Your neck?! Youโ€™re here too?!

Dang, I should move here as itโ€™s kind of a nexus of sun and watch friends

Well what the heck, even though we are that little town south of LA, San Diego is in So Cal! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That has to be within one of the top 5 blue dials Iโ€™ve seen. Gran Seiko knocking it out of the park as usual. All the details are crazy, and donโ€™t get me started on the colorโ€ฆ an incredible combination, without a doubt. Congrats!

Likewise - never seen this model before. V nice using the sub second dial to balance the power reserve.

Spectacular Alan. I love the case design as well seems to drape over the wrist so elegantly.

Great looking watch in the sun Alan. What's the dead looking thing on the rock?

Thanks Wisam!

You got it Pontiac. This case is fantastic. Itโ€™s awkwardly called the โ€˜GS thin dress watch caseโ€™ and is on a few different dress watches, like the Omiwatari.

Inspired by wind filling sails on a sailboat (yay oceans! Iโ€™m into any nautical link to that I can find)

As you observed- itโ€™s incredibly comfortable and close fitting. The Nice high crystal protects those black polished lugs and case sides.

The display was showing polar bears in all their sizes: newborn up to large adult male.

Weirdly the newborn wasnโ€™t painted and was a tarnished bronze color, so kind of didnโ€™t fit with the display ๐Ÿค”

I figured that it was a baby. It looks like momma and poppa bear with a dead baby bear because of the color and the way it's laying. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Very kind words Carlos - thank you! I of course agree ๐Ÿป

Dial is Ryusendo caves - some ultra blue water pools that form underground. But yeah, the color and detail are amazing in even poor lighting. ๐Ÿคฉ

See notes on the case style in my reply above this โฌ†
