Thank you …

for a comprehensive summary of what is the Tentagraph line from GS. I personally like the Tokyo Lion variant a lot; most interesting multi-faceted case design with full Zaratsu-polish treatment. Haven’t had a chance to see one in the flesh even though it

The recent U.F.A. divers have been made

without a date so hopefully the Tentagraph will be made without a date someday. That said, it doesn’t really bother me here: the rest of the Tokyo Lion design easily compensates for this little flaw. Not a watch I could wear and not my style, but I still

Thank you for that overview, Emmanuel.

I find the colors on the SLGC002 are appealing, especially with that distressed croc strap. I purchased the SLGC009, but decided that I could not live with the jump of the small-seconds hand upon actuation/stoppage of the chrono and ended up returning it.

Yes the faceted lugs are somehow reminiscent of the new Tentagraph,

even if it has a bolder, stronger, punchier aesthetic. Best, Emmanuel credit: Monochrome

After an unsuccessful trip to the Seiko Boutique… had to peruse own collection again, the SPB069 today 🇯🇵

Wanting to take a look at the new Bamford fettled Time Sonar re-edition by Seiko (as posted by India Whisky Charlie the other day) and having found myself close to a Seiko Boutique, the course of action was predictable. The result was sadly unsatisfactory

NW[GS]A … the “Tokyo Lion” Tentagraph (Another unusual specimen)

I had my fair share of misgivings about this most unconventional of GSs when I first saw press photos of it a few months ago (as I suspect did a good many others), but once lured into its danger-laden lair (that would be the nearby AD, with full GS select
