December 25, 20223 yr I’m a Grand Seiko enthusiast and I just ordered the SBGY009 as a little late Christmas gift to myself. I can not wait.

January 1, 20232 yr Blue leather band finally came in for the ‘57 after 8 months. I think I actually like the metal band better at this point but I’ll give this one a little while and see. Edited January 1, 20232 yr by Brew

Talked to a few ADs here in Manhattan, and it seems like a 6 month wait for these models unless a guy like @ChiTownDoc puts in a good word. Not the most sought after like Daytonas, GMTs or Subs, so I’m hopeful. Worth the wait

It was a tank of a watch that was the epitome of purposeful. Like I said, I miss it. Wish I hadn't sold it but it was a lot of watch. And I made a small profit so that helped.

Here’s a (not great) picture of my wife’s 28 mm Oyster Perpetual and Cartier Tank Francaise Medium to give you an idea on comparative size. The Cartier is a bigger watch overall. She is looking for a purple face 31mm Oyster Perpetual now to get a little bigger Rolex. The 28 is a little on the small side.

I still have problems wrapping my brain around that type of $$, even though I wouldn’t think twice about other luxuries. I know how you go thru them, 116600 for a year, then I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse…
April 1, 20232 yr This looked and felt great on my wrist ….. I really liked the Santos when I tried it on. Extremely comfortable and looked great. Still ended up going with the GO 70s that I was considering at the same time.
April 1, 20232 yr Swiss watch company off Felipe, it’s in a bank building. They slapped a new band on my seiko divers watch

April 9, 20232 yr I find myself needing a black dialed piece as I near the end of my meager collection. I keep going back and forth between Glashutte and Sinn. I favor the Glashutte Original Sixties and any of the Senators from Glashutte. From Sinn I'm really drawn to the Meisterbund 6200.

April 11, 20232 yr ^^^ yep that would be the one. I've been in touch with an AD and he's told me there are still some around. I really like the contrast of the dial and number font.
