        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.

                            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.

                                        In April.

                                        Email from him yesterday to let me know he's almost done, but for a new crystal and then 10 days of testing and adjustments.

                                        When he's done, I get the watch and a massive PDF showing every step of his process.

                                          hahaha. @Snowy , been waiting awhile for that question to be actually asked here. as much as an apple fanboy myself. i wouldnt be getting that watch. i feel that it doesn't really fit the bill as your typical watch, be it a mechanical or digital watch. i just cant seem to justify that as a watch myself. and even like @derivative666 mentioned, i think other sports watches like suunto might be more practical in that sports sense.

                                            Archer is supposed to be the man!  Turn around time seems a little steep but I've heard nothing but positive reviews of his work. Let us know how it turns out.  I have a beater Tag that is due for service I was going to send up to him.
