Horological Meandering

During the last 10 years, I have been asked two times about the Patek I wore. The other time I had a Nautilus and the other time an Aquanaut. Obviously those are getting too common. I wore a Rolex from 1986 till about 2000. Tens of times people noticed an...  

But the chances of someone recognising it for what it is in Europe - apart from at watch GTGs - is between slim and remote

Always good to have something only you appreciate. Though my Reverso has only ever drawn one comment in 16 years & that was from someone who's father was a jeweller. I still keep looking at Grand Seiko, an awful lot of watch & something most people wouldn...  

The quality, esp the dial work, is insane for the money! ...  

This is my equivalent from about 10 years ago. Even today I love it. Soon after I got it I put my Zenith El Primero up for sale. The ad was answered locally by a big-wheel administrator at my wife’s school district. We made an appointment to meet for coff...  

You both obviously have good taste. And I’ve never seen on on someone’s wrist. Not even in the Sydney boutique!

in a nice spa hotel. Mostly swimming and spending time in restaurants and for the women some treatments. Here GS is absolutely the right choice. Best, Kari

Only when looking closer, one starts to see the difference. Best, Kari

They are just too provocative for a daily beater. RMs surprisingly are great for everyday especially those ultra flat series.. GS and Rolex are great everyday watches too. 👍🏻

not my cup of tea. I'm simply too old and conservative. Best, Kari

I no longer wear Rolex, even though it’s the brand that got me into this hobby. My limited edition GMT is on my wrist right now, it’s beautiful and very satisfying. Without a doubt a keeper I think. Enjoy my friend! Hopefully you’ll bond with this one and... 

But Rolex gets a lot of attention. It's much easier to wear Patek as an example as nobody really realises what it is. A GS is "just" a Seiko. Best, Kari

Yes you’re right. I think I could spot a Patek from about 100m, but then again, look at me! One might think I have a passing interest... It is certainly much better to fly under the radar though.

I can spot any Patek from distance but not a GS. Best, Kari

Simply gorgeous. Enjoy yours dear Kari. Best wishes Alkiro

Plus the new AD offered me a great price; about 4k. Best, Kari

Do you know some components of Seiko watches are manufacture/process in 🇸🇬 upto few years ago if it has not shift it operation to cheaper venue.

He even when Japan parent plant.

Ever since I started looking at them, I was hooked. They keep absolutely the best tome out of any watch in my winder. And the worsmanship and pure tactile quality is great. Nice, understated and appreciated by the connoisseurs.

but I agree with everything else you stated. Best, Kari

But they seem to be miles ahead (meaning more precise, not fast, hahaha).

If GS can beat that, I'll start to speak Japanese. Best, Kari

It’s an eye test.

on Seiko these days. Been there done that.

Great colours!

I think the GMT complication is very well executed. Best, Kari

I feel the same way about Seikos when I wear them. It's for the owner's / wearer's eye only all the best and warmest wishes, - - Seeks
