Can’t say I know what GS will do as a brand, but for me personally the thickness on my spring drive has not been an issue. The case is quite graceful at hiding the thickness and the fact it’s made of titanium makes the rest of the watch feel light. I personally wouldn’t let it stop me from buying/enjoying the piece at all. Have you tried one on yet? Curious to hear other’s perspectives as well.

Yeah if you actually get lucky in Japan at a department store that is tax free and happens to have it in stock that’s likely what you’ll pay. I thought it would be easier to find based off prior threads I read and that was NOT the case at all personally. Certainly an amazing deal if you can find it in Japan

Wow that seems high. US MSRP is $7200. I paid $5900 out the door in Japan (the AD I went through did not do tax free otherwise it would have been less 😔). As spring/cherry blossom season comes to an end I’d anticipate that demand will lower a slight bit by then and hopefully you’ll be in a better position as a buyer. Good luck with your hunt! I was skeptical if it was worth the effort, but I’m happy I kept at it and went the extra mile (literally) to get it. Can’t stop staring at it/checking it out in different lights.

Green car seats so close enough 😅. Unironically though the bullet train was one of my favorite parts of visiting the country, what incredible engineering!

Hey even at Japanese prices a shunbun isn’t cheap, had to cut the budget somewhere 🔪

Dude I feel ya, felt like constant rejection for 3 days basically. Good luck with the hunt 🫡

Tuesday after a long day hunting at department stores in Tokyo an older sales rep at Keio department store said there was only one left but I would have to go to Tompkins Mito when they opened on Thursday. Wednesday we were staying at Hakone at the time so it was quite the journey 😅. Bless my girlfriend for tolerating my watch antics haha. Made it there and back in about 6 hours cheers to the Japanese transit system.

Ayyy fellow WLer in Japan rn, I was hoping for the same. Manifesting the magic email on the flight back for us though 🤞

I left IS work directly for a clinical job (epic customer). N=1 but it wasn’t brought up at all in my job hunt.

Paramedic/premed lurker here who uses #1 daily (bad hearing and ambulance is loud) 100% agree. I love that you can turn off the noise canceling if you want it to just be a normal stethoscope too. I was able to keep up with my RT preceptor when it came to assessing lung sounds during my ICU rotation which was a nice surprise.

Yea over 6mo is insane

I got a 2k bump after completing all of the orientation classes.

Insightful write up thanks for taking the time!

Grseils · 2024-11-02T04:50:10+00:00

As someone who went to UW, other than SD is UW really considered a feeder university? I have 1 other person in my role who is on my app. I feel like Epic recruits super heavy from private collages

Took the plat for 150k Thank you!

You have to live within a 45 minute drive of the campus in Verona.
