I hate it so much when I get an "Shipped" "Fulfilled" "On the way" notice, but really it's just the label being created, and nothing will actually ship for another 4/5 days.

Please, that kind of communication is irrelevant and frustrating unless the parcel has actually left the premises.

What really caused this ?? Sellers ?? Seiko themselves?? Who's the greedy end ??

The 4R35/NH35 used to be the cornerstone of affordable mechanical watches. We're talking 20 bucks a pop, allowing microbrands and private individuals alike to build affordable & reliable watches for little money. I purchased many myself for less than 3 figures. Those days are over.

New Tactical Frog model : forbidden Child of a Planet Ocean and a Doxa. Is the Hangzhou 2565 any reliable??

I love these chimeras of watches. Reminds me of the Addiesdive AD2033.

Thoughts on this wild thing ??

I love it just for the sake of being so different than anything Tudor would do today. THAT was a true "born to dare" watch.

Imagine the bezel of a 3550€ professional watch turning yellow in 3 years or less. I'm starting to believe the "mall watch" étiquette is well deserved for Tag Heuer.

The 5 Sports line of Seiko watches. From best entry-level value to worst (in existence) entry-level value in 10 years or less. Gotta give credit where it's due.

Looking to upgrade my dad's old department store junk flashlight. Is this a good pick ?? He likes to lit-up eventual intruders venturing on his estate, late at night.

Should i also buy an extra battery ?

Might sounds like a silly thing to do, but many affordable watch brands add little to no lube to their gaskets before closing the watch at the factory. I guess Citizen are doing things differently??
