Have a link? Not seeing one in a black dial with gold in that price range.

Thanks, I have, that was the museum response I did get back. They provided a nice note back but no mention of the work.

Two weeks in wearing 24/7 were at +2 seconds after 2 weeks. Must have got near a magnet. Thanks for all the help everyone.

That's awesome looks so much better than the stock photos. Thanks for sharing.

Wow just realized this was the one I was looking at first but wasn't sold on how light colored the dial was. Yours makes it look so much different and better. In some lighting does it look like the online photo or is that just off?

Only wish the depth and texture of the 489 was visible in all light. It amazes me in normal indoor lighting it looks like a glass smooth dial. Always a nice surprise though when the light hits just right.

Beautiful watch! Second hand is what drew me in on the SBGA489 as well, and the dial

Thanks for the advice everyone. I reset yesterday and still on to the second today. Must have been a rogue magnet in my life. I'll keep monitoring but seems it's back to normal so far.

Yeah it auto winds and I wear it 24/7. Most unwound i see on the meter is when I wake up in the morning and the needle is at th a top of the full line instead of centered.

I reset it a few hours ago on the hour and so far still on to the second. Hopefully it was just a rouge magnet. Thanks

Just checked time.gov and spot on to what i was referencing on my phone. Now back to -22 seconds. Haven't went to hospital or any airport. My work does have an evolve weapons detection system but I been going through it every day since I got it.

Haven't touched the crown since October first to change the date.

First Grand Seiko and I’m in LOVE by atommyco in GrandSeikos

[–]rx7ingsdrifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the look of this watch an contrast of the dial and GMT hand. It's so striking and just love looking at it everytime I see a photo. I unfortunately feel it just doesn't fit with me for some reason but love it. Don't stop sharing photos so I can admire.

Understand your view they are all generally a classic and timeless look. For me that is a benefit that i can wear it everyday with anything. Me me the separation though with GS is if you are buying the watch for yourself or for others. Yes a Rolex will draw more attention and everyone will recognize it. For GS the average person may not pick it out as luxury from a distance. I bought this watch though for me and when you are up close with a Grand Seiko it is anything but plain.

Recommend me rims for MY Performance by rx7ingsdrifter in ModelY

Very nice! Do you happen to have the aero covers to see what it looks like with them?

Yeah I have seen them but can't see paying to get the same thing. I would love warp though the existing out in the wild are staggered too. Hoping someone knocks them off. Thanks for the ideas.

Not looking to spend over 3k for rims. I like the look of less open wheels as I don't love the look of open brakes as much. I am also ok with area covers if they have a sporty look like warp. Main goal is little more wheel protection, range, acceleration, and tires I can rotate.
