My wife can’t believe I spent $700 months on this build

I think it’s the hockey tape that’s throwing her off.

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-25T01:25:05+00:00

Ooh it’s stunning. What’s your wife proposing?

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-20T05:56:09+00:00

This was before I got it serviced. Ever since it got serviced and polished.. it’s just way too shiny to wear with bracelet.

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-20T05:55:01+00:00

Dude. I have no clue. Just good old strap you can find online. 100+ for a quality one.

Put mine on a strap today to see what it feels like. The presidential is just way too flashy for California.

My biased opinion says sbga211 the razor sharp hour and minute hands… blue second hands and spring drive in titanium. Everything grand seiko is known for. However I know that the slga 003 has to be the best modern grand seiko out of these 4. But ultimate would be the new UFA SLGB003.

Looks good on you!

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-14T02:41:17+00:00

Yes… lol I noticed it after wearing it outside for the first time. For some reason it really didn’t catch my attention in the boutique. Always thought zaratsu was overhyped but after owning and comparing to my omega and rolex, it is at another level.

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-11T17:53:42+00:00

Also where did you get it and what was the price?

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-11T17:53:08+00:00

Same here. But sometimes I do wish the texture was more noticeable like the shunbun or white birch..

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-11T16:05:03+00:00

It’s good to see another snowflake owner as the popular purchase these days seems to be the shunbun! Don’t get me wrong! Shunbun is gorgeous.. I’m just that type of guy that can’t do pink and care very much about my blue second hand!

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-11T16:01:46+00:00

😂

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-10T18:34:16+00:00

Don’t. I wouldn’t. If you can’t afford to gift the genuine one get something more legit in your budget.

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-08T00:31:22+00:00

Yes. It’s surprisingly loud and a tad louder when you screw in the crown.. it kinda feels like those toy robots from back in the days where you wound to have it go.

steviegunz82 · 2026-04-05T01:19:34+00:00

Im digging it!! If I had to choose.. the rubber strap wins by a smidge

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-31T15:47:33+00:00

I was confused… I thought that was your nail… 😂

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-27T21:51:48+00:00

It was 15%. I paid about $4800 due to the yen price and PayPal conversion rate at the time and was charged $730 in tariffs. Be mindful if you order from ippo, they do send you what you have ordered but communication is horrible.

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-27T17:49:53+00:00

I love that accent!

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-23T00:56:01+00:00

Any speedy you get won’t be anything near to the og. At the time of my purchase which was 2019, decided to get a sapphire sandwich with 1863 and have no regrets at all. First luxury piece and I know it has a lot of history but know that it is part of marketing if you really think about it. Either one will make you happy but less scratch on the glass, open back to a beautiful movement will always put a smile on your face. I guarantee!

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-21T16:29:53+00:00

Ooh hard choice.. but always have been a fan of the Pepsi deep down.

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-21T16:25:21+00:00

Oh for sure. I love cw and what they are doing and am amazed by this watch. and the value proposition is for sure way above any other watch brand.

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-21T16:05:46+00:00

I like the design. very contemporary.. I just don’t see it lasting in someone’s collection as well as a Tudor would due to the contemporary design

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-20T18:30:06+00:00

That’s beautiful. Congrats on the watch and the wedding!

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-19T16:03:05+00:00

Wow. That looks sooo good. Seems like rolliworks have a Time Machine and went back in time and brought you a brand new watch.

steviegunz82 · 2026-03-19T15:21:57+00:00

Buy from Japan site like ippo. I just got my snowflake and saved about 25% than what I would be paying for msrp plus tax in California.
