FAQ’s
1. Do I need to service my automatic watch, and how often?
Yes, automatic watches require periodic servicing to ensure accuracy and longevity. It’s recommended to service your watch every 3–5 years, depending on usage. Regular maintenance helps keep the movement clean, lubricated, and running smoothly.
2. What does a waterproof rating of 1000ft mean for my watch?
A 1000ft (300m) waterproof rating means the watch is suitable for professional diving, as it can withstand water pressure at depths up to 1000 feet or 300 meters. It is ideal for activities like scuba diving, swimming, and snorkeling but not for extreme conditions like saturation diving unless specified.

The Inspiration - Hardcore
Inspired by the early NYC punk and Hardcore scene where Stephen hung out in the bars and clubs in the east village and beyond, CBGB, A7, The Continental, Coney Island High... to name a few. This was the inspiration as well for the company name. The DIY attitude was always an inspiration . . . We got Soul Doubt!
The Inspiration - Eastend
Inspired by the essence and feeling of the Eastend beaches of Long Island. Kerim has always found the natural landscapes, sights and sounds to be both meditative and compelling. The waves crashing, seagrass swaying, warm breeze blowing and sea gulls calling all create a nirvana of peace and serenity. Mother nature is medicine for the soul.
The Inspiration - Tattoo
Honoring the longevity and durability of a tattoo's design over time was the goal and inspiration. American Traditional (or Old School) tattoos, a style characterized by its thick black lines, limited color palette (red, yellow, green, black), and simple, iconic imagery—all elements designed for maximum longevity.

Can I dive with the Culture watch?
No, Nope, Please don't!
The 5 ATM water resistance allows your watch to withstand submersion in water, so you can use it for swimming. However, if you are planning a swim, make sure it is calm, avoid jumping and diving! A 5ATM watch does not withstand activities that will put your watch under excess pressure.
What's the deal with the quote?
"Create your Culture or we will for you" is all about the commodification of Culture in our society today. The things that used to define who we are; our most cherished beliefs, values, and unique traditions, along with the objects and symbols that mark our group identity….. are now being treated as just products to be bought and sold.
We are seeing a trend where powerful companies and organizations, which have no real connection or respect for a community's heritage, are taking its most sacred cultural elements (traditional designs, ceremonies, or deeply held beliefs). They then turn these elements into commodities…. simple items or marketing tools … with the sole goal of making money (revenue and fodder).
Our heritage is being treated as inventory. This process strips culture of its meaning and depth, reducing powerful symbols of belonging into shallow sources of profit for outsiders.
