    That Moser is phenomenal, I have only ever seen their dress watches, that’s a head turner

    This is the elusive Moser diver which wasn't meant to be produced, right? Congrats! How to the bracelets on both compare? It also looks rather big compared to the GP....

    It is pretty rare, they made 50 pieces so quite hard to find. It is only 42.8mm but dwarfs the GP which is 42mm. Some kind of optical illusion! The bracelet is chunky and well made, 22mm tapering to 19mm. Fits absolutely flush to the case. It has 8 position micro adjustment whilst on the wrist giving up to 10mm of adjustment all within a very modest size clasp. Superb engineering.

    The GP bracelet is full ceramic and looks amazing. No micro adjustment but has half links which help getting a good fit. It has to be seen to be appreciated. Beautiful.

    I reckon the bezel helps compared to the Pioneer in making it wear better (not all dial). A watch I would like to get some hands on time at some point. Looks fantastic!

    I set my mind to trying a Grand Seiko probably around the time of the logo change a couple of years ago, but it's taken until now for the stars to align and for me to find the right one. In the meantime of course the brand has seen even more of an explosion in popularity, so apologies for posting yet another GS!

    I know the power reserve indicator can be a bit marmite for some folk (not sure why this is especially so for GS more than other brands - maybe because the dials are just so exquisite?), but I'd actually loose the date before the power reserve - in the metal I find it's not that intrusive.

    Close! It shares a lot of the Snowflake's DNA, but it's actually one of the four 'Seasons' US-only editions. Winter, to be exact.

    Haven't been so excited about an incoming for a long, long time. This is truely a rare beast, referred to as the unicorn by Alpinist collectors. Many thanks to Mr Chef for alerting me to this watch being listed. It is the Seiko SARB013 from 2006 or White Alpinist if you prefer.

    Just dropped through the letterbox: Zuludiver Perforated Sailcloth with beige stitching. Really liking this it blends well with the Ocean Vintage Red dial markers.

    I'd originally ordered a Zuludiver Rubber strap from watchgecko but sent it back as it was too thick (nurse!). Got this as a replacement from WG after a week duration turnaround with their returns service.

    Also got a Leather Steinhart strap on its way from SC so I'll see how that compares when it arrives later this week.

    Just received this SubC from SC.
    Really love the clean look without the Cyclops.

    Great pick up. I have been very tempted indeed by this and the Spring version. Lovely dials.

    Spring looks more subtle (no bad thing), and I love the hint of cherry blossom pink when it catches the light in the right way.

    If you do not mind me asking, how did you source the GS? I was in the States in October, in NYC and Boston, where ADs had sold out of yours and the Spring (vs the blue and green dials, which were still available).

    I got in touch with a dealer in June very soon after they were announced. Must have been one of the first to register an interest.

    It’s been waiting for me for more than a month but I was overseas.

    Yeah I jumped on it cos I’ve been wanting to try a GS for a while but just waiting for the right one to come along. Another member kindly made the intro to a dealer down in the South.

    Did you call into the GS boutique on Madison when you were in NYC? I was deeply underwhelmed when I visited recently.

    The NYC boutique was indeed a bit small, but the salesperson’s enthusiasm did a lot to offset that. Nice guy, great name - Weston Phillips III. I am hoping to get a Spring via the GS AD in Andover, MA, with a discount too!

    Indeed. Perhaps bubble wrap?

    That is stunning. But what's it like in the metal? I tried some on in FH in st pauls as they just got a new grand seiko stand and felt well of the watches were too polished and shiny for me
