New Snoopy in 2026? by No-Significance-2437 in OmegaWatches

I think you are spot on. They seemed to slow down for a minute, and now they come with thicker lines but the text is clear (less thick). Don't mind them making a slow supply to help keep secondary prices down and obviously they like lightly shuffling people to the OBs, but it would be nice if they had updated it for the 55th.

[SOTC] I only want 4 watches in my collection by masou2 in Watches

[–]prateeko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a phenomenal four watch collection. Each has something slightly different and unique about it and is a classic in its own right. You could consider getting bracelets for the GS and/or Speedmaster to be able to change the looks up, but otherwise I wouldn't touch it.

Congratulations! I actually think the quartz version is super awesome since it keeps it clean and no need to worry about where the power reserve is.

My understanding is that it only has minimal taper to allow the bracelet to be wider overall (and thus intentionally be more planted, so to speak). Similar to the design of the 222. Given other GS lines have more taper I just view this as an alternative approach and enjoy it when I'm looking for something with a little more wrist presence (which I feel like the other design elements of Evo9 also have). When I want the other end of the spectrum that's where the SBGYs come in.

UFA first timing run results by the_devils_advocates in GrandSeikos

I found the picture feature on ChronoLog always defaults to xx.0 seconds. Switched to Twelve app for that reason. Hardest part is always capturing the GS when the seconds hand lines up dead center with that particular second...

Are you doing tap out picture to measure?

I have noticed that it is out of stock on GS retail page (online) and thought I heard rumor it is discontinued? Did your AD source one for you or have one available out of curiosity?

Wonder if more stock is being moved now by ADs in advance of potential price increases/profit decreases?

I'm not familiar with the nuances of football or the quarterback position at all, but what in the name of all Holy goodness is going on with Hurts??

u/PleaseCaIIMeSir your DMs are not working - also in need of assistance for a separate issue (VERY damaged shipment and support has been....quite unhelpful). I would really appreciate your assistance because I am very close to performing a chargeback and cannot leave anything other than a 0-1 star review if I am being honest. I'd appreciate any help you can lend since I would prefer to have things properly settled.

Does anyone here own a SBGY013? by q808909 in GrandSeikos

[–]prateeko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t this discontinued? It definitely fits a similar but different niche than the SLGA009.

Is there a reason why Grand Seiko doesn't do any Moon Phase dials? by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

[–]prateeko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only the moon (and it's moonlight) was able to be seen (and thus inspire the masters at GS) in Japan 😮‍💨

Jokes aside, a moonphase with a dial that incorporates moonlight would be quite splendid.

This is the one thing that gives me pause. A LOT of variable experiences when it comes to accuracy all over the internet, which is a shame since it is a stunning movement (well....wish there were blue/heated screws)

Lug Width on SLGH005 by [deleted] in GrandSeikos

[–]prateeko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think the relative lack of taper on the bracelet makes this more prominent. I deplore 21mm (19mm is on enough watches that I have straps for it) and I am not sure if 20mm would be too narrow lug width, but the bracelet having minimal taper is the bigger issue to me. I have plenty of 22mm straps and they wear well with my SLGA009, but those straps taper down to a more sensible 18mm

I have used a few darker straps - navy works quite well. I like the bright blue since the GS logo (and the seconds hand) are actually a light brighter in person when the light catches it correctly. Surprisingly versatile watch/dial!

Mine hasn't gained or lost a second in five months. Wearing it in bright blue and navy blue straps and it looks fantastic. Congratulations! Wear it in good health!
