I always do research on watch dimensions and even try to Photoshop it onto my wrist, but still sometimes factors such as the shape of the case, bracelet, can make the watch not fit.

Sometimes, when the watch is priced above 1000 USD, the price difference is also higher from the gray market, and that makes me think again about buying from AD.

It's a shame you had a bad experience with the gray market, where I live, there are several sellers who have good service and prices, although the downside is that I can't try the watch directly.

"too easy to get a great deal on a watch that you actually don't need". I was proven guilty too in this matter 😂

Sometimes I do this, especially for Seiko Diver, if they don't fit me, I can sell them back with not much loss, while saving for my grail watch.

How about the accuracy of your watch? Can you still rely on it ?

And for daily use, how long does it take for you to service a vintage watch?

commented on Seiko 5 Vintage Advice ·

Yes, it looks cool, I prefer vintage Seiko designs for dress watches over modern ones, they look more timeless and classy. Most modern Seikos tend to have large diameters.
