Yep, nice pickup OP. The best spring drive diver I've seen.

Grand Seiko just take this here watch, reduce the dimensions and weight, maybe even in Ti, and you'll sell tens of thousands.

Love the dial.

How big is the cookie jar, looked really small or tight fit? Do you got the box as well or just the watch?

The watch feels perfect for my 17cm wrist. Not too big at all. It is a 'substantial' watch but hugs the wirst to perfection.

Snug fit, just perfect really. That parcel could have fallen out of an airplane and the watch would be working and in one piece. It was packed to perfection. Lots of foam inside the jar, and around it a cardboard protective box. Never has a watch arrived with this kind of protection.

Box and papers shipped separately, unfortunately the carrier managed to lose the parcel so at the moment I am a little worried I have a watch with no box and papers. Seller is worried, I am worried , carrier is apologizing and has already credited the duty and import charges because of it. Hopefully I'll still get them but hope is low at the moment.
At some point both parcels were missing so very relieved I at least have the watch.

Would give me anxiety. Especially with a watch this special. Hope you'll get everything sorted out.

So far I've picked up all my watches in person.

Malaysia is a little far to pick up...
Anyway, the watch is a keeper. I have several watches I'll never sell so it is not a big issue regarding resale. But still hope for a favorable outcome.
