      Well this I didnt see happening but here we are 😀 I went to my local watch shop to do some pricing on IWC models, and they had the one I wanted in stock at a good price. I was ready to whip out my credit card whenever Another jewelry store Clerk asked me if I had been on the tutor FXD list. Apparently there was one on order and the guy never came to pick it up so BOOM! Perfect Bday gift to myself.

              [mention]Matt [/mention] i value my balls far too much for that move although it was tempting

              [mention]goosehd [/mention] thanks!

              [mention]Cutlasshound [/mention] it’s a great watch. It is similar to my Black Bag but it wears much flatter than I would’ve ever thought. The dial & lume are super crisp, the movement is COSC, and I’m super happy that there is a 70 hour autonomy to it. I’m pretty thrilled with it.

                Newly announced Grand Seiko manual-wound spring drive, limited edition of 100pieces, in Europe only (+Africa for some reason). Gorgeous.

                      A date window on that GS would make it even better IMHO.

                            I’m at least a little relieved that this will unobtainable for me because I would be tempted to do something very stupid! I havent felt this much lust for a watch in a long time. Last one was the Tadao Ando Bulgari Octo….too beautiful for words!

                              I too…looked it up last night and I believe it goes on sale Jan 1st for 9600 Euro.  Even started looking around for things to sale to justify the cost.

                                I've been in touch with a dealer in Europe with whom I've "done business" in the past. They're willing to reserve a unit and ship it to me. I have a couple months to sell a few things…

                                  @JDelage please share pictures if you do get it.  I really like the direction Grand Seiko has been going especially with their nature series.

                                    I like date windows as a matter of practicality, but dislike them as a matter of aesthetics in most instances, especially this one.

                                    When GS reins in their instincts to clutter the dial, they're hard to beat.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      I often have to check the time, I rarely have to check the date. Personally I dislike date windows.

                                      This model isn't going to be released until December at the earliest, so it's not going to be in my hands ay time, if at all (plenty could go wrong in the meantime).

                                          Those small, hand wound, no-date GS are absolutely lovely and are great value when compared to the rest of the range.

                                            Agree whole heartedly. I saw this watch in St Martin but it was sadly just out of reach. What a lovely thing it is….

                                            Has anyone seen the new King Seiko watches? ~$1800 with subtle colored dials and wear well. Movement is a little less than mind blowing though.
