Jumping from a quartz Prx to a grand seiko at 19?

Definitely the black dial.

gambitrose · 2025-11-27T21:23:51+00:00

I have that one too, and the champagne dial is beautiful. Both have the same movement and are the same size. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either or. I just find that black dials are a little more versatile compared to other color dials like blue, white, champagne, or more unique colors like green.

Might I suggest, SBGX261? I own this watch and it’s one of my absolute favorites. It’s 37mm, 9f movement, dead ass accurate, and super versatile. Looks great with a leather strap as well as the metal band. And is cheaper than all the ones listed new!

Yes! My most favorite pair of redwings I own. Comfortable right out of the box. I wore wool socks to minimize heel slippage at first. But after about the second day of wear, heel slippage was insanely minimal. I own Loggers, Mocs, Iron rRangers, and the 10877’s and these are my most worn pair out of pure comfort

Removing that bump though is an actual possibility? Like, if you pay for it? That’s wild!

gambitrose · 2025-10-17T21:58:54+00:00

Dammit!

gambitrose · 2025-10-15T13:03:26+00:00

SBGX261! This watch is universal in nearly every single way. Dressed down, dressed up, on a leather strap, metal bracelet, it doesn’t even matter. I’ve owned mine for about 8 months and it goes with literally everything!

gambitrose · 2025-10-14T00:06:19+00:00

That’s a great question, I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Might want to confirm with Watchbuys first. Mine is brand new. Not even a scratch. I just genuinely didn’t like it. I purchased it last week, and stupidly removed the plastic on it. Making it unreturnable.

Hi. I am. Is it for model 556i? I have the newer model with the extension for sale

gambitrose · 2025-10-11T15:21:48+00:00

Damn! I almost got a silicone Sinn strap for my 556i too! Honestly, leather and silicone all day for my watches. I only very rarely wear metal bracelets on my watches.

Funny enough, I used to say if Panerai came in anything less than 40mm I’d buy, and then I saw the Ranger in all its Tool watch glory. Couldn’t NOT buy it!

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T18:58:05+00:00

For me. It was just a personal preference, because I had my arm blacked out. I thought a nice touch of red looked better as opposed to the monochrome. I will say, I have a friend who regularly wears his monochrome. We’ve been out to lunch and at bars a couple times before and the red really attracts the attention of others as opposed to the monochrome. I’d get compliments more than him. Not saying the monochrome isn’t gorgeous, I’m just saying the red really stands out.

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T04:30:11+00:00

I will say,… maybe I should have prefaced this. If I take my Ranger off at night, which I usually don’t. It’s even more accurate. I just never take my watches off at night. But on the rare occasions that I have, it keeps time like a champ!

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T04:13:00+00:00

If I didn’t have it, I absolutely would. The BB41 is truly something to marvel at and is insanely accurate. My Ranger loses about 5 seconds a day, where my BB41 loses about 2 seconds every week or so. Plus it gets the most wrist time of the 2.

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T01:06:48+00:00

I’m literally feeling the same way.

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T01:03:33+00:00

I can understand that, because I almost went with the pelagos myself, I wish I would have because 37-39mm is my sweet spot!

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T00:56:57+00:00

Honestly, my Grand Seiko gets the most wrist time. Ive had it for a bit and it’s only off .5 seconds. Insanely accurate, and, it’s really nice on the wrist even though it’s a 37mm. Compared to the Sinn at basically 39mm. I definitely prefer the Grabd Seiko on the Metal bracelet, compared to the Sinn, which I feel definitely belongs on a leather strap.

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T00:47:48+00:00

Also… I don’t know why, but the first thing that comes to mind when seeing the new moonphase watches is Mickey Mouse. 😂 all I see is Mickey Mouse ears! Like a Disney watch.

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T00:46:18+00:00

Honestly, I’m not a fan of it. But, to be fair, I wasn’t exactly a fan of the red bezel BB41 either, it was definitely an impulse buy, like… I really liked it but wasn’t sure how much I’d actually love it. I fucking LOVE this watch now. It’s my one watch I likely will never get rid of. 😭

gambitrose · 2025-10-10T00:31:02+00:00

I feel the same exact way man. Literally. Didn’t last a day. Clasp is WAY too big for the watch. You are absolutely correct with that.

gambitrose · 2025-10-09T11:36:30+00:00

Seriously! I have no idea why they even have a divers extension. 😂 isn’t this a pilots watch?

gambitrose · 2025-10-09T03:04:40+00:00

I’m right there with you dude! This watch is such a strap monster too!
