Watches - another OCD problem

[derivative666]

Damn you Anesthetist & Friday now I'm on watch forums checking about GS Vs Submariners

[grandmasterben]

Dude, go for the gs. Everything I've read says that gs are unbeatable for the price and that they're for people who want to impress themselves, not others.

Anesthetist and Friday, those two watches are probably my favorites out of the GS catalogue, good work again!

The limited edition version of Fridays watch is also super fucking nice

(Seiko SBGM031)

That is a very nice watch but hard to compare with a dateless sub. Two very different pieces, each with their own merits IMO.

I'm still pining for a Tudor Black Bay. Hoping to pick one up in the autumn or early 2015.

And BabyKnight – awesome pick-up and background!

I'd take a GS Snowflake over a Submariner any day.

And that Daytona is beautiful, BK.

Enjoying all these Grand Seikos, but the redundant branding is off-putting (SEIKO and then GS and then Grand Seiko). The dial would be much more attractive if they ditched the GS and retained Grand Seiko and placed it in lieu of the SEIKO branding. Not sure about that gothic font either, but I suppose that ship has already sailed from a branding perspective.

^^^^ What you're seeing is Japanese for sure. Overstated, understated, reserved, in place, but a little redundant. It's everywhere over there, it's part of the culture's charm. It's true to the place it comes from as much as anything else.

Unrelated I bit the bullet last week and purchased some Maratac Zulu's. Holy sh!t they were worth the premium.

Maratacs are a great choice of strap. Have a few with the matte black hardware and they are pretty solid! Interested if anyone has any experience of the maratac flight watch?

I really like that one Seul and I believe they are made by Citizen to boot.
