no seconds hand... this would be yr next watch bro..

Bro i have the same feeling as u... i loves all my watches but everytime i can only wear one.. usually rotate between 3 watches.. feel 3 is just nice.... 1 rolex .. 1 patek.. 1 AP perfect.. problem with AP is water resistance 50m only and AP to me personally is not reliable enough.

I'm just keeping this and one dress watch. Miss my AP. But mountain only can have one dragon. Can't have two mountains

Can't buy a Sub at GS Snowflake's price point (assuming both are brand new).

Because they appreciate the workmanship of a grand seiko
And a sub is just plain boring to some.

Thanks both.
Guess I look back either SRP773K1 blue or SRP779K1 red blue both metallic strap. But 45mm diameter vs 43mm quite big ?

Is there any shop that still carries the old tudor black bay noir with rose logo.. starting to miss the one I sold off last year zzzz. Yearning to get one back. Most of the shops all selling the newer thicker variant with the shield logo..

yeah, such discussion pop out between my friends too..
ppl who ask such question have the stereotype that ang mo makes better things than asians..

swiss better than a $10 seiko (seikos are all $10 cheapo watches to them)
ferrari is better than a nissan skyline GTR

etc etc.

but people who knows their stuffs will know that Seiko is just as beautiful (the red GS with see thru caseback and the movement is color tinted(??), is even nicer than some rolexes liao lo) and accurate...

but ya la, end of the day, its ur money, you are wearing it for yourself

but...u wont go wrong with a GS la

Lol i tried calling many many outlets, cortina branches, hour glass, all watches, watch palace, sincere watch, watches of switzerland all dont have black bay black bezel rose logo ETA version on bracelet. Some still have the leather strap version which im not keen on

Now searching online saw this US seller Davidsw got one on bracelet. very tempted to buy. Anyone buy from Davidsw?

Dunno, not interested in Rolex, always thinking of getting a Pelagos though.
