    Speaking of Gshocks, my cousin Dave who frequents Tokyo on business picked this gem up for me.
    It is the newest Japanese domestic (Japan made too) '5000 solid screw in case back, solar, atomic, and the band is super smooth. Next to the Frogman line, this is one of the finest basic Gshocks that Casio makes!

      I really like that GW5000, totally bad ass lifetime watch. I have 2 vintage screwback squares, a 5200 and a gold trimmed 5600, these are my daily workers. I also have a couple of the Frogman, including the solar atomic beast. Gotta love a pile of G's

        QP magazine has published an announcement of the new Pinion Revival 1969 watch. It takes its name from the new old stock Valjoux 7734 movement at its heart.

        I've seen Giles's Pinion, and like its look. But the 1969 is much sharper.

        It'll be £4950 / €5,160 / $6,850 direct from Pinion.

          We're using that crown on the production IH/Pinions…..

            Is $7k reasonable for that movement? Not saying it isn't, just asking.

            Think it, be it.

              Getting into El Primero territory but it is good movement in its own right.

                Yeah, I have a similar Valjoux-based movement that's automatic, more bph, more jewels and has a quickset date on it, and I paid less than half that for the watch–that's why I was curious. Gorgeous watch either way, and obviously the movement isn't the only thing to consider.

                Think it, be it.

                  Might be alone on this one, but I feel watches with black dials should have black date wheels.  Just makes for a cleaner look, I think.

                    Waiting in line at the DMV wearing a dive watch 🙂 The Seiko Monster is a very useful watch to have around. It is nice to have a reliable auto that can take a beat down.

                          Really nice Friday. Much nicer angle too ;). Such a stunning watch.

                            @Snowy  Thanks.. Mate. They're a piece of art for sure.

                                IMO grand seiko is very understated. It is a piece of art. Thanks Carlmart..

                                    Going to an event at the new Seiko boutique in NYC next week.  Looking forward to getting my hands on some of their stuff!

                                      Probably the right thread for the question. Anyone here interested in the Apple Watch? If anyone from a watch PoV is going to wear it, it'd be someone in here….

                                        Since there's a bit of Seiko love around here, Hodinkee did a piece on the High Beat Grand Seiko with the limited edition green dial.

                                        They've also got a preview of the upcoming Watches of Knightsbridge auction.

                                        This Omega chronograph looks sweet.

                                        @Snowy - I don't have any plans to get an Apple Watch. It looks interesting, but it doesn't play well with other phones, and I'm pretty tied into the Android world right now.

                                          I am going to get an apple watch. It ties in well with my lifestyle. It will replace my fitbit. I am also a biased apple fanboy.

                                          It is not to replace my Seiko and or my my future dateless Submariner. It will be used strictly as a casual sports watch.
