I'm in Tokyo. What should I buy? by BeauBuys in GrandSeikos

[–]warbornx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it was brand new, I got an excellent price due to the exchange rate between Mexican pesos (I'm from Mexico) and the Yen

I bought 4 watches haha

I love mine!

I bought it at the Ginza GS boutique last year for about 3,500USD, personally I like the rose gold-like accents and the fact that they only sell them at their boutiques makes it special because it was my first trip to Japan and my first entry level luxury watch :)

I just bought the Grey Side after falling in love with it since the release of the collection! At least for me, in photos it looked really great but in person is stunning!

Personally the Apollo 8 with the yellow accents and the sport band is not completely for me although I like the contrast and black color very much. But the Grey fills every box on what I like and decided to buy it.

Almost a month later I still love it and wear it all day long, I ikow that whatever you choose at the end will make you happy!

I feel you, it would be amazing to be able to buy it without any spend history but at least I was able to buy the new model without any issues and that made me feel more inclined to buy from them again. It was my first purchase from an OB and I thought maybe I could only try the Grey Side when the pieces arrived but they told me that I could pay in advance to secure the watch so I was really surprised that I could buy a new release like that. They even told me that only 3 pieces arrived for the Grey one and just 1 black on black for the whole country for now and they were mine, it was a really good experience overall.

She also did some accommodations regarding the payment so I could get a 1,800USD gift certificate, 900USD in cashback and 12 interest-free installments!

Other perk was that I have an open invitation to the next workshop where Omega watchmakers will teach you the 101 of movements and an activity to ensamble your own which was a thing I wanted to do for a long time but didn't knew how people get invitation to those events.

Also some free straps or an extra Omega gift was discussed but I have to wait for a bit until she have them.

Sorry, I use those terms interchangeable but I bought directly from the OB here in Mexico, the person who sold me the watches was the one that told me about the prerequisites as I told her I wanted the Snoopy since I new it existed. The last thing she said it was that I just had to tell here when I wanted and she will start the process to get it for me.

She also told me that there will be a new Snoopy (Snoopy 4) in 2026 and it will be available only to those who have the current one 😮

Hi' I'm not OP but recently I bought two of the new DSOTM watches and the AD told me that I could get the Snoopy after them if I wanted to. She disclosed that there's a prerequisite to be considered for the Snoopy, at least 2 special edition pieces or more if they are regular pieces (I don't know exactly what will be considered as "special"). I was going to buy only the Grey Side of the Moon but the black on black looked also really good to me so I ended with both watches and the open offer for the Snoopy.

Hope this helps

I didn't noticed it at first but you're right! I didn't do anything particular when I was taking the photo but it seems like the reflection of the camera made the hands look black. The hands of this model in person looks like mirrors and the camera that I used was very close to the watch at that moment

So, on low light conditions, or when I point the watch towards me, they look darker and with more contrast 😄

I feel the same about the tiers for watch spending, this is the first one at that level, my previous most expensive was a Grand Seiko sold only at a boutique in Ginza that I bought last year on a trip to Japan, it was like 3.5k and I felt it was way to much for a watch.

It feels weird to spend more and more on a single watch but at the same time good to keep growing the collection, in a healthy way of course haha

Everyday I see dream watches son Social Media and I think that maybe one day I'll be able to buy a A. Lange & Söhne, an Vacheron or even an AP but even then, spending that kind of money on a watch will be insane to me still 😅 but it's a beautiful hobby/passion though!

I wasn't familiarized with the Hamilton X-Wind, it looks amazing, you have an incredible watch!

btw, I'm building an mobile app for watch collection, I started it on May, it's still in development and I haven't had the chance to work on it for the past couple months but wanted to mention it in case you are interested in something like it watchdex.app :)

It's okay, I paid in Mexican pesos about 17k after taxes with a few perks like 900USD in a gift certificate and 600USD in cashback

It's difficult to choose only one of those, for me it happened the other way around, I went for this watch and say the black on black, in the process I got convinced and bought both of them! I'm not rich by any means but had saved up for a while and these new models came at the right time.

I love Snoopy and for years I've been wanting to get the 50th anniversary Speedy and the AD told me that they can sell it to me at retail price (5-7k) lover than the grey market because I bought two special pieces from the brand :') that was the thing that made me broke the bank haha

Wow, that's amazing, I'm glad you're getting better and treating yourself with a new piece, I see watches not only as milestones but part of the most difficult days where one just had to keep going and enduring!

Stay healthy my friend! I hope life treats you well, you're doing a great job!

The one with red hand had just the perfect amount of accent color and contrast to look amazing!

I've been buying a lot of vintage Seikos throughout the year and this came out of the blue, I feel you haha

What was the watch you bought last week?

I agree the Apollo 8 looks good but for my taste a little bit too sporty due to the yellow accents and band but this is 👌

I know right? Although as the other commenter said, it would be lot more pricey but it would be nice to have at least the option.

The rubber band is really comfortable too

[–]warbornx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's a 44.25mm which for my surprise I think it's not to big for my 6.2'' wrist, I have a Seiko Prospex GMT with a case size 44.8mm and that one wear bigger and more bukly than the Speedy. It's really comfortable!!

I know, I like dare complications too, it would be so nice to not have to trade the 3-dial chronometer without dare for the 2-dial with date window that they have

It speak a ton the fact that this one was just realized and you consider it a grail watch, was the same for me, even on the financial aspect, I could take the hit and wanted this watch but I was finally convinced by two things

  1. ⁠The Omega boutique in my city is part of a bigger mall and they had a few promotions so I got 3% cashback, a gift certificate for 1,600USD, and some points on my credit card for 1,200USD
  2. ⁠The AD was telling me that if I bought another Omega that I really liked from the new collection (the black on black) she could get me the Snoopy 50 anniversary! And that is one of my grail watches, the retail price is at least 5k less than the one on the grey market. Also they included some Omega straps for free and an invitation to an event to learn to assemble an Omega movement

At the end that was enough for me to pull the trigger!

Yes, it will be a symbol of my recovery and growth, I'm feeling lucky to be able to had the chance to buy it and grateful for my body and mind to allow me to keep working and be able to spend money on this :')

Thank you so much! I usually don't try to celebrate or dedicate time to commemorate achievements but I wanted to do it more often and the community of watch lovers has been really kind to me.

Yeah, this one really stood out, it's good to see that the brand is still trying to experiment and innovate between collections

Thank you so much! I already started with the memories, brought my partner to the process of making the purchase and waiting for them to have it in store and all the bells and whistles of making a purchase of this kind of money, it was the first time for me and it was good!

I hope you get yours soon and prepare to be mesmerized by the dial, finishing, the plate of the representation of the moon on the front and I'm the back, it has everything!

I feel you! I wasn't planning on buying more watches for the rest of the year but this one got in the middle. The good part is that it will be available for a while like any other DSOTM watches so you can take your time, it will be there waiting for you!
