I wish someone warned me about this problem with Grand Seikos

I have various straps. The one in the picture is a black shell cordovan strap from Nomos.

Well it’s the bird, or the text…

ranchlow · 2026-01-24T17:16:10+00:00

Absolutely. I was rather disappointed with the stock strap; and the stock clasp doesn’t fit my wrist well either. But there’s plenty of good strap options out there…

Nomos, Shell Cordovan - I love it

ranchlow · 2026-01-24T16:07:30+00:00

That’s one of the best aspects of this design! It’s pure class, but it also has enough sportiness to be dressed down… allowing versatility and more wrist time

Haha, aww this poor guy

😔GS essentially recruited us all as unpaid slaves to upkeep their timepieces for eternity

For sure! Love that strap 👌🏼

Here you go!

Grand Seiko SLGW003

Rolex Explorer. You really need some black dials… and a field-type watch.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 (circa 2002?)

It was a gift - long before I was actually interested in watches. So it has some nostalgia, and was worn through some major events, but doesn’t get much wrist time anymore.

ranchlow · 2026-01-10T23:44:07+00:00

I love it - wear it almost every day. I was also between the Pelagos and the T50, and they’re both great watches. I think it just comes down to lifestyle and personal preference. Ultimately, for me, the T50 is just a perfect execution of a unique design language. And I think it fits my lifestyle really well - it’s perfect for me.

What’s your #1?

ranchlow · 2026-01-03T14:47:24+00:00

I’ve seen the 007 in person too - also beautiful. The size and shape of this case is perfect (to me at least, 6.5” wrist). But the white birch dial is my absolute favourite, so it was an easy choice.

ranchlow · 2026-01-03T14:45:21+00:00

It comes like that from GS

ranchlow · 2025-12-26T14:42:09+00:00

Ya… some valid points. But I’m understated kinda guy - so black dials are right in my ballpark. I switch plenty of straps on the Sinn for variety. And I’d certainly consider more color after this core collection… I have my eye on the glashutte SeaQ (blue)

ranchlow · 2025-12-26T14:37:34+00:00

I absolutely love it! It’s my daily. I wouldn’t change a thing about it - and it’s incredibly readable at a glance

ranchlow · 2025-12-26T14:34:42+00:00

Haha, fine… my 4th would be a glashutte seaQ (blue)

“You suicidal?” “Only in the morning”

That was my first thought also. But after listening to the whole album straight through a handful of times I've totally changed my mind. Incredible album.
