The Watch Thread - Part 13

[delrosa81]

This is a very nice piece in My opinion. V refreshing change from the usual tag design language.

Taken at the National Museum of Tokyo.

SBGW253

personally, I love the new look. The dial is so much clearer now.

 

[rachdanon]

Thanks! Your uncle has a nice collection for sale!



Thanks alot! I still prefer the 5712 though, find it nicer



5712 has Stainless Steel with bracelet $43,500, WG, $57,800 and RG is $57,800. Prices are retail.



Only the WG and RG comes with leather straps. Stainless steel is only in bracelet.

Wut bro? U paid 50k+ and you prefer 5712.....if I pay that amount it has to be perfect, and Id wait. Dont mean to pour cold water bro but....argghh the annual calender also nice mah.

old or new version for snowflake? I still prefer the old version as I believe it was designed with the SEIKO logo in mind.

but for the new 2017 models, they look really good without the SEIKO logo.

perhaps the "Grand Seiko" at the top, with "GS" at the bottom wil look better for the snowflake?

While I'm all for dropping the "Seiko" from the dial, I don't feel much for the new lineup layout.

The "Grand Seiko" logo at 12 o'clock has fonts which look off to me.

Hi everyone, newbie here.
Currently looking for my first dress watch and the Tissot Visodate (white) is very appealing to me. But price range is pretty high so I'm wondering if bros out here got any suggestions?

 

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

Everyone please relax. This tirade of Team GX vs Team TT01 has gone for too long. I am not sure why the moderator has not done anything

-what gx did has no impact on u. you did not suffer any losses. so wat areu aiming for by harping on the issue? popularity? morals?

Are you then implying, that it is right - since TT01 did not suffer any financial or emotional loss? The fact is GX did something not perceived to be right initially and apologised later. Many have chosen to move on, except for TT01 quite obviously.

This is not a question, just rhetorical.

- most people feel that what GX did is NOT AS BAD AS whatyou make it out to be. And in societies, it’s the opinion of the majority whichbecomes the accepted norm/”truth”. What u alone think doesn’t matter to othersif they do not think the same.

who is "most people"? people here? So majority bashing TT01 makes him the bad guy?

Again, this is not a question, just rhetorical.

I do not know these two gentlemen personally (GX & TT01) but these recent events have turned sour. Which is shame, because both of them actually do contribute to the watch thread in a positive way.

Let's all move on. Those who are irritated with the squabbles, just place your nemesis-elect on the "ignore" button.

They both won't be singing kumbaya anytime soon (would loved to be proved wrong though...who's going to offer the olive branch first?)

please everyone, for the good of the watch thread. let this saga end

Seiko Cocktail and Orient Bambino, both can be cheaper that Tissort Visodate.

what i did was wrong and uncalled for, i apologised but i don't see a reason for a guy to keep barking about it. but since he's there to do so, i am fine. my street cred speaks for me. i seriously don't give a damn what he think.
i have already moved on but he seems so pissed about, for what i also have no idea. so i just let him rant so he can feel better.

who is "most people"? people here? So majority bashing TT01 makes him the bad guy?

everyone wants tt01 to stop, he doesn't. he just came back to bark at people who gave their opinion that i am not a d1ck that tt01 speaks off.
but then again who cares? i am not a dealer. i am a consumer like everyone else, except the fact i buy and sell as i wish. most people who buy my watches are not even from here.
i shared good deals but with all the saga going on, people think I wanna make a quick buck out of people in here, so i decided not to share too much already.
i only share what i wanna sell, whoever gets my watch at good rate, good for you.

Again, this is not a question, just rhetorical.

already ended but tt01 comes in and bark at every opportunity he gets. LOL.
well tt01 can put me on the ignore list. I don't wanna put him on the ignore list because some of his post makes me laugh. so yea..

end ah end.

Am not implying anyone is wrong. It's just a balanced presentation on why his stubbornness on bringing up the issue almost every single day is not helping him even IF he is right. Like harp so long for and getting bashed for what? What do u get at the end of day even if u managed to convince everyone that gx is a cheat? My point is most reasonable people see that it's lame to do what tt is doing and the problem lies with tt's eq.

Everyone happy.

I usualy like cleaner dials, but this somehow seems to be missing something. the old logo was thicker and stood out proudly in relief, maybe i am used to it ☺

And there's no way to swap between leather and bracelet for the Nautilus.
