Watches - another OCD problem

[hjl360]

@chiverus I would be super keen to see that list, heading to Japan for the first time later this year.

I have started a Watch Shops in Japan thread here

@hjl360

@chiverus has placed a list of stores in this thread

[StarsSuck]

@chiverus send me the list whenever you can. The trip is happening, probably not this summer, likely in the winter.

@Giles super helpful. Are you a Seiko fan as well?

[Giles]

I have a couple

I am a huge GS fan.....

Scratches and an irritating strap change system aside, it's a classic.

[Giles]

Dunno what the strap change regime is on that, but I have been putting off putting a new strap on my 50 Fathoms for weeks now, because it is just so fucking hard......

[StarsSuck]

@Giles it's not so much the challenge here, but the limitations: they have a "proprietary" system which they sue to protect. Meaning few strap options and I like strap options! What's the deal with the 50 fathoms?

[Giles]

0.5mm allen screws through the lug into the strap bar. Seeing what you are doing is one thing, lining the fuckers up is another. And I like to Loctite the threads, so I get that everyfuckingwhere.....
