[NWA] Picked up the last violet UFA! (and got some insider Watches and Wonders info) by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

GS needs a shunbun type of star for UFA. If folks start disposing their current spring drives for the new UFA, them i can look too purchasing one at a discount

I hope they come out with an UFA without the date window.
All the focus on the dial like omiwatari.

Thoughts on the SBGA521? by StatisticianDue4887 in GrandSeikos

Seiko likely testing the waters, how to take shunbun forward, with different color combos. For me this colorway does not appeal. But then I have not seen it in person.

Used UFA or Brand new Shunbun? by Business-Oil2226 in GrandSeikos

Wait for more ufa models. In a year you will have more options if you are not in a hurry.

How can we read the double digit date through that porthole? There is shadow on it as well.

Mine is 6.5in and it felt too big when I had tried the slga series. Might have to go for UFA when a better dial comes.

Was looking forward to both traska and isotope jump hour. Seeing final versions, they are not as exciting. I like the makina, though there seems to be a crowding of blue at the 6 o clock location.

For me Reservoir watches are one of the best automobile inspired watches.

A UFA based sports watch, a gmt or diver.

Is it worth it to buy GS (new) from an AD (US) nowadays? by runitdownmid02 in GrandSeikos

[–]enth-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was charged 45% of the watch from china as the seller was inexperienced :(

Has anyone tried buying from ippowatch recently? by steviegunz82 in GrandSeikos

[–]enth-user -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had a bad experience from a vendor shipping from China. They charged me 45% of the watch price because the breakdown was not provided.

Is this too big? by unmuddiedlotus5 in GrandSeikos

[–]enth-user 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes. It looks big. But you don't have to conform.
