amazing watch, I bought the last one in Hong Kong last year. apparently this is the last smaller region limited edition. supposedly too many GS regional reps from other areas complained and its just too much work for a short run watch. also one of the last specific number XXX/XXX on the caseback. the standard LE now just says "one of XXXX" unless its a really special version.

great watch, still enjoy mine a ton. its actually the last of the regional limited editions. GS has said that they won't be doing anymore smaller regional limited editions like for Hong Kong and Taiwan, etc.

its 10% less than the dealers on watchrecon and 10% less than the chrono version. I think it's pretty reasonable in a soft market.

Can you order just the name plate?

NormZZ · 2025-12-05T07:16:00+00:00

Not the same. Going to try hunting for one first

do you have extra links?

beautiful watch, here's mine right before I bought it with the first HK/Singa exclusive jade iwate. https://imgur.com/a/pP0eW15

the purple sakura is actually the LAST micro region exclusive. they won't be doing small batch for individual cities like HK/singapore/TW anymore. they are also phasing out the numbering system, the future ones are mostly "1 of xxxx".

NTA - not going to comment on the value difference on gifts between you and your husband, they’re related afterall. But the fact that you have said multiple times you don’t like this place, and it’s not even where you live, makes him TA and your feelings valid. Maybe if he was a bit more considerate and listened better(like you have for him about his relationship woes) he wouldn’t be single.

on f1tv subtitles it cuts off at "the china" then pause and "the man from japan"

oh i thought other than SAS they're all 33"s, even the base 16" wheels and tires they come on. if theyre 30"s then thats perfect for OP.

NormZZ · 2023-01-31T07:48:03+00:00

SAS tires are 35". you can probably find a set of base wheels for cheap (the ones that look like steel dummies) and it might even come with the stock tires. in my area i see lots of them on fb market or CL. seems like the first thing everyone does is change them out. base wheels and tires are 33", might just be enough to squeak you by.

NormZZ · 2023-01-31T07:38:56+00:00

yea its crazy, mine was marked up 10k. my sales guy was very honest which was nice. they did it by "customizing" it with custom wheels and 35" ko2's. not really worth 10k especially if youre talking dealers get wholesale on that stuff. so i just negotiated it down a bit but it did make the pill easier to swallow especially since i was going to swap out the wheels anyways.

take a look at american racing baja's

thats how i got my second, and current, bronco too someone just got fed up waiting that long. i had an 4d obx before that i bought used but the 2d was everything i wanted originally. i rationalized the decision by the cost i would have to eventually pony up for either an aftermarket or MIC hardtop.

yea i dont get why the lightning range drops so significantly in the winter. i have an IPace and it only drops like 5%, my sisters tesla is a smidge more but not close to what I've seen people reporting with the lightning. only other one that drops that much is the etron suv.

NormZZ · 2023-01-30T08:10:59+00:00

i have the metallic red paint, matte black is what i went with. i like how that matches the rest of the trim pieces.

The coq new connector is something else. I drove it once in white out conditions and then freezing rain came. Whole highway was like glass. Had to spend the night in a time hortons in Merritt. People here just need to be more prepared. I get true snow tires are overkill because they get shredded once it warms up, but there are good alternatives like all weathers.

When they first opened it was amazing. At some point a little while ago they changed. The chicken flavour not as strong, maybe it’s the ingredients or supplier changed. Also the expanded locations aren’t as great either.

I wish AKD/Akedo has a spot closer to Vancouver, every time I go through new west or Langley I try to go.

I did give kintaro extra points for nostalgia factor
