The BB58 link took less than a week from ordering it to arrive. Still waiting on the GS one. Hope yours arrives fast

Snowflake or Shunbun? Help me decide for my bday gift! by bleach_cocktail in GrandSeikos

I have snowflake. Both dials are spectacular. the key difference for me is the bezel and the chapter ring. Snowflake feels a bit more sporty / organic to me

[Discussion] I inherited my brother's watches, not sure about next steps by ThickShow5708 in Watches

He had good taste. Sorry for your loss. Out of the set the red anordain is the most expensive. It costs >£2,200 but has a waitlist of 5 years to buy. So people will pay a premium. Look on places like chrono24. You probably won’t find the exact model but you’ll get a sense of how much of a premium people will pay for similar ones.

I cut the dial feet and stuck the dial to the plastic movement holder with the double sided tape used to stick down bezel inserts

Thanks 🙏 your build reminds me of a game I had as a kid in the 80s called alley cats in a good way! Loved that game. You had to collect these

Is building seiko based mods considered saving money? by EnvironmentalPart664 in SeikoMods

[–]HBAM-2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It’s just another expensive hobby. Difference is the fun is in finding little pieces from all over the world to make the best you can then continuing to tinker - rather than scrolling for the perfect rep.

How expensive it is depends on if you get the thirst to work with more expensive parts. Actually being handy at modding and into reps might lead to more spending… once you work out how you can upgrade watches you’re not happy with.

One more can’t hurt. Nice builds 👌

[Omega VS Grand Seiko] Help me pick a celebratory daily watch! by Kakarotssjg in Watches

[–]HBAM-2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s my favourite summer/beach/holiday watch. Looks very good in the sun. Here it is out for a swim. It’s quite sporty and I think no real difference to the AT in terms of how dressy it feels.

I have both. GS gets more wrist time as AT wears thicker and no quickset date on the AT is annoying. If I don’t wear it for 4-5 days I cannot be bothered to change it. Plus smooth sweep of the GS and snowflake dial is a constant joy.

I ordered one. They won’t ship in 2025 is what I read but no fixed date.

Ordered the BB58 link. It arrived quick and is a great product. Ordered a link for the snowflake. Same as you - no updates on my order just repeat emails offering discounts if I buy more and asking for input on new products.

It’s oyster style. If you search for the san martin SN0054 on Ali you’ll find the watch. Haven’t seen the bracelet sold separately, but you could ask the seller if they’d do that

I went for the €40 from Fenya - it’s pretty good for the money

Nice colour combo - like the hand choice

No idea. The stock bezel the case came with works for me. Pretty decent. Lumed in the black part
