Rolex or Grand Seiko. Part 2

[airwave]

My first GS arrived while I was in the sandpit, absolutely exquisite.
Feels very light, obviously made for smaller wrists (I'm on second last hole on the strap)

would post up on original thread but it's now locked.

happy bunny (despite freezing my bits off being back in Scotland now)



really difficult to get in a picture just how "Lively" the watch is, think this one conveys a little of the "life" in the watch.
The 16613 that usually lives there has much more "Presence" on the wrist that the SBGM031 but, both put such a smile on my face for very different reasons.
Rolex is superb.
GS is superb.
The amount of flying I do, absolute accuracy is a moot point as I tend to be re-setting local time so often (tho the local time setting on the 031 is seriously well thought out, so I might see cumulative errors on that)

You'll never impress a non WIS with a GS as it is "just" a Seiko.
But you'll never annoy people wearing a GS as it is "just" a Seiko.

I don't think you can choose one over the other as they are so different.
just my $0.02.

Now, I'm back off to stare at my watch (and then still be none the wiser what time it is)

How silly is it that we can / do stare at our timepieces without registering what time it is
wrist art / fine engineering / source of happy smiles.

excuse iPhone photo, best I could do.
