Grand Seiko Shunbun (SBGA413)

Just got this yesterday. I've always appreciated Grand Seiko but was never sure if I'd buy one myself. Long story short, I tried on a bunch of differe...

commented on My choice instead of any Rolex, JLC Polaris 41 mm ·

I agree, I prefer this too.

But if I had to pick a divewatch in the Rolex MSRP price range, I'd go for the Glashütte Original SeaQ with the blue dial.

Nah, Tudor now is what Rolex was 20 years ago.

Rolex have become too "nice" so to speak, the Rolex hype have put Rolex in a different spot than they used to be.

Poor Man's Rolex was a thing back when Tudor consisted of Rolex cases housing ETA movements.

Probably a JLC Geophysic True Second

It's elegant, yet not too elegant for casual wear, simple design with a legible dial, beautiful movement and a truly unique complication.

It goes under the radar for everyone who isn't deeply into watches and JLC and I really like that aspect about it too.

commented on Why do IWC's not get more respect? ·

I think the IWC Aquatimer is super cool and severely underrated.

It was THE watch that made me fall in love with wristwatches. Before I heard about IWC, I was somewhat into watches but it was all about designer-quartz watches like Festina and Fossil.

I remember I had somewhat recently bought a Maserati Quartz Chronograph with a pretty cool design, I liked it a lot and personally thought a lot of these expensive Swiss brands were boring and uninteresting.

While on vacation with my parents (I think we were in Germany), my dad and I decided to check out some watch dealers just to have a look and on our way out we were handed these free catalogues, one of those being an IWC catalogue.

When we got back to the vacation home I started looking through this catalogue and then I saw the IWC Aquatimer, black dial on black rubber and it looked so effin' cool!

Such a clean design and nothing like anything I've seen before or since!

Man I still think it's so cool!

It became a dream of mine to some day own an IWC if I could ever afford it, it seemed like an impossible dream for me at the time.

But now that I have bought several watches in this price range, it just dawned on me that I haven't fulfilled my teenage dream.

My taste has changed quite a bit and I'm just worried I won't end up wearing it all that often if I ever decide to buy one, it's simply too big and tall for me.

Tool watches are cool, but dress watches are my true passion these days.

I think IWC make some of the cleanest contemporary designs in the industry and I'm still considering getting an IWC some day, I just can't decide which one.

In short: Incredible watch! One of the most overlooked divewatches in its price segment.

commented on Spaghetti Scameti.... ·

Honestly I think he just decided to see how it turns out, I presume he's making a small profit from it but probably not much, otherwise I can't imagine he'd keep this thing going this long.

I think the joke got old pretty quickly, in my opinion the original kickstarter-video skit was enough.

commented on First watch of 2024 ·

Incredibly beautiful watch!

Roman nunerals on dress watches is just 👌

It's a very beautiful watch indeed.

I just personally wish it was smaller and if they used a manual movement instead of an automatic to also slim it down a bit then I would probably buy one right now.

When browsing Facebook groups, Reddit and WatchCrunch I often find posts from people trying to decide whether or not a wristwatch is really for them....
