It is pretty rare, they made 50 pieces so quite hard to find. It is only 42.8mm but dwarfs the GP which is 42mm. Some kind of optical illusion! The bracelet is chunky and well made, 22mm tapering to 19mm. Fits absolutely flush to the case. It has 8 position micro adjustment whilst on the wrist giving up to 10mm of adjustment all within a very modest size clasp. Superb engineering.
The GP bracelet is full ceramic and looks amazing. No micro adjustment but has half links which help getting a good fit. It has to be seen to be appreciated. Beautiful.

Like that Moser👍
I set my mind to trying a Grand Seiko probably around the time of the logo change a couple of years ago, but it's taken until now for the stars to align and for me to find the right one. In the meantime of course the brand has seen even more of an explosion in popularity, so apologies for posting yet another GS!
I know the power reserve indicator can be a bit marmite for some folk (not sure why this is especially so for GS more than other brands - maybe because the dials are just so exquisite?), but I'd actually loose the date before the power reserve - in the metal I find it's not that intrusive.

A SKX for me. Forgot how much I liked them...

Just dropped through the letterbox: Zuludiver Perforated Sailcloth with beige stitching. Really liking this it blends well with the Ocean Vintage Red dial markers.
I'd originally ordered a Zuludiver Rubber strap from watchgecko but sent it back as it was too thick (nurse!). Got this as a replacement from WG after a week duration turnaround with their returns service.
Also got a Leather Steinhart strap on its way from SC so I'll see how that compares when it arrives later this week.
Just received this SubC from SC.
Really love the clean look without the Cyclops.

This one landed today. Looks Minty fresh to me!
To all those ceramic nay sayers - Bah Humbug!!
This was signed for just before 11am today but the post room at work didn't open until 3pm. Long wait but very nice!

Yeah I jumped on it cos I’ve been wanting to try a GS for a while but just waiting for the right one to come along. Another member kindly made the intro to a dealer down in the South.
Did you call into the GS boutique on Madison when you were in NYC? I was deeply underwhelmed when I visited recently.

Thank you, we've both had similar pick ups. Yours looks like a lot more effort has gone into it than mine. The brushed ceramic is lovely Very very nice indeed. Thank you, was a bit of an impulse and now something else has to go to balance the books but it's lovely. The delights of SC. This forum would have me scared to wear it above carpet.
