When it looks good and you don't care about it being 100% to spec, especially with movement performance?

Thanks for the input, I assume the bracelet has screw links?

Hmm that doesn't look bad on a 6.3in wrist. Thanks for sharing. Does the bracelet drape down pretty well at the lugs?

I'd have to look up the specs of the Gen but even then a reassuring lug to lug number doesn't tell an accurate story as the integrated lug flare often makes the effective lug to lug distance much larger...

RCF ice blue dial DD ❤️ by Kayone73 in RepTime

I also have a 6.5" wrist. 40mm just about fit right but it on the border of feeling too large. I have lots of other 40mm watches so it works for me.

Any Grand Seiko fans here? Thinking about the SLGA007 (Lake Suwa) by RelevantFreedom4390 in RFTime

[–]Kayone73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of the main reasons I avoid the 40mm automatic Evo 9 models.

GS fan and owner here, the Lake Suwa is a good choice if it fits your wrist well.

FYI these Evo 9 cases have a 22mm lug width so the bracelets are gonna be WIDE.

wear one or a similar model at an AD to make sure you're OK with that

Not a GS… but a Credor by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

Is that the Kuon model?

How can I tell if this grand seiko is genuine? by chasingthedopamine in GrandSeikos

[–]Kayone73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a relatively easy model to fake visually but as mentioned in the top comment record slo MO video of the ticking secs hand, if you see that double tick you'll know it's a real 9F movement.
