The Grand Seiko SBGN001, dibs if you're flipping plz
Not sure about the 2000-2010 decade, I mostly remember oversized fashion watches from that period, but 2010-2020 was dominated by reissues from the 50-60's and faux patina, and they will probably all...
I prefer the black one. It looks good on the product photo, but this is just bad taste.

512 on a custom 74 strap. Perfect size, it doesn't get any better than this.

Any long term opinions on this strap?
I had a Brady sailcloth strap many years ago, but it was very stiff and felt more like plastic. I threw it in the bin after a few weeks of "breaking in". I...
Got 2 new straps for the 512. Which one looks best?

Did you know it’s called Black Friday because it’s the one day in the year that stores historically brought themselves back in the black in a single day?
Ah yes, the Watch to End All Watches. I have a box full of those.
Figures. A hand-wound movement with screw-down crown and pushers. Who would buy that?
I had one for nearly 2 years. It's a great watch to wear and to look at, but ultimately the faux vintage lume killed the watch for me, and I didn't really like the non-tapered bracelet.

38mm Navitimer. Take note Breitling, it doesn't need to be bigger than this.

A golden bullbar really finishes the look on this one.

The negative display on the aged IP is rather badly readable, and has slight bleeding on the edges. Especially the bleeding was bothering me in a €1000 watch. I much prefer a positive display.
I don't know who Jayz is, but apparently he's just trying to get on the waiting list at his AD, buying all PM crap no one wants.
No, it's the DW-5035D, the 35th anniversary limited. It does look pretty similar to the new titanium model.
I was thinking of buying the titanium, but managed to snag this one from eBay for 1/10th...

They are really good quality, but I should note they are not suitable for small wrists. The end link hangs over and makes the effective lug to lug size much bigger. I find the resin straps more...
Actually, most of the time it looks like this

It's too similar to the 35th anniversary , and that one's 1/10th of the price.

That looks great indeed
Rapport London does some decent boxes for the price. I can recommend the Captain 12.

What second hand?

I have mine on a pig skin racing strap from Atelier Romane, looks just like the vintage Corfam strap.
I also have a thicker black rallye Pav strap.
I find the Tag strap too stiff for my liking.

I sold my GW-5000, but ended up missing a square G-Shock in the collection so I grabbed a GMW-B5000V from the sales corner.
