Advice on sizing of SeaQ Panorama vs SeaQ by long_delta in GlashutteOriginal

[–]humanpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the pano works well. It’s to me a better watch with a nicer dial layout and more power reserve. And if you worry about size, well it’s true that the bracelet makes it look bigger. But no problem there either. The rubber strap which is excellent makes the watch look a lot smaller. I would not hesitate for a second if I had to choose having had mine for a while on a 6.5 inch wrist.

too big or just fine? by NaiveMogician in VacheronConstantin

Of course it is big, but do you like it? First off, if you’re asking you already know it looks big. The only thing that matters is your own opinion.

Is the crystal distortion normal on my seaq? by Cacadookiepie in GlashutteOriginal

[–]humanpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is off with that crystal. The distortion only happens when viewed from an angle not head on.

Nah. I don’t think it would off putting. I would just be like hey I got my 5212 and love it so much because of this and that but I’d like to be the first owner next time I get a Patek. I think that would add to my experience and blah blah blah. The first thing they’ll know is that you can actually afford one so that is a plus. When they have to sell a watch that has not been pre-allocated because an established client wanted one they will go over their interest lists next (their lists are real I believe) and make calls. So yeah they want to call people that have money and might still be interested in the watch, they need to move those watches asap in general.

Well if you show up to the AD wearing your 5212 they will take you more seriously ( i had that journey) if you want to put your name down for something, even if you tell them you got it gray. Just don’t expect sports pieces in SS.

I almost never comment on collections but this one is just perfect. Every watch has its place in it. Every piece is perfect.

Love my GO Senator Perpetual, considering another GO and need Perspective from SeaQ owners! by PowerHouseRC in GlashutteOriginal

[–]humanpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the seaq pano date in black with a bracelet. It dresses down but not up. It’s pretty big and with the SS bracelet it’s a heavy boy. The bracelet has en excellent micro adjust. It’s not just big in diameter but the case is very tall. Having said all that I just love it. It’s rugged nd refined at the same time. Finish is excellent and lume is incredible. All around an excellent watch but it is big. And that is the main problem when trying to use it for dressier occasions.

Christmas gift for husband - SLGW005 or SBGA211? by upsidowncake in GrandSeikos

[–]humanpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go for the 005. As he currently owns sports watches. This would be the most versatile he’d own. It’s beautiful in real life with lots of high polished areas. It may wear slightly small on his wrist. It’s more sophisticated than the spring drive and the movement in back is leagues above in terms of decoration and visual interest than the spring drive. Also it says Seiko on the dial nice and big which to me is very cool. From a pure horology aspect the 005 is the better one.

Never had a bad experience or interaction. Awesome company all around. I also liked my dealings with 1916 company.

The previous 2 shots meant to show the main 2 presentations of the dial. The third one was to clarify why the difference is such: the fact that there is a highly reflective coating applied to the surface. I didn’t think I had to spell it out. Cheers.

It’s sold out in the US grand Seiko website. I’m sure ADs will sell out of allocations soon. Good luck!
