    Merry Christmas 7/10. It's almost neo noir. Only if KK could act.

    Options for automatically syncing watches in India

    Even I have a G shock, but cannot sync. Wish India had an atomic facility.

    What watch are you wearing today???

    Has anyone ordered from creationwatches, as of late? How much do the customs work out? And does one need to go to airport cargo area to release the watch.

    MSG makes things taste different

    It is for Chinese food. Not Indian. It used to be extensively used in Chinese cuisine, then a smear campaign halted usage. Now it is seeing a resurgence. It is like the "haldi" (sans color) of Chinese food. Add it everywhere. Primary reason why a chowmein tastes wow in a hotel vs bland at home...

    What watch are you wearing today???

    6.5K for the Seiko. And around 8K for the Citizen. Had to give 3K more for the Citizen (above the 8K) since something was wrong with the circuit. The capacitor units probably lasted 10 years before going bad. I think Seiko uses better cells now, which are supposed to give longer yield and...

    What watch are you wearing today???

    You would not get anything for these watches. The brands are unknown, and their movements would not have harvest-able parts, if need to be repurposed. Also the dials are scarred beyond repair, and the bracelets are defunct. What I would do: show them to a small corner watch repair shop (ask if...

    What watch are you wearing today???

    Honestly that seems a rip off. Apart from the Miyota movement + pre-90s nostalgia, HMT watches offer nothing. The dials are s***, casing is basic steel, hands are ill designed, chapter looks weird, crown is rudimentary. Straps are lousy. Rather punch in a bit more and get something from Titan.

    Is mumbai too expensive ?

    Bombay is one crowded town. Choose carefully. It's bursting at the seams and exploding. Totally exploited and at the end of its run. Calcutta in not any better. Old cities, with hardly any infrastructure upgrade and politically abused since they are power centers. Not good places to live in.

    What watch are you wearing today???

    Just checked out their website. They have really good stuff. How are the straps. The watches are interesting, but seem a bit overpriced. But they are using good movements.

    Confused between lenses of Lenskart

    ^^ Been wearing spectacles since 1994. Yet to see glasses that will not scratch over time! I also alternate between contact lenses when I wanna wear cool Aviators sans power. And use eye drops to prevent dry eyes! Or remove dust. Lol

    Confused between lenses of Lenskart

    All of these gimmicks should be researched. This year I purchased photochromatic lenses for around 12K. Zeiss photofusion. They would turn dark blue in UV or sunlight. Then become normal inside the house. Upon usage I realized they only work properly if around below 35c temperature. Felt so...

    The wet shaving thread

    Got the Parker 87R. Hefty weight, and a well mannered TTO razor. Loading gates open well, and the metal is high quality. Specially love the knurling. Razor response: MILD.
