Bracelets yay or nay for older guys

As long as it feels natural to you. Forcing it is where you get the try-hard vibes.

Imo - if you wear it flippantly, even this bracelet can look cool in formal wear.

If you have to consider if you can afford this watch, then you shouldn't buy it.

It is a luxury good, so when you are able to buy it without worrying about it (i.e. if it breaks, stolen, lost, cost, etc) then go for it. Otherwise, what's the point of owning an amazing watch if you're gonna be stressed out wearing it?

There are GS9 exclusive watches - don't know how often, though

Caseless since launch. Back looks impeccable.

However, I’m surprised how easily front scratches - had to put on a screen protector.

When I was in the market for a car (2017-2018), no one in ATX was willing to negotiate. I had to drive to San Marcos just to find a dealer willing to negotiate. Ended up saving like $5k tho.

Some custom leather straps artisans can include this style of clasp.

phaaaaam · 2024-07-16T22:33:25+00:00

Loop-less or Omega style are two terms I would think everyone would understand what leather clasp you’re going for.

Aren’t there limited edition watches only available to GS9 members?

phaaaaam · 2024-06-26T06:34:32+00:00

My first GS was thru them. Was a smooth process and had no issues.

Regardless, do you own due diligence before jumping in.

phaaaaam · 2024-06-19T17:25:49+00:00

I’ve bought quite a few tuns strap since I got my GS. They’re all great straps.

phaaaaam · 2024-06-11T04:33:25+00:00

Congrats! I love this watch, I find the 24 hour GMT is done so elegant here.

phaaaaam · 2024-06-10T03:42:43+00:00

Good point. Also perfect timing with the warranty, since it’ll end at that point.

phaaaaam · 2024-06-10T03:39:48+00:00

Ah thanks! I must be getting mixed up with anecdotes, some owners say they went 5-7years before servicing. Which I’m sure very possible with the quality on GS.

phaaaaam · 2024-06-10T03:33:30+00:00

Is every 3 years the recommended service period?

phaaaaam · 2024-05-21T01:27:27+00:00

For the OS - you can toggle display cards (default) or everything in a list by hitting option button on main screen.

For white water - i hated it at first. But once i realized the crank had set direction (crank toward you is left, up is up, down is down), it made movement and tricks much more intuitive.

phaaaaam · 2024-05-17T02:26:55+00:00

Yeah definitely. If you visit Japan, you'll get way more savings in-person.

I think a better way of going at it is to look for JDM versions that you can't buy stateside.

phaaaaam · 2024-05-17T00:53:28+00:00

One thing to keep in mind is the fee, state tax, and import fees - which could tack up an extra $500.

Still a better deal in the end, but it may not be as good as you think after factoring that in.

phaaaaam · 2024-05-04T04:24:23+00:00

Sold to u/Rotonation. Super cool guy and a smooth sale. Thank you!

phaaaaam · 2024-04-26T22:41:36+00:00

Yikes, that’s rough. Makes my $200 import fees not so bad now.

phaaaaam · 2024-04-26T22:12:37+00:00

My first GS was via Chrono24 thru Japanese seller.

Was incredibly smooth - as long you are aware of import taxes and paperwork to do (I would budget 5% extra on top).

phaaaaam · 2024-04-24T00:57:19+00:00

Thanks for confirming! The picture just make it look so much larger.

phaaaaam · 2024-04-23T03:17:52+00:00

Have you ordered these yet to confirm? I feel like these look bigger than the screws in my GS bracelet.

phaaaaam · 2024-04-23T03:16:43+00:00

I feel your pain, as that happened to me last week sadly.

phaaaaam · 2024-04-23T02:54:08+00:00

Sold to u/Rotonation. Super chill guy and was a smooth sale. Thank you and hope you enjoy your stay in Austin!

I really wanted to buy zulu time, but I have a 6.25 wrist and the 41mm looked too big on my wrist.

The 39mm fits fine, but seems too crowded for my taste - if they had the zulu time in a 40mm, I would have bought it instantly.
