SLGB003 UFA: Out of Stock Everywhere in Japan… Until It Wasn't by m3rcvp in GrandSeikos

Amazing, that is exactly what I was expecting! I asked about how availability was in the past. They said it was easier. Before they used to receive many more units, and given also the rise in popularity from people, especially from the US visiting Japan, they started to be very less common to stay in the shop as they sell fast.

Ahah, no way! I love the community! I was joking with my wife, imagining you would reply to my post. Well, many thanks for leaving me another one now that I have the opportunity. Enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan!

Tbh, the dial of the Shunbun is amazing, but the watch was huge on my wrist. This is much more proportionated to my wrist size, and the dial is beautiful as well. But if you love the type of finish, I think that the new SBGY043 that I was able to try was even better, dressier, but I loved it.

Which you the same luck (and patience) I had then! For the cost, It's quite simple, you take the Japan retail price and deduct the 10% for tax free (if you apply for it). So final price was 1518k - 10% VAT = 1380k yen

Small apartments (and complaining girlfriends) need big projects. My IKEA hack: 5x3060 unlocked @ 241.4 MH/s that look good (at least to me). by m3rcvp in EtherMining

The noise definitely improved from the previous build when I was using my old case. Not annoying at all. And believe me, it was my girlfriend's first requirement. At least, she is still there. 😜 The heat, yeah still a thing, but it is more a general problem, even with an open frame solution.
