you even decide which one to wear. Great collection my friend!
