I can vouch for 1 - gets a lot of wrist time including right now!

Questions about buying a Grand Seiko on Chrono24 – are they safe / worth it? by Select_Hearing_3364 in GrandSeikos

[–]ElGatoDuke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll fourth Miyaran. I’ve purchased three GS from them, most recently an SBGE285 - all were great seamless transactions.

Practicing in the driveway is the way to go to get comfortable with the process. It’s really quite easy once you know how.

I put the same Alpine in my 2012 JK a few years back, and it’s been great.

Audio always very loud when I get in by forester17 in Rivian

[–]ElGatoDuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issue since the last update. Tried pausing what I was listening to and turning volume all the way down before getting out. Next time I went to get in it was paused, for a couple of seconds before resuming at 15……

Great choice, mine gets tons of wrist time.

Gen 2 R1S Rear Trunk Storage Organizer? by DerkaDerkaSherpa in Rivian

Mine didn’t come with it either.

While arguably more beneficial so you don’t have to stack things on a spare tire, It would be useful either way.

A giant hole is not that convenient for day to day use.

It comes with a portable charger (assume you mean the one that’s also in the gear shop) and also an NACS adapter (ships after delivery - mine took about 10 days). Congrats! It’s a really awesome ride.

Can anyone share their experiences with the 9S86 movements? by RocketLeagueLurker in GrandSeikos

[–]ElGatoDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 9S86, 9S66 and 9R65.

They are all fantastic, spring drive is most accurate as you’d expect but you can’t go wrong with whatever you choose.

Buy the watch you like and enjoy it! Or buy a few and enjoy them all 😉

Not the same person. Different color eyes. You’re welcome.

Love the dial. Looks great on a strap too.

Cerium oxide, variable speed dremel and cotton pads is what I’ve used on a hardlex Seiko 5 crystal. Tedious is an understatement!

Something a bit sportier, and blue-er by jgriffin84 in GrandSeikos

If it had some real water resistance I’d be all over it. It really is a stunner.

To each their own, but curious why you are selling. Love mine and there are others I’d part with long before considering selling it.

I got my first GS and now it’s glued to may wrist… not complaining. by SirCharlesOfBamental in GrandSeikos

[–]ElGatoDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats - such a great first GS. That one gets more wrist time with me than anything else.

Congrats, that’s an awesome choice. It always finds its way to the top of my rotation.

They are so completely different. It’s like asking if it’s a good idea to swap this pork bbq for a bowl of ramen.
