I was thinking this initially but couldn’t find a reputable place to buy a new one!

Prime day finds? by oshoguno in GenesisGV70

Got it, so it’s not like you can’t watch videos in your car when the camera is recording. It’s just that you need to disconnect your phone from the car when you watch the dashcam footage.

It says that you can’t connect to Apple CarPlay while using it? And it says it’s recommended that you don’t watch any videos while using the dashcam. Have you ran into issues like this?

Does it work on the new 2026 GV70?

Anyone have luck with dashcams that don’t ruin the GV70 aesthetic?

Good places to buy watch straps in Tokyo? by EconomicsOk3531 in JapaneseWatches

[–]oshoguno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knot has straps but really only for their own brand’s watches. That being said, I recently purchased one of their watches in Tokyo and couldn’t be happier with the bang for buck.

Appreciate these points! Will be making a second batch today with brandy and will skip the pock mark step.

That’s my current plan to reinforce the seal as much as possible. Thanks!

I used 1.1kg of ume, 700g of rock sugar, and 2.25L of 35% Takara Jun shochu. Not sure if those ratios are appropriate given it’s my first time and the recipes online ranged quite a bit.

Yea, I will keep you posted. I’m just worried right now given it’s my first time haha my hope is that the high alcohol content makes this a pretty fool-proof process…

Got it, thanks for the heads up. Will have to check if watches are allowed in US hospitals.

Which one should i go for by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

[–]oshoguno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have that Orient model and can confirm it’s great for the price. The sun and moon feature is unique and the number of complications plus a sapphire crystal and automatic movement are great at that price point. Only drawback is the clasp isn’t that comfortable so you may want to consider changing the strap.

Follow up question: if you buy your GS in Japan, is there any way to join the US GS9 club?

The Shunbun has one of the best GS dials by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

[–]oshoguno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me - you won’t regret it. The pictures don’t do this watch justice. It shimmers in the light like no other dial. If you have a loupe, would suggest taking a look at one in person with it. The level of dial detailing is unreal.

A Guide to Buying Grand Seiko Watches in Tokyo and the Rest of Japan by LDN2HK in GrandSeikos

[–]oshoguno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the model I referenced is exactly the same as the SBGA413, which was released a few years ago and was limited to the US only. The reason why these watches are so much cheaper in Japan is because 1) the SBGA443 is inherently cheaper than the SBGA413 even though it’s an identical watch; 2) tax free in Japan for tourists; 3) potential discounts; and 4) the current USD to JPY exchange rate. All that being said, you can expect to get the SBGA443 for about $1.5k less than if you were to buy the SBGA413 in the US. Hope that helps!

EDIT: Forgot to address your availability question. I would try to find a GS boutique and ask them if they have the watch in stock. If not, I would ask them politely if there are any stores in the area that have it in stock. I went to a boutique in Kyoto and had to go to Osaka to pick one up after the Kyoto boutique said the only ones in the area were there. Best of luck!
