    Again, the Rota Grid vs Volk TE37 is like the Seiko 5 vs Submariner. While the Grid pays homage to the Sub and its design is heavily inspired by the Rolex, it's a totally separate product in itself.

    Magkaiba ang Rota Grid sa TE37 copy. The TE37 copy is an outright fake/replica.

    Agreed, i dont mind if the guy next to me is wearing a luxury watch that is infinitely more expensive than mine but is actually a knock off. These days its increasingly difficult to spot high end knock offs due to the increasing quality of copy, save maybe opening the watch and looking at the movement.

    The reason that i dont mind is watches for me is a profoundly personal decision and experience. It marks events and milestones in my life that only i appreciate the most. My choice makes me happy everyday seeing it on my wrist as its both beautiful and memorable. Nevermind that its a cheap watch, the value for me is personal. A rolex may be more expensive and iconic for example but you find it gad awful and no memories attach to it so sans pang show off lang it holds no personal value.

    the seiko 5's of the 70s and 80s are still on sale.
    but handling them, the watches seem "lighter" now than before... the kuwerdasan has moved from 4 o'clock to 3 o'clock. the push function to change the day isn't there anymore..
    does it still run as yesterdecades' ?

    Modern Seikos and Orients run on a different movement. It is common now for Japanese automatics to have the hacking function (second hand stops when setting time) but Seiko still sells watches with their reliable 7S26 movement (non hacking) including the very popular SKX series.

    Most Seikos have their change date function on the crown already which may be positioned on the 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock depending on the model. Orients have also stopped producing models with the quick date set button.

    dok and bench,

    yan yung napapansin ko lately sa mga mahilig magrelo ngayon. Its not like nung 1980s na ang watch dati eh more of digital ang uso, tapos 90s mga fashion watch. Pag pasok ng year2000 eh naging jewelry na relo, status symbol pataasan-ihi kahit hindi bagay.

    Remember pag pasok ng pager jan simula nabawasan nagsusuot ng watch. Tapos pumasok cellphone eh kumonti na talaga. Kasi "Over-Accessorizing" na.

    Ito example

    - May hawak hawak na smartphone

    - relo

    - porcelas pa

    - kwintas

    - singsing

    - gadget na nakasabit sa likod tenga.

    Oh di ba parang chrismas tree na katawan.

    And ang lagi ko napapansin pag nasa bahay ako friends/relatives eh usually pag uwi nila they first remove their watch. Parang pagod na pagod na suot.

    Was seated between a guy wearing a rolex submariner and a guy wearing an AP RO chronograph. Ako naman naka seiko turtle.

    Did i feel inferior? No, despite their watches costing 40 and 300 times more than my seiko.

    What i'm trying to say is nasa nag susuot yan. It doesn't matter if you wear a seiko or a richard mille, nasa nagdadala yan kung masaya ba siya or hindi.
