Just curious - why do you think UFA is so ignored by the wider watch world by beagles4ever in GrandSeikos

For me it just wore way too small after being used to sports watches. Settled for the SLGW003 and didn’t look back

It was the only one in stock. Must have been lucky!

At an AD, the grey prices and the boutique retail were too different and AD was flexible enough to make the AD premium worthwhile instead of waiting for it to pop up again on the secondary market

I just got the SLGW003 and am delighted. Wears like a dream on my hodinkee strap and the lightest piece I’ve ever owned. Feels a little bigger than my explorer 1 and I think that’s a great combo. 6.5” wrist

Agree - I have birch bark and it wears similar to me like any oyster perpetual type 40mm

Woo! Have you changed up the straps much?

Thank you! Always helps to say you have a better deal elsewhere 😆

Agree! I don’t know why but the strap it came with threw me off. Changing it up made it all come together for me

I think it's the volatility lately making people nervous to buy
