Dug this out of the forgotten boxes of the house. Dad left it in his watch case for a while now.
It was given to him by my maternal grandfather as a wedding gift.
It’s 30 years old. Got it serviced. The Indiglo button seems to be stuck. (Suggestions for repair are welcome).
Just wanted to share it with you all! I personally think it is a gorgeous watch.
Sharing my RS457! I believe I have done some tasteful mods on this. What do you think?
Couldn't find any reviews, so took one for the team. Will let you know how it goes. Initial impressions are very good. Build quality is sturdy, mount is strong, there is not much lag on the display, the USB C port is waterproofed, seems like a decent purchase so far.
I guess it would sound better if you listened with earphones as I believe the phone recording is blocking out from recording most of the exhaust sound.

This is my RaceNote Valvetronic Exhuast note after cold start. The sound gets louder and better after the engine heats up a bit. I know I have to wait longer until I can rev, but risked it a lil bit for the video lol. (revved the car towards the end of the video).
Also the phone microphone can only capture so much, it sounds 10x better in person, trust me. It is bassy and sweet.
I have gotten people stop me in traffic to compliment my car's exhaust sound. It is not obnoxious at all and hits the right sweet spot which makes it pleasant to listen to.

I have a black i20 N-Line N8 MT.
Been looking at 17 inch alloys. I saw a few other cars in the city and they all have tyres jutting out of their fenders a little bit which is not to my taste actually.
Turns out that the rim width is 7.5 J or higher causing it. I need to get a rim with the width 7J if I want the tyre to align with the fender.
I loved Advantec alloys' designs but couldn't find any 17inch 7J alloys.
Could you guys please help me with any more suggestions? The Sparco FF1 matches the spec but it is too expensive for me.
I have an i20 N-Line MT N8. I got its ECU remapped via Superchips, added a BMC Air filter and also got a RaceNote Valvetronic Exhaust. Imo, this exhaust is the best for i20 as it sounds bassy and sweet.
I also recently got the doors double damped with Blaupunkt’s gold damping sheets. This is a must have. It tremendously improves cabin noise insulation and the ambience. The doors have a better solid thud, random imperfections on the road don’t make the car rattle like a tin can and it fully unlocks the potential of the Bose audio system.
I also plan to get the Cobra lowering springs (30/40 mm drop) this weekend.

Ask me anything!
I love the watch. It has a great retro vibe. The step counting is not as inaccurate as people seem to be claiming on the internet. I found it just fine for my needs.
I initially thought the constant need to connect the watch to the phone every now and then (because it doesn't stay connected) would be a headache, but I have begun to enjoy the ritual of holding the black button and waiting for the chime and then letting it sync every now and then throughout the day. The friction of the process does add some charm.
