Always save for what you want, don't fall into the trap of instant-gratification!

You will end up with a bunch of watches that you're not happy with--and still be yearning for the watch you wanted originally.

commented on A brand you will never buy? ·

Grand Seiko

Why pay $4k for a Seiko?

harder to get than a real ExplorerI, it sold out in 30 seconds last time the shop opened...

You can find it for 3x retail on ebay though!

If you make it yourself...

commented on Power Reserve Complication? Yay or nay? Love it? Hate it? ·

Good on some dials. 

My main complaint with power reserve complications is that they sometimes hurt an otherwise amazing dial (Grand Seiko, I'm looking at you).

commented on Red Flag? Red Flag ·

Read carefully. The watch has been sitting idle for an indeterminant length of time until the seller happened upon it. It is running and keeping time now but the seller advises the buyer to get the movement serviced because they aren't sure how long it has been sitting.

It's just a watch, it's in no way affiliated with the happenings in eastern Europe currently. Frankly the anti-Russian sentiment that's currently in vogue is baffling. I've heard of people disvowing from reading Tolstoy out of this misplaced anti-Russo rhetoric. And those reports of people pouring perfectly good Russian vodka down the drain... 

Again, it's just a sub $100 dollar watch. Don't think too deeply on it.
