The exposed screws on most of the Formex models really put me off their designs. I say Baltic all the way!

I had a Junghans Max Bill Quartz 38 but it always had a problem with the plexiglass always shattering from the inside, even when kept in a case. Had it changed about 5 times until I finally gave up on it and sold it.

A luthier friend of mine hypothesised something about the inside forces or bad angles that would always break the plexiglass.

Such a shame because I really loved the design and the thinness.

Mine is a Casio Oceanus T200 SLE, and I love it. And I have been eyeing The Citizen Chronomaster, but the one with the white paper dial and the 'Chronomaster' text instead of the logo.

But for your choices I too would go with the Grand Seiko...

Beautiful! What's the strap?
