Say hi to Ken in case I am not too late 👋🏻

. . . and will probably see him one more time before he leaves Thursday.

. . . the Godfather of Grand Seiko service and regulate it. ...  

Sheer envy made me hunt high and low for one of these vintage Grand Seikos, after Art posted his a decade ago. We must have the only two in North America!

Gorgeous 56GS and gorgeous photo!

The Awesome Citizen VQ75-431 Hello Kitty Diver. Feast your eyes... I heard that wrist shots with sushi backgrounds were requested... The Hello Kitty ecosystem is unbelievably extensive Why should girls have all the fun? Look at that Lume! ...  

Speak of extensive 😂😂😂 And you probably are the only one in this case 😉 But I can hopefully match you with a Japanese watch no one else here likely has: ...  

Hello Kitty has a pretty deep bench. ...

. . . the thread will be closed a few hours from now. Bitchin' GS, and nice match with the grey NATO, a combo not seen often and definitely not often enough. Art
