    DSLR or Mirrorless Camera, which one to buy ?

    Budget? Mirrorless a don't come with mechanical shutter and optical view-finder. With those two out, you have a smaller form factor with mirrorless. Secondly, entry level DSLR are nearly dead, most manufacturers have or about to phase them out.

    Is vintagepluswatches website legit?

    Some of the dials looks RP. Mostly selling old ones which are serviced and dial repainted. You can buy HMTs from their official site https://www.hmtwatches.in/ If you live in Bangalore, you can walk into their showroom and try them out.

    If it stops after 3-4 months and give you a new one. It's the free version they are using. It's lasts for about 90 or 120 days. That free edition is meant for students, developers or architects who work on Azure, M365 ,etc.

    That's difficult ascertain. If it lasts 5yrs that's great. MS has different licenses for business like E3,E5, F3, etc. The cheapest one is like $8 per month/user (could be cheaper if paid annually). Most likely they are working with a 3rd party provider who has this tenant.

    Suggest a good deal for 140mm fans

    Corsair AF/ML series are noisy af. They sound like a vacuum cleaner. Am using the 120mm version and it gets unbearable while gaming with headphones. Opt for Artic P14 instead.

    Thinking of buying a watch around 30k

    I wouldn't touch anything made by fashion brands. They are mostly quartz movement. Invest in a mechanical/automatic movement. They will last a lifetime. For that budget, I would start with Seiko Presage series. Seiko 5 Sport Automatic are another option worth looking into. Another brand I...
