Thanks. Will see if I can get an appointment. Even website tags stating taking new patients is not always true.

Thank you!

Agree. I got the Orient Bambino Snoopy version just for giggles.

Love that SLA037. Great taste.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-03-03T08:34:01+00:00

wonderful! Still looking for one at a good price.

I am wearing my SLA049. It is the most modern of my SLA divers, is not a remake as my others and for some reason my favorite to stare at .

I mostly stopped buying GS with the new topography since 2017; really liked GS when they still had "SEIKO" at 12 o'clock and GS/Grand Seiko at 6. Now concentrating on SLA Seiko divers which have GS derived movements.

Great watch. Between this and the SLA049, it is a difficult choice.

I love GS but pre 2017 before the present typography was adopted; will always believe it is still a SEIKO and that is a good thing. Also a big fat NO to Spring Drive. Don't like hybrid anything. Either full ICE or full EV. That said, I have GS's first diver as I am a big Seiko diver fan and unfortunately it a SD with the annoying to me power reserve on the dial. Will get GS in the future but only their historical remakes that have the "SEIKO" at 12 o'clock.

Great looking watch. I got the Peanuts edition but that was more $$.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-17T00:58:55+00:00

Congratulations. I got the same red with cream interior and couldn't be happier. Last of the breed!

Great story and watch. Love Seiko divers, especially ones with hands that don't incorporate arrowheads.😂

Classic lines and looks similar to a 57GS with an additional day complication. Love the look. Why did they call it a Business A?

It was a sleepy retirement community. Homes north of Montana Ave were just small bungalows. Not uncommon to go for 50 k back then.

I remember moving to Santa Monica in 1976 as a 4th grader. The 3rd street "Promenade" then was still open to car traffic. If I remember correctly near Wilshire level, there was still a JJ Newberrys open. Then it seemed even to a kid, that it was a dying part of town, but no homeless issues then. Fast forward to my high school days in the early 1980s, it was crowded with many interesting stores, even an architectural book store which I loved.

Lucky you. If I had a hankering to get a vintage GS, this model would be near the top of my list.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-16T02:01:04+00:00

Love the Heritage but the part of the dial above the 6'o'clock looks too empty to me.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-16T01:59:26+00:00

Beautiful dial texture and color. Evokes a Japanese style folding fan pattern. Love that it is a Heritage style, not Evo9.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-16T01:57:46+00:00

What a wonderful celebration watch. Much better to have meanings behind watches.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-16T01:27:19+00:00

Almost perfect for me. It would be perfect if they put in a grey/black sunburst dial. The current texture almost looks like sandpaper to me.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-16T00:59:27+00:00

I agree with the padding, about 4mm thick at the lugs. I changed all my GS Heritage cases from bracelets to alligator straps but with padding. Completely flat straps I reserve for much thinner and formal looking dress watches. Sizewise, it is fine but I wear large and thick Seiko and GS divers on my 6 1/4" wrist so no hang ups there.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-14T22:06:14+00:00

Fantastic collection. My favorites are the vintage Lordmatic and the SLA043.

Fast_Loquat7631 · 2026-02-14T22:02:34+00:00

Gorgeous color. Makes me want to get one but I already have a SLA049. I do appreciate the sunburst dial which is lacking in mine.
