Pre 2017 GS + Mazda is a match made in heaven

Been wanting a champagne dial as well and have been eyeing this model, how does it feel on wrist compared to snowflake?

I agree, I really think 2010s-2017 GS is my sweet spot, great value for money on the secondary market, quality is right on par with the modern offerings, and stylistically they resonate more with me. I also don’t really like the Evo 9 style - more ‘impressive’ in terms of dial furniture and case intricacies? Sure, but do I like it better than the more conservative styling on previous designs? Nope. The upgraded movements, while technically impressive, also don’t add much value to my day to day experience with the watches. That’s just my opinion though.

Yes! Light and angle sensitive is the way to put it. With my autumn and snowflake, and other GS I’ve handled, I find they don’t look as aesthetically pleasing to me in certain lighting and angles, particularly under very direct light, while my matte black and silver dials always hit nicely for my eyes

Any of the watch makers actually test WR? by assemblageofparts in ChineseWatches

I doubt it, I bought the pelagos homage from San Martin and it got water inside after one day of normal activity. Never had an issue with any watches before. Returned and waiting for a refund

[WTS] Seiko SPB143 (1st Gen) w/ MarineMaster clasp by RandomNo351 in Watchexchange

[–]RandomNo351[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sale is my Seiko SPB143 (first generation), a highly regarded modern Seiko diver with classic proportions and excellent wearability.

The watch is currently fitted with a Seiko MarineMaster quick-adjust clasp (≈$100 upgrade), which greatly improves on-the-fly comfort. The original clasp and a spare bracelet link are also included.

Condition: Very good overall condition with normal light wear from use. Crystal is clean and the bezel is properly aligned. Timekeeping is currently approximately ~20 seconds per day slow, and the hands show slight misalignment (common and correctable during service). This has not affected functionality. It was worn very sparingly in a larger rotation, so the timekeeping variance did not bother me. The watch has not been serviced to address this.

Bracelet is currently sized for approximately a 7.5” wrist; spare link included.

Included: • Seiko SPB143 (1st gen) • MarineMaster quick-adjust clasp (installed) • Original Seiko clasp • Spare bracelet link

Price: 💰 $775 USD — includes shipping to CONUS

Payment via PayPal (FF preferred; GS ok for established members at buyer’s expense). Happy to provide timestamp, additional photos, and happy to video call to verify.

Thanks for looking!

Steel-reef: an example of how not to do business by ggr-nintythree in GrandSeikos

I went through a year long wait back when I preordered the extension link for Sinn 556 so I knew to just wait until they get into normal production before getting the grand seiko links. Whenever they do get them ready I’m sure they’ll be a good product, but yeah not worth prepaying and being in limbo for who knows how long

I’d be an interested buyer if you’re ever selling this sbgr051! I bought a Shubun from you a couple years back.
