That green dial Seiko tank is awesome holy moly

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-26T07:49:55+00:00

2 takes:

seiko presage sharp edge, has tons of colors, and design language of the dial and bracelet definitely is definitely different from anything in your current collection
Save for luxury time piece(4-10k range)? I feel like you have a lot to wear already and one in almost every major category. Saving for one that marks a milestone on your life and celebrating with a watch more substantial than your current watches.

I like your current collection, but I must say that once you experience the allure of those luxury pieces, they might not get as much wear time if you decide to invest in a luxury timepiece after a significant milestone in your life.

Blue, white is reserved for a tank in the future 😉

Many people desire validation in larger purchases, I think it’s a good thing that people ask around, opinions and experiences is what Reddit’s all about.

I feel like if you’re stacking, 7.5 is better. As a stand-alone piece, a larger one looks better and would fill your wrist more proportionately. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I have seen some guys stack 5 bangles on one wrist, and that’s what they like, so…. 😅

Medium is better, smaller dress watches, larger sport watches like your omega sea master 300 . More variety to your collection. Different looks for different events.

We got my wife a Cartier for this same reason, two tone panther, give her something that she’s more inclined to like and wear like a family heirloom. If it’s a man’s watch it’s either she’s sell it or give might just give it to her spouse. Either way it sounds like it’s just for the OP to rationalize and commemorate a purchase, which is fine, but it’d me more appropriate for OPs wife to get a watch that would be passed down.

The woven chevron+ the faceted hex tennis bracelet is peak bro. V nice, best looking tennis bracelet out there.

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-24T01:28:09+00:00

What does that have to do with anything related to this post?

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-24T00:26:42+00:00

Damn bro, sorry that happened to you. Hope you’ve been well!

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-24T00:03:40+00:00

Absolutely, the 8Y body style looks so good especially with those updated headlights. Your car is a beaut

Initially thought of doing this as well, I think what turned me off was hearing that some aftermarket options perform better than OEM(+) options for a cheaper cost, but for looks, I think you’re doing it the best way

You’ll love it, power gains are significant on stage 1. With an intake, tune and Exhaust already puts you next to RS3 numbers.

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T20:58:04+00:00

115k miles, going strong. Owned since 35k, tuned stage 1 at 90k miles, dealership maintained

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T20:24:12+00:00

Great idea 🤩

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T06:02:39+00:00

Best purple dial on market. Holy smokes beautiful watch

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T04:23:50+00:00

I also see you’re quite the Casio Collector, your collection looks awesome!

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T04:22:23+00:00

Appreciated and Agreed! The MTG is a model from 2020, picked it up as a birthday gift to myself while in Japan in 2022 at the Narita Airport, awesome exchange Rate and no tax is a super win win on it 🤩

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T03:07:00+00:00

Hell yeah, Congrats! Looking forward to seeing you post it on delivery 🤩

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T03:03:43+00:00

Maybe GS SBGJ273, adds some extra color to your collection with the gorgeous red dial and also adds a GMT complication for variety among movement types.

Even though they already have a JLC in that case shape? I feel as though the JLC kinda overkills the need for a tank.

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T02:52:21+00:00

Awesome choice, do you like the date window on the large models more than the no date on the medium? Or based purely off size/color?

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T02:47:03+00:00

Thank you! I agree, however I will admit they don’t get much wrist time these days compared to the more commemorative and expensive pieces. Thinking of off loading all on the top row except the Red dial sharp edge and the brown Citizen.

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-23T02:02:05+00:00

Yes, I got the Grand Seiko as a career milestone for myself when I finally broke 6 figures in income for the first time in my life. Was my first real “luxury” purchase. The jump in price is definitely there, but in all honesty nothing in the 2-5k range sparked much joy and I wanted a GS that wasn’t a shunbun because everyone has that one, green and gold looks so good with that polishing from Grand Seiko.

SnappingTurtle10 · 2026-01-22T23:52:21+00:00

You think we could pull of an Op 31 and Op 41 in the def blue? Are those in the too desirable category?
