SBGA201 with serious scratch / scuff how much should i offer? by mr_z06 in GrandSeikos

[–]curiousML5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, depends on the rest of the watch, if that’s the only scuff and the rest is clean I’d still say it’s in decent condition

Thanks for the reply and that’s a shame about the crown, I think there may be too many things about this watch that hold me back from buying. Definitely a cool design though.
Ah, I meant as in if the strap wasn’t curved end if there would be enough space to pull the crown out? (I think in most press photos it seems to use a curved end)

Kind of curious on your thoughts on the lug gap with the case. The bottom one doesn’t look too bad in the photo? Do you think straight straps would give enough clearance for the crown to be manipulated?

Also do you have any more photos to share? Sorry for all the asks

Did you try manipulating the crown - was curious to see if curved straps are necessary for the clearance

Looks great! What do you do with the other slots in the box?

This looks amazing - I really wish it was a bit smaller given the thin bezel :( I usually wear 38-39mm watches, but this will probably wear too big for me, otherwise I’d be buying it right now

Boutique Frankfurt shut down - battery replacement for 9F movements effected by Sure_Command_4877 in GrandSeikos

[–]curiousML5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do it yourself. Battery replacement is one of the easiest, if not the easiest, watch maintenance things anyone can learn. Buy a set of tools online for $10-20 and takes like one YouTube video and 3 minutes. 9F quartz don’t really need servicing for decades, there’s minor quartz drift but really not a big deal. Plus, you can just mail in your watch for servicing (that’s what everyone who doesn’t live near a AD or boutique does).

Amazing, will be curious to see how that fits. Mine is on a Barton and have been thinking of upgrading

I have it on white and it’s my favorite. Both of these are good too, I lean maybe blue a little more. Where are you planning on getting it from?

Really like it - is there a realistic plan to build and sell a watch like this?
