Did I disappoint him?

This I love. Growing up in boats you give bronze respect. I started wearing one last summer. It’s about the patina. Enjoy!
Great discussion! My Speedy is the Hasalite, can be worn on the Moon. I'm not planning on going anytime soon but... I suppose most in this conversation were not in their early teens, 7/20/1969, watching a grainy image, on a black and white TV, connected to the world via rabbit ears. Acknowledging this experience, which was mine, perhaps it's these feelings that motivate many to love this watch.
Wow, I thought I was alone but it's comforting to know many others are afflicted. Of the majors I own too many Seiko, Casio, and Omega. Of the micros I own too many Farer and Christopher Ward. I could go multiple on Tudor and Nivada Grenchen. I have my reasons. You realize this is pathologic.
Many reasoned and well thought out comments. The marketing comments are spot on. I have come close but never pulled the trigger on a GS. I have bought (too) many Seiko. The reason I will own one, Springdrive, a totally unique approach to a self-driven timepiece. Runner up, the Hi-Beat 80 hour reserve. These are marvels of ingenuity and engineering.
