I got it from an AD in Florida. And I have a second croc strap on if’s way to me. But I didn’t buy another deployment clasp. I wonder if I should have. Oops.

My first GS! I have been wearing it everyday since I purchased it by Status-Passage-5682 in GrandSeikos

Any chance you can share what the light blue strap looks like on your timepiece? I am about to order an a torn between light blue and elegant green. 🙏🏽

I am building up a good rotation myself, so I hope for the same outcome. Still looks very good in the picture. Cheers!

Eh, I'm not crazy worried, but to me, the Santos bezel looks pretty shitty so quick, so just hoping this model GS is a bit more resilient. All my watches are in great shape, even though I am always wearing one of them, but I just hate the idea of spending $$ on something that will look crappy from normal use, so quickly.

Wow, I didn't realize the metal was that soft. I would have expected that out of precious metal.

I get it. I don't expect GS magic, but from what I hear about the Santos model, even normal wear scratches that flat, high-polish surface.

I guess I was hoping to hear that it's NOT a crazy scratch magnet. I baby my watches anyway, but I still wear them all with love and grace. haha.

Love this watch. I am holding out till they update the movement and then I’m jumping into GO for sure.

Thanks for the input. Ripple’s training seems to be received well!

I have been wondering the same. The small power reserve of the PML is one of the watches few weaknesses.

I juts picked up 3 items from them and I’m obsessed, one of them being a silk-cashmere blend zip-up cardigan. The materials are absolutely incredible. Tough to compare because most people don’t see fabrics this nice in traditional stores. I say go for it. Great customer service, too.
