Most watch-nerdy watch
My first post - Im really enjoying this forum.
I’ve just purchased this Grand Seiko SBGN003 - I love the look, but more importantly I really wanted to add an F series high accuracy quartz movement to the collection. It’s the nerd in me.
What watches have others bought for their “nerd value”?

Got it because
My wife looks at me like I have antenna growing out of my head whenever I tell her about my watches' special specs. Then again, I look at her the same way when she tells me about her paintings. So, it's fair.
Hello KiwiWayne I see that you are from Hurricane country Chiefs supporter here but based in Auckland
Well played @KiwiWayne. I love GMT watches (haven't got one yet) and to get it in a Grand Seiko. Yep. That'll do me 👍👏
What a great looking piece! Congratulations. I've been craving a GMT, and this one is high on the list. Thanks for sharing the pic! And welcome!
Sweet watch👊.
I’d love a GS! Planning a trip to the GSstudio next time I go to Japan (bloody Covid… )
My watch nerd watch craving is for a spring drive. ..
And I’ve got my first one coming in the mail!
I do lots of crazy sports - so ordered a SNR043. 🤓🤪
pics and first impressions when I get it in a week or 2!
This bad boy is arriving today. I bought it because I love it, but the whole reason I learned about Zodiac in the first place* is because I’m a big ol’ true crime/all things macabre nerd. So of course I need a Zodiac watch - it marries two of my obsessions. Don’t get me wrong. I love this watch. The fact that is also scratches the true crime connection itch is a bonus.
*and, incidentally, had a lot to do with my obsession with watches in general

Beautiful watch - and exactly the kind of reasons I can respect. It is the analysis and rationale that goes into the decision and purchase that makes it exciting for me. Much kudos!

The spring drive is a nerdy reason for me to get one one day too! I look forward to your pics.

Wow, wow, wow! Can't wait to see pics!
I guess all of my watches are somewhat "nerdy" since they are part of one of my many collecting hobbies. 😀 However, I would say that I have three watches in my collection for their nerd value in one way or another.
My nerd Moon watch; the Bulova Lunar Pilot.
The Bulova Computron, a nerd blast from the past.
The Casio A100 Pac Man.

Awesome - love them all
I’ve had the same GS 9F GMT for a year and it hasn’t gained or lost one second, not one!!! I absolutely love this watch’s case size/proportions, jumping hour hand, and accuracy.
I like to collect pieces that reference brands’ heritage and nothing is more synonymous than Seiko/GS than a super quartz. Great choice!
I just bought a spring drive for the same season.
