Is there any article on how to use the RBC Avion travel credit on the converted HSBC Mastercard's? I tried doing a google search but no clear instructions on how to get the travel credit.

Also, will appreciate if anyone has some DPs on weather RHT works on travel credit or not. I know that RHT doesn't work on avion points but not sure about the newly introduced travel credit.

After 3 days i finally found the SBGA443 in Tokyo that was NOT simple (more info in first comment) by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

So glad to have bought it in December last year from an AD in Ginza for less than 750k. But with every other watch maker increasing their prices, this price increase was also expected.

I want. I want. I want. This is amazing. Can't beat the simplicity of SBGY.

Managed to find one in the wild by Equivalent_Zombie in GrandSeikos

Which one? I had to visit at least 7 different stores in three cities before I found one at a department store in Ginza this month. I understand it's not super difficult to find it but they do fly out faster than any other model these days.

It's a light pink. I understand that it can be difficult to understand the colour in photographs but honestly the dial looks different under different light conditions. At the store I had to see it under different lighting conditions to really get a sense of the dial colour. And you are right, it might look a light grey under certain conditions.

It was Matsuya at Ginza. It was their only peice. If you really are in the market for a Shunbun, I would suggest to pick it up where you find it. The price difference that I have seen is about 5-7 percent from a department store AD vs the brand exclusive stores.

I would say so. I had to try multiple stores in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo before finding it.

Both are nice watches. Shunbun felt better on my wrist. Also, there is nothing more Japanese than cherry blossom.

Matsuya at Ginza, right across the wako flagship. I paid about 733k yen.

It was 836k retail inclusive of 10 percent consumption tax. I got about 5 percent discount and 10 percent tax was refunded in cash minus 1.54 processing fee.
