Seiko

. . . a bad thing. Well, maybe not that bad. But it was a case of instant lust. The only hitch is that I have to wait a week for it to be delivered. 😛 ...  

I remember you had said you'd be interested in getting a King Seiko in a similar color. This is, obviously, even better........ Cheers, Filip

. . . but when I saw this GS in the metal, all caution flew out the window. Art

I don't go to see expensive things too often ........

. . . but not this time ;-) . . .

. . . in da house!

. . . in Seiko's 'til then . . .

...  

. . . here's a photo taken fifteen years ago of Cazalea's . . . . . . on my wrist. ...  

. . . on SBGW001 - is that correct, or are there significant differences other than dial print? Curiously, Art

. . . is essentially identical, and that 231 is an update on 001. (Dial script aside, of course.) Art

. . . very close to this. I might've asked for a bit more brushing, but that's about it. Art

I´m sure you will enjoy it so much. Well done! I specially love the so clean dial with no inscriptions than brand name and logo. GS makes some wonderful watches. Best, Abel.

. . . I shouldn't have been so quick on the draw. But as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Art

. . . Grand Seiko's current production, but apparently not in this smaller 36.5 mm size. My recently departed SBGH 279 . . . . . . is significantly larger, at least on my wrist. Art ...  

It is just too good to pass! Congrats and cheers to you, my friend! Alex

. . . this GS is right there with the Flightmaster . . . . . . when it comes to pushing all my buttons. Warmest, Art ...  

. . . many of my pool cues, . . . . . . that's for sure! ...  

. . . with buffalo horn trim. The shaft . . . . . . is bocote. And quite possibly the first bocote shaft ever made, anywhere. ...  

All future posts should include mood music!

My 289 says hello ...  

. . . separately? The supplied strap for mine is a touch long, and the boutique confirmed they have short straps available. Perhaps the bracelet would be a better way to go. Art

I’ll just say the bracelet is a bit of a pain to switch out if you do find one and it lacks any micro adjustments. It’s a nice bracelet but nothing too special about it and I believe the strap is more historically accurate.
