Seiko

While I am a huge fan of the former double logo setup used by Grand Seiko for many decades, I have to say I was smitten by the watch that brought about the rebranding to Grand Seiko only (with no Seiko on the dial anymore) - the SGBR305. The titanium case...  

Love the Green Strap ❤️

And it was a bit of all the rage when it came out 😊

Of pairing it with a green strap 😂😂😂

And we seem to share the odd piece, too 👍🏻👏🏻😊

Now you reminded me there’s a Substack article on the rise of GS I was intending to read 😁👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

Was my last really active incoming period in 2023, where this, the Amvox 2 and the Chopard LUC 8 HF came in. Been relatively quiet since 😊

I guess so called ‘horofatigue’ has set in some time ago. There is a handful of pieces left I would like to add but nothing compulsive about it anymore. If or when they come it will be a moment of joy but the yearning for them is more muted than in the ea... 

I actually experienced a bout of horofatigue, too, about 10 years ago and it lasted several years, but I seem to have dived right back into the compulsive watch miasma ! 😅

Good to know that there are watches on the other end of it 👍🏻😉

I know what answer my wife would give 😉

I also think the date window is very well executed. Nice looking GS. Best, Emmanuel

Old school GS approach of making the one, or only watch one needs. Nowadays a rare endeavor 😊👍🏻
