There’s this seller on Instagram who has very very lightly used watches for a massive discount. He has around 150k followers but low engagement on each post. He’s selling this watch for around 30k. Not willing to meet in person or do cash on delivery. Watch in the videos and pictures seems clean, especially with the warranty card and Rivoli stamp. Please give your opinions!

So after the purchase i got these two straps from Dreamwatches and it's not bad so far..

It looks like a toy watch on the Ceramic band 🤣

(Also opinions are like a’holes ; everybody’s got one..respectfully not here for “this or that” or it looks ugly just thought I could share something with the sub)

Model: GM-B2100SD-1C (FULL METAL)

After my first experience of getting GBM-2100 fake from Myntra sale, I was too doubtful and suspicious but gave it a try on the spot trusting it's from official casio indian website, and was tensed out till it was getting delivered.

Still can't believe to pull this one on time.

It does work btw

Got it a few back along with an additional strap. Can’t decide which one looks better?

I have not worn any watch in my life, I want to start I have liked this one, for my first watch I do not want to spend a. Fortune and also every watch I check I don't like I have liked this one, can you guys give a few suggestions which I might like.

If it is very good I am open to spending a bit more money.

FYI I have a small wrist.

Basically I need help in getting a good watch suggestion to get started with my watch journey.

Found a guide online on how to make a 3D printed watch and thought I'd try it out. How does it look? Also got the VH31 movement for that quick beat.

Fell in love with this one at Mumbai airport while window shopping waiting for the flight.

Didn’t buy at the time.

Bought it a month and a half back from Helios. After Seiko jacked up prices. But Helios still had old with old MRP of 42k.

Got a decent discount for final price to be around 36.5k.

Seiko Presage. Sunburst.

Idk it looks weird is it only me 😭 yes I got beefy hands... should I get a bigger one and gift this one to my brother ? Does it even look good?

Meet the Grand Seiko 'Snowflake'. I bought this watch in 2018. This was my first Grand Seiko and my most expensive watch at that time. After 8 years, I still love the watch like I did on the very first day.

The dial has a snow like texture inspired by wind-swept snow around the Hotaka mountains near Grand Seiko’s Shinshu Watch Studio (And hence named 'Snowflake' by watch lovers - this is not an official name from Grand Seiko).

Interestingly, the dial has a story. While developing the Snowflake, Grand Seiko's craftsmen searched their archives and discovered a textured dial sample made for a 56GS from 1971. That old design helped provide the technical basis for creating the Snowflake texture. The dial making is labor-intensive - Grand Seiko says more than 80 separate processes are required to finished the Snowflake dial. The applied hour indices are multi faceted and polished to perfection to achieve the mirror like shine.

The case (41mm) and bracelet is titanium and weighs only 100grams and is Zaratsu polished - hence very comfortable to wear and elegantly finished.

The heat-blued hands provide the perfect contrast.

The watch houses the amazing 9R65 spring drive movement with 72 hours of power reserve and accuracy rated to ±15 seconds per month.

Spring Drive combines mechanical power with quartz precision. A traditional mainspring generates electricity to power a quartz crystal, which precisely controls the movement’s speed through an electromagnetic brake mechanism. A spring drive's signature is the gliding seconds hand - the watch doesn't tick nor produce any ticking sound. To me, the blue seconds hand gliding across the snowy white dial evokes the feel of a lone skier sweeping across a snow covered mountain side.

The Grand Seiko “Snowflake” is arguably the watch that popularized Grand Seiko to the wider world and brings together nature, technology and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The amount of compliments I get with this piece is insane. Pretty mainstream but I’ll ride with it :)
