        I think it unlikely that it will arrive in The IH Japan offices before I leave for China, so may be a few weeks of (painful) waiting.....

          Getting a GS that doesn’t have Spring Drive would bother me on some level. Good choice!

          Think it, be it.

            Their high beat movement is very nice also. You cannot go wrong with either Spring drive or the high beat. Accuracy wise Spring drive is in a class of each own.

              Yeah I like all of the movements and respect them but if I had one GS it would need to be SD just because it’s so damn Seiko and so damn Japanese to optimize the escapement in such a clever way.

              Think it, be it.

                There was a watch show today here in Austin. A bunch of micro brands showing their stuff. Some of my favorite brands I saw were Vertex, Baltic, Raven, Lorier, Farer, Fears and Artefkt. I didn’t get a pic of Raven or Artefkt, but they’re both very cool watch designs, especially the Artefkt. I’ll add a stock image of both.

                The cool thing about the show, was the owners of the brands were at most of the booths. So I got to meet the people who designed and brought these watches to life! It was a free and very fun and simple event called Intersect.

                  I like Fears a lot. They have an excellent eye for design.

                        @Neru-6 Cheers dude.. love the superocean as well, and it pairs up superbly with the 21oz denim and the slubby shirt there.

                          @VoodooRay Thanks bro ! I think at some point I will also buy an Explorer. This is the perfect "everyday" watch. So classy, I love it.

                            @Neru-6 highly recommended for an everyday watch or even an only watch, I have a few others that I hardly ever use.

                                @Giles just in case, I watched this video and I saw that. Timestamp 6:35. It was one month ago but it can be still there.

                                Dunno if it can be interesting for you :

                                    @Giles said in Watches - another OCD problem:

                                    Springdrive for the win, but the mechanical is more classic and a better size.
                                    As you are in Japan now you have all the chances to check them out IRL.

                                      @Giles Excellent choice. Well done.

                                      I like spring drives especially when the power reserve is on the back.

                                          @seawolf I love when lume is shining in mid light conditions.
