Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver Titanium

Hello everyone! After looking at several watches and much debate, I finally decided to get this beautiful watch. The quality is exceptional, and it wears comfortably on my wrist. If you have not considered a Grand Seiko before, try one and you will not be disappointed!

If only it weren't so massive (for my wrist/preference anyway). Otherwise, yes, definitely.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I happen to like big(ger) watches, so the size of this GS doesn't bother me. I see 44mm Panerai on regular size wrists all the time, and I don't think they are massive. Just gives the watch more character in my opinion.

Agreed. I'd be all over a GS 40mm diver with any movement.

I have one of these and like it a lot. Very light and comfortable and the sweep of the spring drive is kind of mesmerizing... haha. That pin and collar situation in the bracelet can be tricky the first time you try to size it but once you figure it out it's not bad at all.

Congrats, that's a beautiful diver! Spring Drive is pretty cool, too, I'm definitely going to jump in those waters at some point!
