Nice bracelet! I have been considering doing the same myself, but I still haven't done it.
Nice, a grand seiko similar to this...I think SBGR311 really kicked off my watch collecting. Ironically though, I still haven't picked up a grand seiko at all. Really should get to that, but my list is incredibly long.Nice bracelet! I have been considering doing the same myself, but I still haven't done it.
May I ask, where did you buy it?
Here's mine:
I understand the "long list" issue. I have a lot of watches, but not many above $400. With that said, I am totally in love with my GS SBGM235 (pictured), and one day I will have a spring drive. I think it's the pinnacle of awesomeness in terms of movements. It's unique, beautiful, and - with last year's innovation - phenomenal to have a FIVE DAY power reserve on a kinetic watch (!).Nice, a grand seiko similar to this...I think SBGR311 really kicked off my watch collecting.

That's a really good way of looking at the watch hobby. You can really dive off the deep end there if you don't know how to hold yourself back. I used to be very voracious with the watch collecting before I realized I'd been running after the flavour of the month rather than buying watches I genuinely wanted, and, as a consequence, I've slowed down over the years. Reading too many watch blogs, and looking at instagram too much gives you a strange kind of void that never gets filled so I really do agree that you should enjoy what you have now rather than constantly looking forward towards the next acquisition...super unhealthy even if the high from buying a new one is always so addicting.I understand the "long list" issue.

With that said, I don't make enough disposable income for me to logically spend the money required to get a spring drive at this point in time. It might be several years before I bite the bullet (if ever). At the same time, I think it's healthy to "want" and be willing to wait for giving in to desires of personal interest that have no need for practical application. Thus, it may be 3-10 years before I get a spring drive.
Will my watch collection be complete? Of course not! Just like the desire to enjoy audio gear... the pursuit is some of the fun. The reality of achieving a goal only makes you seek the NEXT goal.
I have learned to stop chasing the dragon, and spend more time enjoying what I have NOW and appreciating the fact I have THAT instead of worrying about what I don't have.

Honestly, any photo involving a trio reminds me of this gifStill hoping to get "The Man of "G"" trio, these to me are the Shock pinnacle. How could you be referred to anything other than Mr. wearing that three tone beauty I'd literally label that case "The Three Amigos"
Ah yes Hefe, would you say I have a Plethora of watches As they say imitation is one of the best forms of flattery knownHonestly, any photo involving a trio reminds me of this gif
While Casio watches aren't really my thing. The Mr. Gs seem to take a few interesting cues from other watches. I can't help but attribute the dial and bezel design a little to both the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 2nd Gen/Phase 2 models (Mr. G has a more "gruff/manly" design direction) and the Hublot Big Bangs for the unique screw heads. The pushers seem like classic G-Shock with a little more flair, and the overall case and bracelet design gives the oft-done nod to the ever iconic Submariner. Gives it a rugged sophistication that isn't normally what I'd think of for G-Shocks while still maintaining, to Casio's credit, an unmistakable "G-Shock" look even from afar.

I have but only two watches I consider my dress watches, one of which (you've already viewed) is my Ti Orient and this is the other, really want to try a couple more of these at some point but with both my sons in college at the moment I've put myself in temporary purchasing exile LOL
Maybe I fibbed a little, this was a gift from my wife but the hokey diamonds are just a little to blingy for my taste but I never said that
