Re: It's Grand Seiko time: on making the choice

Good choice indeed. If it were me I'd have gone the same way (that dial is a cracker) except that I already have the SBGA099. I too think you have to have the iconic blue second hand.

I can tell you this though: when you live with it you won't be disappointed 8)

Re: Watches that have haunted you?

I hate Wempe as a result- even if she’d phoned and asked me (like they did when they wanted the sale), then I could have explained but the email was so snidey in tone too. When I got my Reverso 6 months later, I walked past with the bag and resisted the urge do some kind of Pretty Woman scene reena...

They got discontinued a month later and to top it all off I got a snotty letter from the AD telling me I was barred as they knew I’d sold it! (I gave it to someone I know for rrp, the whole experience haunts me!)
WOT?! So crass, no need to ever darken their door again.......

Despite the posting issue, one can't have too many pictures of a beauty like her though!

The cases differ thus requiring different end links, so not compatible.

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

And CW bracelets are on the affordable end of the scale too. For something like the Sealander Elite with the titanium bracelet I think buying on the bracelet is a "no brainer". This is true, however it seems the trade off is limited lifetime availability - when a model run ends so do the ...

Re: C63 Sealander Collection

In terms of long term value I would say you are absolutely correct. I might buy on the bracelet because CW change their cases every so often so that new bracelets may not fit. I had this with my Mk II C60 Trident when the Mk III came out. Who knows what will happen when CW introduce the MK IV tride...

Don't sweat it. At the worst a whole Sellita 200 from Cousins is £120, all will turn out well.

Evocative shots Steve, good that you had a getaway.

I was there myself many years ago with a Greek mate from Athens, pretty island.

Re: Show your pet!

A couple of good looking, contented pooches, if there ever was some!!.. Thanks Chuck! They take up a little more room than your two (we live in an old cottage) but just as cuddly I'll bet. Lately we have a few French bulldogs around here and our two seem to really like them, such sociable chaps, pl...

Re: AR Coating

From what I have seen it's a replacement or polish it off and live without. The outer AR is not such a big deal though some people swear by it. I also believe that in recent years the outer AR treatments available have become more durable so it might be worth discussing an OEM replacement though not...
