I'd take a GS Snowflake over a Submariner any day.

And that Daytona is beautiful, BK.

Enjoying all these Grand Seikos, but the redundant branding is off-putting (SEIKO and then GS and then Grand Seiko). The dial would be much more attractive if they ditched the GS and retained Grand Seiko and placed it in lieu of the SEIKO branding. Not sure about that gothic font either, but I suppose that ship has already sailed from a branding perspective.

^^^^ What you're seeing is Japanese for sure. Overstated, understated, reserved, in place, but a little redundant. It's everywhere over there, it's part of the culture's charm. It's true to the place it comes from as much as anything else.

Unrelated I bit the bullet last week and purchased some Maratac Zulu's. Holy sh!t they were worth the premium.

Maratacs are a great choice of strap. Have a few with the matte black hardware and they are pretty solid! Interested if anyone has any experience of the maratac flight watch?

The Hill-Side just came out with watch straps.

Worn and Wound has a review of them.

Had a vendor in the office today wearing one of these;

Different to anything I've seen IRL.

I'd seen him wearing it nearly 9 months ago and never managed to work out what it was. Today I outright asked what it was, glad I did, finally can let it rest

I'm torn. I hate open hearts but love moon phase watches…
