I had to give up my pet hydra of the previous honorific but it was but a small price to pay 
There has been my first grand feu enamel watch - the Seiko Presage SRQ019J1...
) and I am very excited about 2017. My crystal ball tells me that 2017 will bring my first Montblanc watch, with the actual logo sported on the dial (as opposed to Minerva). It may bring the odd additional Seiko or Chopard. Or something completely new and unexpected. Whatever it is, it promises to be a great year with you here and I am looking forward to every single moment here, at GTGs and in all other watch related situations.The Grand Seiko SBGH035 is a limited edition model that features a distinctive dial and a high-beat movement. This reference is part of Grand Seiko's mechanical collection, known for its precision and robust construction. It represents a specific aesthetic within the brand's offerings, appealing to collectors who appreciate subtle design variations and technical performance. The watch maintains the core principles of Grand Seiko's design language while offering a unique visual identity through its dial. It is a notable example of the brand's approach to limited production runs.
The SBGH035 is housed in a stainless steel case, characteristic of many Grand Seiko models, and features a sapphire crystal. It is powered by a high-beat mechanical movement, which operates at a higher frequency than standard movements, contributing to its accuracy. The case dimensions are consistent with other watches in its series, providing a balanced presence on the wrist. The movement offers a substantial power reserve, ensuring reliable operation over an extended period. The construction emphasizes durability and precision engineering.

GTGs, becoming a moderator, some nice catches... What more can you ask? Let's wish 2017 will allow us to live crazy moments as well! All the best, Nicolas
Also for your patience with my many questions related to my new role Have an enjoyable time in Paris and a great, healthy, prosperous and watch filled 2017! Would be lovely to meet up, too
Thank you so much Nico, for having played such an active part in it! Always a pleasure All the best to you and your family!
It's great to have you as the newest Moderator here. You are already "kicking ass". Can't wait to see what happens when you get comfortable in your new role. I am trying to figure out how to express my joy that another admirer of tube meat has reached the PuristS pinnacle but I don't want to refer to you as a sausage-eater or sausage-lover. Oh well. Cheers! Here's to a better 2017 if possible! Mike
As a card carrying carnivore, how could it be otherwise! Been a great pleasure interacting with you here in 2016 and 2017 will be even better! Just wait till the MPGs get a hold of you, then life will change as dramatically as can be! For the better Thanks!
Who cares? A wonderful 2017 to you and all yours. Cheers, Nilo
