I like GS but for the life of me I can't understand this one. It has many complication that's for sure, because I'm positive that I can spot inside a tumbler from a laundry machine and a whisk mixer. But how am I supposed to use it for telling the time?

All jokes aside, this is very cool. Sign me up for two

OK, just a little math on this. So each of the 20 people would get 18.25 days a year with the watch. And over 10 years this comes out to about $40/day. Hmmm... .maybe this isn't such a bad idea.

Until a dummy tries to switch bands after drinking too much Scotch, and drops it on the kitchen floor.

I feel the exact same about the Cartier Masse Mysterious. Might sell my soul. Devil, give me a call and we can negotiate

Completely with you! Impressive engineering but totally hideous. And I am a big GS fan. There’s clearly a segment they think will go for this though - good luck to them.

If we *all* sold our kidneys though... 😂

What time is it?? I love GS but not this! Could have made time more difficult to read! 🤣

Can’t tell the time, never mind the lume!

·

Sorry to inform you that a kidney is not enough value for that much money 🤣 Future nephrologist here

·

That is one ugly watch. As you can tell I’m not a big fan of skeleton dials.

·

All those complications and it is still thinner than any of GS’s non-quartz GMT’s

·

Awful, completely illegible.

Looks like a mechanical mess to me.

Hard pass, even at £365.. sorry!

·

This was on my must buy list if somehow I became filthy rich over night. It is absolutely gorgeous. I wish Grand Seiko would show off more of their technical complication chops besides F* You money watches.
