These ultra-runners are hugely impressive, albeit I can't begin to fathom the mindset/motivation for wanting to do what they are doing. The cost in later life for wear and tear on joints etc must...
I can only agree.
The 36/37mm quartz three handers are the only models I even like in the Grand Seiko range, so discontinuing them sadly makes Grand Seiko irrelevant as a brand for me.
Can't...
Sicily is lovely- especially Taormina and Syracusa
I think the remote is the same, just wired instead of wireless.
Anything BenQ is probably the best desk lighting option on the market in my book.
Everything is just really slow on her machine...
I've got the BenQ eReading Desk Lamp which I find a bit more flexible than the screenbar style fixed to the top of the monitor. Highly recommended !
Wife has the BenQ Screenbar Plus on her iMac,...
This is the only IWC watch I've ever liked ! Not enough to actually buy one though, but then I'm not a chronograph guy ... but if I was ... :-)
My first acoustic guitar was a second-hand BM (Barnes & Mullins) Espana and bought for £70 from a small guitar shop in Chichester on recommendation of the chap who was going to be my guitar teacher....
In hindsight that would have been even better ! 20 Bar too ... <<edit : ah, not multi-band 6 or Solar though !!! >>
Oh well ... :-)
Well done the OP for taking the plunge and a great choice !
For me, the quartz is more accurate, slightly slimmer case, better aesthetics on the dial printing, and a much cheaper entry point than the automatic. That's why the 2264 is a "win" for me vs the...
Acquired one of these recently as well (a couple of pages back on this thread). Really nice aren't they !
Seems crazy given how much we tend to spend on other watches that one of these can look so...
I didn't get into nice watches until my 50th year, and my big regret is that I didn't reach that point 25 years earlier, as I'd have saved my self a fortune on the watches I like (almost all of which...
That's a super pic of a great watch.
I bought one of these in December after a WTB on here and have worn it every day since ... a definite keeper !
Quartz for the win I reckon. A small detail...
Agreed - looks great.
I just can't get my head around a Speedy at £7,600. In my mind that's overpriced by a factor of at least two, if not three ... so an easy pass for me
I've been using them for 22 years and I'm still on my second one - pretty good durability I'd say.
I've had more taps go south than adaptors LOL
I don't think I'd ever buy one, but these do look absolutely incredible, and hopefully one day I'll get the chance to at least try one on in the flesh.
I do have the Bulova Accutron Spaceview, and...
Wolf used to do reasonably priced stackable watch boxes but seem to be discontinued now. Shame ...
You could buy the lower tiers without a lid, and just have a lid on the one at the top. 6 or 12...
It's great that we get the choice, and very nice to see Solar and Multi-band 6 options in the smaller size as well.
I see yours is 20 Bar too ... the BGD-S5600 is only 10 Bar !
I got the similarly-sized BGD-S5600 for the wife.
Here's a comparison pic vs my GW-5000U on my 6.5" wrist.

Nice little watch,...
Just something else to go wrong in my book.
You can get all the utility from one of those inexpensive tap adapter attachment thingies. I've bought them from Lakeland in the past, but even cheaper...
Basically a bracelet with clasp and micro-adjust to match the case. Comfortable and less faff than the supplied plastic band, especially if you keep your watches in a watch box (easier to get on/off...
Good topic - enjoyed your write up.
I had 4 Smiths at one point.
PRS-25 ; PRS-25W ; Everest Expedition ; PRS-29a.
If I had to rank them in order it would be :
1. PRS-25
Another vote for the GW-5000U
I like that the colour scheme on the face is neutral. Makes the watch more versatile to match whatever clothing in my book.
And when you add the Combi bracelet...
That is a huge improvement.
Never understood all this polishing fetish that is all the rage with watch companies these days ... makes any watch look cheap in my opinion ...
Same here.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't get all three colour options when they were £200 or whatever it is they were.
