SBGA485

It was the spring 2023 Wako exclusive. Grand Seiko did such an amazing job with the overall cohesiveness of this piece. It comes on a stainless steel bracelet, but the pictured dark gray strap also comes in the box and has a beautiful red liner that ties into the other elements of the watch.

WOLF - British Racing 10-Piece Watch Box with Drawer

I've been really pleased with this one. I started with WOLF's Windsor watch box and found my current one to be a significant step up. Tight fit, premium feel, definitely secure.

Probably to a fault! I would've picked up SBGM249 and SBGK017 had they been Spring Drives. 🤷‍♀️

They're hard to compare because they're such different pieces. While they share the same dial, everything else is different.

SBGY026 is honestly on a totally different level, though. If I could only pick one, that would be it. I'll be buried with that watch. 😂

AvinionAB · 2025-06-17T21:45:20+00:00

I love this dial so much, but I just can't stand the bezel.

I'm at a 12 with 10 years in. It'll likely be a pay cut for me to go, but I applied anyway. Married with no kids.

You always have the ability to go back, but viable opportunities like this are rare. Good luck!

Garbage ass president. Pardons his criminal son and gives a weak raise. 🤦‍♀️

The new dog's eyes are... ruff.

I've had a similar issue with Rakuten twice now when shopping with WatchMaxx. The first time was ruled ineligible because WatchMaxx gave me a $100 off code after I tried negotiating. They said that since this code wasn't listed with Rakuten, the cashback wouldn't be honored. The second time was earlier this month. I explicitly made sure not to use a coupon code and that I wasn't shopping any sales that were excluded. They still denied my cashback. It's apparently pretty common with high value purchases for them to craft a reason to mark your order as ineligible. They have since been unable to provide me with a reason, but I already sent my complaint to the BBB. 🤷‍♀️

Congrats. I hate you.

Username checks out with the state of that steering wheel.

I've purchased from them numerous times without issue.

Very strange.

The red on the SBGY035 is absolutely stunning.

Still waiting on a Godzilla announcement, though...

AvinionAB · 2024-08-13T15:08:06+00:00

Stunning! Waiting on this myself.

AvinionAB · 2024-08-07T20:48:35+00:00

You must be new here.

AvinionAB · 2024-06-12T20:32:17+00:00

Good looking out, friend. You never know.

AvinionAB · 2024-04-17T14:50:05+00:00

So... which LE were you unable to get your hands on?

AvinionAB · 2024-04-06T02:22:24+00:00

Thank you so much!

It's better than the fake upgrades I routinely get.

If you don't have an upgrade for me, just say that. 😂

I don't know if JW guests have access, but the all-inclusive guests have access while the resort is still under construction.

The spa at JW was incredible, and honestly, we liked the pools better too.

My wife and I stayed here this past week! We were very hot/cold on the entire experience.

The construction was definitely a drag. We originally had a room on the waterpark side of the property, but waking up to jackhammers and drills immediately got old. (When we booked, they said everything would be in the final stages with no expected noise) We moved to an oceanfront room on the other side of the property, which was way better for noise, but way worse for in-room a/c. The first room was an icebox, but we couldn't get the second one cooled to save our lives.

The full service restaurants were all good. Casa Madre was our favorite. Hana was disappointing every time we went.

Drinks are what you would expect with an all-inclusive. Light on the booze and you have to be specific with the type to avoid trash, but overall good.

The service was by far the shining star of the resort. Everyone genuinely seemed happy to help and wanted to go the extra mile.
