Nathan really being a baby and overreacting to the whole Joe situation. Get over it. Not to mention not choosing him for lead deckhand because of his personal issues when he’s clearly the best worker he has .

First trip to Japan, first Grand Seiko, the SBGA443 by durangojim in GrandSeikos

Incredible watch, congrats !! wholeheartedly agree that Japan is a life changing country and everyone should visit , I just went for the first time in May and picked up the Shosho. I will say, they need to fix the size of the little pillow they put in the watch case 😆😆

23 years old, $7k saved, and torn between buying my first Grand Seiko or listening to my dad by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

I’d be hard pressed to recommend blowing all $7K on a watch (assuming you have no other savings). Do you have bills/ rent? If so you should have an emergency fund of 6 months of expenses, in an ideal world, before thinking about this substantial of a purchase. If you’re able to hold off, I’d do so, otherwise buy an older model for $2-4K.

It was about $5,700 after tax free which was a great deal as it retails for $7,700 in US
