    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.

    Wiz bulbs turning back on after a power cut

    Philips Wiz are a useless product. I got three some years back, 2 still exhibit similiar erratic behavior. They will also ghost come on/off, not aligned with the schedule set. Homesmart bulbs work better. I have 1, it never behaves out of specifications.

    Need suggestion for instrument to learn(haven't played anything ever)

    Depends. No instrument (or fine art) has an easy learning curve, unless you have a really good "ear", which means you can hear something and immediately play it to tune (or sing). It takes years of practice and rigor to be able to produce a sound which is pleasant to hear. Like how you...
