      @JDelage said in Watches - another OCD problem:

      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…

              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.

                    Think it, be it.

                      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!

                              I'm eagerly waiting for GS to produce thinner GMT movements. I love their GMTs, but they're a bit on the thick side.

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

                                Think it, be it.

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

                                          I have no idea how I didn't find this thread earlier... In addition to my IH addiction watches are a real problem....

                                          I started off with a JLC Home time, which I loved, especially as I didn't want my first watch to be a Rolex, which I felt I'd be judged for... But quickly I realized it was a little to dressy for my jeans and t-shirt lifestyle.

                                            So the next step was to pick up a Omega Seamaster 300 which was also great, but it still wasn't for some reason exactly what I wanted...
