Watches - another OCD problem
-
I always wondered how the Sakura dial worked, is it different layers of urushi lacquer? Also for a size 39mm watch, it certainly has a significant wrist presence!

I really like that case shape (62GS).
It's often the case with GS that a given dial color / texture will be a lot more clear in pictures than in real life. It's regrettable IMHO. If one wants a pink dial, they want a pink dial, not an off white one.
I could not agree more. I really wanted a Sakura for the pinkness. I tried @Cutlasshound 's on, and whilst it was a lovely watch and I coveted it a lot, it was not very pink......

@Giles this model is still readily available and is a lovely frosty pink in person. It is small though…

Yeah, now that is the one I want....
I found a good deal on one in St Maarten and almost had the missus on board but in the end was a no go

Ha! @Anesthetist We honeymooned there and I recall having very similar conversations in jewelry stores with Katie. 15 years later and much better off we still have the same conversations.

Traded my Black Bay for a Ranger. Love it.
I never could dig the ‘rivets’ on the BB bracelet and the rose gold didn’t grow on me like I thought it would. Also coveting a 14060 Sub at some point down the line so I felt ok getting rid of my dive watch.
Really drawn to the 60s look of the Ranger. It’s weightier than the BB and most importantly has the T-Fit clasp!
-
That is a lovely watch--and I am with you on the rivets. Non-functional affectations bother me more than they should.
-
Yeah man, solid choice there. If I didnt have its brother I’d be in the market for one myself.

The last time I posted in this thread was 2009, better late than never I guess.... saw some Grand Seiko talk and had to come drop some photos in of a few models I own!

Missed this one..

Dead sexy @Crease ; jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel go together like Oyster bracelet and smooth bezel IMO and that dial is perfect.

I’ll play - Omega Seamaster professional - black ceramic. Everyday desk diver!

Hello, here's some pictures of my current daily, Zenith Defy Classic - pretty difficult to capture the dial well in pictures.

Love for bronze !

Tried this one the other day from a colleague
