I’ll send you a bill.

I think there is probably a VENN diagram of folks who say: "I would buy a GS, Rolex, or Omega watch if it didnt have the power reserve, cyclops, or helium escape valve." respectively. These are clearly design elements that identify those brands so the are here to stay. Personally I like the wabi sabi of the power reserve indicator as a provides a measure of premediated "inperfection" and serves as an additional marking of the transience of time that makes you appreciate even more the beauty of the dial and all its elements.

As long as we enjoy the process.

Also agree, from an owner of 3 GS, only one really fits the dimensions of a true dress watch, the SBGV238 and that's probably because it's a quartz. The other two whilst smart are rather bulky which can be annoying.

I have 3 GS watches and hate the clasps on all of them.

Literally everything you just said. Although I can imagine why they don't do any of this. To be more like the higher end brands and differentiate from competition. Even though it's at the cost of the user experience.

And move the damn power reserve to the back like on the Eichi II.

As a big guy with big wrists I like the thickness of some GS, certainly the Quartz and SD are fine and the new hi beat movement will and is reducing the thickness of the hi beat watches. The White Birch is considerably thinner than the old generation hi beats. I don’t find the thickness of my blue snowflake an issue at all, the lug position renders the thickness a non issue IMO, but like I say I do have big wrists. People complain about the thickness of GS dress watches but nobody bats an eyelid at the hockey pucks that A Lange & Sohne make.

Yeah, I learned the hard way which is sometimes the only way I learn anything at all.

Excellent choice

It really is.

As with all GS, it comes alive in natural light.

Nicely done

Thanks, Daniel

Wow, great timing and great choice.

Really enjoy your channel

@@michaelriera6277 thank you 🙏!!!

Thanks, James.

Do it. I have the SBGM221 (similar case and indices) and it absolutely sings. Pure GS charm.

The Sharp Edged series especially.

A sadly common story

Gotta pay big for no pr.

For me, it’s the colour. I can’t unsee urinal deodoriser block blue when looking at it. It’s a Piscuit blue dial... also, never trust the yellow snowflake dial.

I agree

Preach

I had the same opinion at first but after having one with the power reserve, it grows on you. Now, I think it looks weird without one.

Quite a few watch brands do the same. It makes it easier to change the watch straps.

Never had a problem

Thanks

@@YoureTerrific Thanks!

I had no choice! GS made me do it.

I would check out the just released SBGY007. It’s money.

@@MistaRhoi Now THAT'S what i'm talking about!

I like this pr window

And only $25,000!

What turned you off from it?

@@Jaysun1 So when I looked at this watch, I found it in the Las Vegas Venetian Resort. That particular watch must have been tried on by 100 people because of the strap's condition. Regardless I didn't care for the shape of the case and lugs, and I also prefer a watch to have more contrast between the dial, hands, and markers. I did like the Godzilla watch they had, but I don't like it's price point. Over in another resort hotel (Wynn) I found another GS dealer, where I held the green spring drive GMT. Again I put it back. GS to me isn't all that much improvement over regular Seiko. It's not thousands of dollars of improvement. If you want spring drive, then you are stuck largely with Grand Seiko, but there are a few Seiko models that have it, albeit for thousands of dollars. In the end it's your choice and you have to buy what makes you happy.

Its already 5800

That’s what she said. Sorry.
