Very attractive watch. Congrats!Whelp, after the first watch I posted 1.5 years ago, I'll finish with my favorite acquisition (I appreciate this one as much as the Omega. It's a tie):
The Grand Seiko SBGM235.
A limited edition release from early last year, the moment I saw it I knew I wanted it. I've always wanted two Grand Seikos... a 9S-based movement as well as a spring drive watch. I don't own a spring drive, but maybe I'll get one in a couple years, if I still have a job and saved the money up for one.
What I love about this watch is how well it catches the light and seems to change appearance. The first picture is a flat lighting, "normal" representation of its appearance. The next couple photos shows how it pops and seems to shift color hues, and the depth of the etching in the dial really shows off its precision.
I'm fond of Grand Seiko. Their watches provide a lot of bang for the buck. Their movements are innovative, and quite a feat of horology (especially for the price). They don't rest on their laurels, and the polished shine on the cases are spectacular.
I think this is a beautiful watch, and I'm proud to have it in my collection. It's also a nice pairing with my Spectre Omega. Both of them are limited editions with a movement that I am intrigued by; both have a unique dial with an interesting pattern on them; while alternately, there is a blue dial and a white dial watch.
So, here are pics:
I don't like the recent trend of printed casebacks, otherwise a superb design.
