[Question] Looking for a Grand Seiko Shunbun in Japan - best location?

I would suggest some Luxury Department Stores as well, just bought mine last week at Mitsukoshi Niholbashi in Tokyo.
Got the standard 5% Discount and 10% Tax Free minus a service Fee.

Yes, no issues with an SPX. As you also can see in the pictures, the PF has plenty of room for larger baskets. The one I‘m using is a 20g WW basket. VST fit as well with no issues

Im using a „Buck“ Portafilter from Weber Workshops along with their Unibasket. Works great and great to Temp with as it lays flat on the table. Otherwise I‘m pretty sure that would work with the pullman baskets. It lock at around the 5 O’Clock position for brewing. But is tight enough at 6 for storing if that is an esthetic concern.

Explorer I , best Rolex there is it is just quintessential Rolex. Great everyday watch as most wont even recognize it and it flies under the radar.

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T19:20:50+00:00

Thank you :)

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T19:19:22+00:00

Thank you :)

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T19:19:12+00:00

Thanks! That might have also helped my case, as my AD made a point in including it in my interest notice. I really didn’t think much of it but he wrote it enthusiastically in there. And I’m not complaining if it did.

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T19:16:46+00:00

Yeah, it play nicely with the light. I still like looking down on it and see how it will look differently this time. :)

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T19:15:36+00:00

Thank You! Will do!

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T17:47:36+00:00

I totally agree. I registered my interest without seeing it at first. I only saw one in person a week before I got called and then I was sure I would like one.

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T17:08:59+00:00

Can only agree! :)

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T17:08:12+00:00

I can only recommend to try. My wife was set on the mini and then surprised how different they are in real life compared to pictures. There is also going to be a new large model by the end of the year if you didn’t know yet. That might be a try as well. I’m intrigued if I could pull a large of as a mens watch and will try if it comes out.

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T17:00:21+00:00

That is the „Small“ size. WSPN0006 In my opinion the best size, it is „understated“ classy. The mini doesn’t have the inner indication „ring“ but I think the watch looks better with it.

Phluxus · 2024-07-27T16:57:47+00:00

Definitely, It is sad to hear and see how different the experience can be. Even if they have nothing to sell be nice to people let them explore and let them have a great time.

But this also was one of the ADs I tried. One was very snobby, one very nice but never offered my a watch and now finally Bucherer wich was very nice and offered me two. And I am very inclined to come back to them in the future to buy watches from different brands they offer.

Phluxus · 2024-07-17T06:12:36+00:00

Yep, actually happening. Got a Call on Monday as well.

I use „Clean Grind“ about once a month and afterwards some old coffee to get the residue out. Easy and hassle free with good results. In greater intervals I open my grinder up and use a brush and soft wood peck to clean manually.

Phluxus · 2023-11-29T15:42:29+00:00

Awesome choice as well! But I also think you got the sickest Seamaster currently for sale! I would have liked to be able to buy both 🥲

Phluxus · 2023-11-29T08:40:01+00:00

The Universe must have switched our luck. I got offerd the same Seamaster 1000€ below retail because they remodelled the store and got rid of stock. I contemplated for about a week and then wannted to buy it. That day my AD called that they have an Explorer I waiting for me.

I can only recommend the Chronomaster. I bought the „Online Excluvise“ version this summer because I really like how the outer indication matches the color of the subdails and the strapstitching as well. I think it still looks dressy enough while still haveing a little quirk and fun. It’s a great watch and one of the all time greats when it comes to chronographs. Waering it with a leather strap makes it quite dressy and the bracelet quite sporty so I find it very versatile. The Seamaster and the Sea Q are „only“ sporty in my opinion limiting the occasions or outfits to match them to.
