Thank you all, I can't take it off my wrist.
It gained 1.5 seconds in 48 hours and I think that's pretty good for a mechanical watch that's not broken in yet.

Awesome. It may sound weird, but I have great respect a person that chooses a GS.

Hope to have one some day.

That high beat sweep is fantastic.

Those are great pictures of even greater watches
As a GS owner myself, I am happy to say that I know how truly beautiful GS watches are. Congratulations again :-)

I'm weak.
Add one more.
SBGJ011 Hi Beat GMT in Seiko's proprietary Ti.






To top it off, the book that the VP of Seiko promised me arrived today as well, and it's signed by the watchmaker I met and assembled my LE Grand Seiko.

This is great, many congrats on two amazing watches. I've toyed with the idea of getting a GS many times, and one is probably in my future. I LOVE GS hands, they look like they could slice the dial open!

That watchmaker looks very proud. And he should be.
