Are you some kind of stupid? What kind of shitty coping mechanism is this bullshit? You know you want the Rolex, and you could have it if you just try a little harder. But here you are on an internet Burmese basket weaving forum seeking validation for your garbage Tudor. Whether you're an alpha-minus going through Soiko by the dozens or a shitty or tfw to intelegent to enjoy Rolex, you're all the same: a fuck up. IThe truth is you would much rather wallow in mediocrity while making sarcastic quips at anyone who shines a light on your inconsistencies. You have it in your to reach for the apex, but here you are saying "fuck that shit I'll just get a Tudor lmao" as if living life was an effort and as if being a beta slob was any better. cringe t b h

yeah, i stopped playing the AD game a long time ago. Some of them are nice enough people, but for the most part none of them give a flying fuck about you. Once I went into an AD I had a relationship with, and they showed me someones Tudor GMT they were holding for them to collect. They even let me try it on. Now imagine, if that were your watch that you had waited fuck knows how many months for, and someone else has worn it on their wrist after you've paid for it?
That being said you're still an autist for the way you acted. But we've all been there. Save some cash, buy secondhand (unless it's Rolex then bend over and get fucked) or just wait for the current bullshit exclusivity trend is over.

Many things don't exist on the internet. You'd have to ask a legit Seiko service center.

The Casio service center over here can find parts in Casio's own internal system that you would never ever find elsewhere, from motor coils in G-Shocks, to limited bracelets. Same should apply for other brands.

Yeah, I've just emailed the Seiko UK service centre. I'll see what they say, thanks for the advice.

What is the most Spartan waterproof watch?

Need some help. What watch is Tom Holland wearing, or what are some reasonably priced ($250ish) alternatives that look similar?
