#splurging on a Seiko

[aesthetically0b5essed]

This smartwatch does like 10,000 things and keeps perfect time but I still prefer a mechanical one.

[donutwares]

My Seiko 077j on colorful Bond military strap, $7 @Shopee. It looks much more impressive than plainer straps like black-gray or khaki / olive, etc. which appear cheap and childlike.

I know I promised not to buy further watches / straps yet I did. And if I win the UpLink water conservation prize, I may splurge on a high end Casio circa $1k. No Rolex, PP, AP, JLC, GS, IWC, GO for me.

I'm sorry, but ever since you revealed that you're replaying corpse party for the season, I have got to send you an ask about it cause I've ever met anyone else irl who has actually played the game too fgdjdkdhdjd

Which version are you playing? The 2016 steam release with all the og rpg maker art and the bonus episodes? The 2010 psp release with the updated art but issue of not being able to 100% the name tags because of the 'what moron goes in to investigate the women's washroom when a demonic school dimension is currently is the process of collapsing?!' bug? The 3ds version with the updated art AND bonus episodes AND lack of name tag bug?

Have you ever watched the ova anime series as bloody and graphic as it is? What about the manga? Have you read that? Who's your fav character? Least fav? Favourite chapter? Fav song? Did you ever play the other games in the series or only the first (and the best let's be real)?

(I'm sorry for all the questions btw. I was hyper obsessed with this series like 8 years ago and it still clearly holds a special place in my heart fhdjdkdjdhd so as an apology here's a pic of two very gay girls that live on my shelf)

AHHHHH IM SO HAPPY YOU ASKED ABT THIS

its so nice that someone else i know has played it!!!

as for which one I'm playing, it's the 2021 rerelease!

i never actually got to play the og game growing up because i never had a pc

so i was stuck watching playthroughs for the longest time </3

i honestly cannot remember which version it was that i grew up watching. it was in the early 2010s, so it was probably the psp version! and those glitches aajhdhrjsjsjaj. it sounds so frustrating!! i had no idea they were bugged like that

corpse party has a special place in my heart because i started off roleplaying it by rping in the comment section of youtube vids as ayumi 😭

as for the anime series i did end up watching it! definitely younger than i should have been doing so but i liked it!! except i was really bummed about how it had the bad end if i remember correctly?? i was(still am) a hardcore ayushiki shipper and was so sad they did yoshiki like that </3

and i have actually read the manga! or at least part of it. i just have the first volume but really wanna get the rest. i just got so caught up in dorohedoro that i ended up splurging on all the books for that instead.

ayumi hands down is my fave. i know shes a motherfucker and fucked everything up, but thats honestly why i like her. i also just love that shes a horror aficionado but is by far the biggest pussy out of everyone. her duality <3

as for least fave itd have to be morishige. he's just such a fucking creep and the studious anime boy act is annoying af.

ill have to get back to you on fave chapter because my memory is really rusty and ive only made it back up to chap 4!

same goes for song. im also just the kinda person who doesnt really recognize soundtracks that well 😭

i do remember watching a lot of visual novel gameplay and book of shadows, but i do not remember anything about them because it was so fucking long ago!

AND PLEASE DONT FEELSORRY FOR BEING EXCITED ABOUT THIS IM GENUINELY HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND SOMEONE THIS EXCITED ABOUT IT!!

AND YOU SEIKO AND NAOMI FIGS ARE ADORABLE they should have been end game,,

The Bidders and their Watch choices

Eisuke:

He is a HUGE connoisseur of watches, in every sense of that word. His favorite Brands are Rolex, Patek Philippe, Rado, Longines, Tissot, Fossil, Timex, Audemars Piguet, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Chopard, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Blancpain, Omega, Montblanc, and practically every expensive Brand on this planet- you name it, he has it. He also owns Apple and Samsung Smartwatches. He has a massive collection of wrist watches in several colours & styles and noone can beat his expertise with watch fashions; he's a watch-Guru. He is always updated with the latest watch trends and with him being one of their biggest customers, Brand owners more than often send him their newly launched pieces or personally notify him to attend the launch of a new model that might catch his attention. This dude owns watches worth millions. He is super passionate about watches and will go lengths to get them customised with his initials E.I on the dials. He knows how spoilt he is when it comes to watches, but he thinks it's worth every penny and he's super proud of himself (that bitch). Eisuke prefers Analog watches to Digital ones. Watches are his go-to Birthday, Anniversary or Congratulatory gifts. He's a compulsive watch-shopper- if he likes a watch, he's going to raid the shop to get it, (they better not give him an excuse of it being just a showroom piece and not on sale or it not being customisable or any shit like that, he'll go APESHIT and ruin their Brand-name), and he doesn't give even a micro-fuck about the price.

Soryu:

Soryu too, loves watches, but he isn't as much a spendthrift as Eisuke. It's like he wants to buy watches, but he doesn't want to come across as spoilt, so he controls his urges. He owns 10-12 really good, high-end watches. Among Analog watches, his favorite brands are Timex and Omega- they're sturdy, durable and heavy-duty, much similar to his personality. His personal favorite is the Apple Smartwatch because it performs a plethora of functions for him- time, weather, temperature and tracking. On those days when he personally has some 'dirty' work to do, he avoids wearing a watch for it would break his heart to ruin one of his treasured pieces. He prefers watches in metallic black, navy blue or silver colours to match with his suit. He prefers watches with multiple dials to know the precise time, along with the date, day and month.

Mamoru:

This guy could care less about a watch, it isn't a daily-wear accessory for him. He thinks watches in general are a waste of money, and he doesn't give a fuck about the time either. He owns 2 or 3 watches in relatively cheaper but very reliable brands like Casio and Seiko. He has honestly been using the same black Genuine-leather strapped Casio since the past 10 years and Eisuke often mocks him for it, but he still wears it anyway. Infact, he brags about it being vintage and Baba has to explain him THAT IT ISN'T GODDAMMIT. He prefers leather straps to metallic straps. Among metallic straps, silver is his favorite color. He has only one CRAZY EXPENSIVE Patek Philippe(thanks to Eisuke) and he frankly never uses it because it would kill him if that watch gets scratched or damaged in any way. Yes he is thrifty.

Ota:

Ota, being young and artsy, prefers modern Brands to the Classic ones. His favorites include Tommy Hilfiger, Tag Heuer, Armani, Fossil, Swatch, Chanel, Hermès, Michael Kors and Casio. His favorite watch is his limited edition G-Shock by Casio, he treats that watch more like a baby, and less like a watch. Like Eisuke and Soryu, he too, owns an Apple Smartwatch. His watches are colourful and fashionable. He hates those boring leather straps and gold-plated watches. His go-to watch brand is Tommy Hilfiger. He often ditches multiple-dial watches for creative single-dial ones. He likes digital watches too. He has partnered with several Brands to provide them with unique, youngster-focused designs. He has a weird obsession with LED and Radium watches.

Luke:

As a doctor, he wears a watch 24/7, more than often even when he sleeps. He isn't a watch collector like Eisuke, but he adores Classic watches. He owns 8-10 high-end watches in Brands like Rolex, Victorinox, Breitling, Swatch, Roger Smith, Bremont, Pinion, Speake-Marin, and ofcourse, Robert Loomes. He LOVES English watch Brands. For everyday use, he wears his trusty leather strap Bremont, but for special occasions, he switches to metallic strap ones. His preferred watch type is Analog, with multiple dials which help him keep track of the month, date and day. He doesn't understand Apple watches really, they seem like an unnecessary technological complication. Among metallic straps, his favorite colours are rose-gold, bronze and silver. He often browses through Classic watch catalogues and makes an occasional splurge on one of his favorite Brands. He HATES when any of his watches run slow. He makes it a point to keep all of them very precise and in perfect working condition.

Baba:

He loves luxury and vintage watches, especially the Gold-plated ones. He isn't at all into modern designs. He is always looking for watches being auctioned and ensures that he gets his hands on them. He has formerly purchased really expensive Rolex and Patek Philippe watches through auctions. His watches are all Analog and they stand out since they are often encrusted with precious stones- he's rather extra about the bling and Eisuke hates him for it. He likes rectangular dials more than round ones, and prefers leather straps (he has particularly hairy hands- his hair gets caught in metallic straps and it hurts like hell, poor Baba ends up getting rashes on his wrist more than often.) Maybe he should take up on Ota's advise to get his hands waxed.

Hikaru:

Hikaru doesn't wear a watch most of the time due to (both) his professions. As a Bellboy, he tends to damage watches by accidentally hitting them on walls, doors, lifts, ovens?! There was one time when he mistakenly wore his favorite watch for a major kill, and it ended up covered in blood. Hikaru begrudgingly spent the entire night trying to clean it up and that taught him to avoid watches at all costs when he's being a hitman. He currently owns only two watches- both G.Shocks by Casio- one black and one white.

Shuichi:

He too, just like Luke, wears a watch 24/7. Wearing a watch is a part of his morning routine. He'll probably get a panic attack if he doesn't wear one. He too, owns several watches like a certain other person, better not be named, for it peeves Shuichi to no end. He likes watches in Silver and Black colors, any type of strap would do. He has fixed shops where he'll go to buy his watches and refuses to buy a watch anywhere else. It once happened that he came across Eisuke in a store and they picked the same kind of watch and the look of intense hatred on their faces left the store employees rather scared. The next time they came across each other in a watch shop, they both turned away and left (Lmao). Since then, Shuichi avoids shops inside Tres Spades or within a 2 km radius of it. His preferred Brands are Rolex, Victorinox, Breitling, Longines, Rado and Cartier. He prefers simple yet classy watches to go with his smart suit. He hates blingy watches meant for showing off- especially the ones that Eisuke wears. Eisuke's obsession with watches pisses him off. These two could totally be watch rivals.

MC:

Just like Hikaru, MC avoids wearing watches because they get damaged during work. She has 2-3 affordable, trendy, and chic Citizen watches for special occasions. She prefers round dials and metallic straps and her favorite colour is Rose Gold. On one of her Birthdays, both Eisuke and Shuichi gifted her filthy expensive Patek Philippe watches. She's scared to even touch those and keeps them securely locked inside her safe because God knows how many millions they might be worth. She is sure to get mugged if she wears those. She often thinks whether Eisuke genuinely (and innocently) gifted that watch to her or whether that devil bastard wanted her to fall in trouble that motherfucker

Best Dive Watches for 2019

Scuba diving is testament to mankind’s ingenuity in overcoming natural barriers, and dive watches are one of the best examples this. Combining precise engineering and looks into an accessory for an activity that humans shouldn’t really be doing is why dive watches have a soft spot in our hearts here at WKOW. So, if you’re thinking about purchasing a dive watch for that 2019 holiday, or potentially saving for that splurge watch, this guide will definitely point you in the right direction without getting your feet wet.

The main functions of a high-quality dive watch is to allow scuba divers to keep a record on the dive time, under pressure, by using a rotating (or analog) bezel that allows the wearer to pre-select a period of time up to 60 minutes. This allows the wearer to understand their dive time, and then calculate maximum dive time before hazardous gases build up in their blood system. Diving is by its a nature a risky sport, so the last thing you want to be worrying about is whether your dive watch is going to give way mid-dive, leaving you more vulnerable than is necessary. This is where technical specifications and user reviews come into play.

The robustness of a watch will be tested underwater. Yes, you’ve got additional pressure from water above, but watches also get banged around a lot whilst diving. This can be from rocks, coral, your own tank/gear and even fine sea particles such as sand and seaweed can play havoc to the durability of a dive watch.

We all love a sexy design, but don’t just base your decision on looks. Instead, make sure the watch has the features you’re going to use the most. This doesn’t mean you need to go for the highest-price watch simply because it has the most features. If you aren’t going to use the feature, you’re basically adding extra expense for no benefit.

I personally perform a simple design when I’m diving because I don’t want to be wasting my dive time playing around with features, dials and buttons. This is time I can spend hanging out with my dorsal appendaged friends. That said, we’ve included a range of watches for different budgets, styles and preferences in the round up of our 7 favorite dive watches below:

The lower price point and more casual look of this watch has allowed it to attract the eye of many divers. The solar quartz movement with a long power reserve means this watch will keep you under the water with a minimum of maintenance and stress.

These Padi licensed watches are water resistant up to 200m (656 ft), made of stainless steel and the overall look of the watch is quite appealing with a smaller form factor than some of the more bulkier dive watches on the market.

The word Prospex implies professional specifications and these watches don’t disappoint the budget conscious diver that also needs precise engineering. With a lower price point, you’d be forgiven for splurging a little more on that new Go Pro you’ve been eyeing…

But even before this, the Omega Seamaster has been a long time favorite of water sport aficionados, with the rivalry between Omega and Rolex pushing advancements in underwater watch technology and design. The following video shows a detailed history of the Seamaster Planet Ocean, featuring the old and newer designs – it’s beautifully shot too!

Where this watch really departs from its predecessors is the technology and associated attention to detail. They’ve removed the satin aluminium bezel inserts and replaced with scratch resistant ceramic inserts. And, perhaps the biggest improvement to design is the use of liquid metal, rather than traditional casting and subsequent machining. This produces a very precise, strong and corrosion resistant watch.

This level of engineering finds it’s way throughout the entire watch, including the movement system.  Powered by the Omega 8500 caliber Co-Axial based automatic movement which has been widely regarded as a robust and precise movement system. This watch is a true competitor and alternative to the Rolex Submariner.

One of the main drawbacks of the new Planet Ocean’s technology is that they are a few millimeters thicker. This has left some enthusiasts shaking their head as one of the Seamaster’s long running standout trait’s has been it’s slim, elegant design. This watch has been known to actually feel thicker than it is.

The bold design with broad arrow hands and gloss dials, works effortlessly with the well proportioned, precise engineering contained within this iconic and practical watch that James Bond still wears to this day. This watch is definitely one to consider if you have the budget and want a stylish, practical and superbly engineered dive watch.

Tudor is a sister company to Rolex – both are owned by the Hans Wildorf Foundation, so it’s no surprise that this watch follows in the footsteps of the Rolex Submariner. We’ve chosen to feature the blue version of the watch, as we’ve fallen in love with the vibrancy and deepness of this blue backing. Check out the brilliant blue color in the video below:

This Swiss made watch with automatic hand movement has been gaining in popularity with divers since the Pelagos’ rebirth in 2012. Because this watch is made of titanium, it is lighter than it’s stainless steel counterparts, which is a great feature if you plan on this watch being your everyday watch too. The titanium watch and bracelet have a brushed finished, which makes it stand out from a traditionally high-polished finish of a stainless steel and tends to hide scratches very well.

In 2015, Tudor introduced it’s own revamped movement system, the MT56 12 with a 70 hour power reserve. The saphire crystal is completely flat, eliminating any distortion that a raised crystal provides, which is a handy underwater feature. The build quality can be felt and heard in the click of the bezel as you move it.

The Tudor Pelagos is much more than a “cheaper” version of it’s big brother, Rolex. The titanium build provides a sophisticated , lightweight alternative to a Submariner or Planet Ocean and is very worthy of at least adding to your shortlist. At least try and check out the brilliant blue version of this watch as we’ve found it to be very striking, whilst remaining elegant for those dinner occasions.

The Submariner was invented shortly after, with it’s iconic status cemented by Sean Connery wearing one in the first Bond film, Dr No.

There are two main versions of the Submariner; with and without a date plus magnifier. The non-date version costs about $1,000 less and is arguably the more popular of the two. It was also the original as the date version only came in later.

Featuring a 40mm wide case crafted from a single block of a corrosive-resistant 904L steel, and a turning bezel made from Cerachom (a type of ceramic) which makes it extremely resistant to scratching, fading and corrosion. The movement is controlled by the in-house Rolex Calibre 3130. An important visual and functional feature is the winding crown, which closes much like a submarine latch.

This video shows the beauty of the Submariner close up in all it’s beauty:

The Submariner isn’t just renowned by divers, or for precise engineering. It redefined what it meant to own a prestige watch. You certainly do pay a premium for the Rolex brand, but in return, you know you’re getting an incredibly engineered watch that will last for many years, is universally loved and admired. Indeed, a significant factor for many in purchasing this watch is for the status, announcing to the world that you’ve made it. Don’t let this fool you though, the Submariner is a serious dive watch and definitely worth considering.

The Aquaracer has evolved from the  Heuer 2000 which came out in 1982. Tag Heuer have used this time to add various features, whilst retaining the original elegance and style.

The 41 mm case features alternating polished and brushed stainless steel, bringing a casual elegance to this watch. The biggest change in recent years has been the addition of the ceramic bezel. Similar to Rolex’s Submariner and Omega’s Planet Ocean, the ceramic bezel allows the watch to take an absolute beating without scratching, fading or corroding. This is a massive feature for dive watches given that it’s very common to bang your hands on all sorts of rocks, corals, sand and other general underwater hazards whilst diving. But, the Aquaracer is considerably more affordable than a Submariner or Planet Ocean, making it a great entry-level dive watch for collectors and wearers.

The Aquaracer comes in both chronograph (three-counter calibre 16 movement) and automatic (Calibre 5) models. The chronograph models are generally around $1,000 more than the automatic models. Both models are quality, durable dive watches.

Check out this detailed review on the Aquaracer below – FWIW, I don’t think this watch deserves any hate!

What I like a lot about the Aquaracer is that it doesn’t try and be a Submariner clone. It is bold and unique in its own right. Go elsewhere for a Submariner clone. Choose a Tag Heuer Aquaracer if you want an extremely durable Swiss-engineered dive watch that has many of the features that rival its more expensive counterparts.

We’ve chosen the titanium version of the Oris Diver collection because the watch is on the chunky side and we love how lightweight this watch is. It’s actually a little deceiving when you first pick it up – as given it’s size you’d expect it to be heavier.

The 49mm case is the largest in our roundup of favorite watches for 2019, so it’s definitely one you’d want to put on your wrist before buying. Other notable features are the ceramic unidirectional bezel which is great for resisting scratches and bumps, anti-reflective sapphire window and a date window at 6 O’clock. Aesthetically, the subtle waves behind the dial give it a smooth look against black face and the luminous indicators work well at night.

This watch definitely makes a statement, and whilst it may not have the same branding appeal as a Rolex or Omega, it is definitely one to look out for if you prefer slightly larger watches that won’t weigh you down. We’ve seen some good deals on these watches too, so don’t be afraid to shop around.

Indeed, this is one of the least expensive quartz based dive watches that is rated to 500m water resistance.

The simple, practical design performs very well under low light conditions, with bold, luminous hands, hour markers and graduations on the unidirectional stainless steel bezel. Bezel movement is met with solid, deep clicks – something that is often missing in less expensive dive watches. The date function features a magnified display for easy reading.

This watch should be on your radar if you want a practical dive watch rated to 500m, but aren’t prepared to fork out thousands more for brand or prestige appeal. It is a very good watch for the price and worthy of consideration.
