Grand Seiko makes an incredible watch, but they feel cold to me. No soul. Hard to explain. Very clinical watches.

I get it. It's like buying a Camry versus a Mustang. One is like driving an appliance, even though it's probably better engineered.

The GSs are a fantastic watch, by any measure, but yes, they just don't "move" me.

Occasionally GS does some fun stuff, like this Godzilla watch:



But yeah, they’re like a fully loaded Honda CR-V with leather seats.

Exactly this. If watches evoked the feelings of cars, it would be something like this:

Vintage Rolex: A gritty purpose built tool



Modern Rolex: Sleek and powerful but approachable



Patek: Those lines! Those lines! Elegant, and timeless.



FP Journe: A work of art.



Audemars Piguet: Classic and stunning. With soul for days.



Grand Seiko: Impeccable in all respects, but my boring ass dentist drives it.



@Doog_de_Jour

No Omega? Hurtful.

We? Landed on the god damned fucking moon!!

Are there any GS' that at least approach this level of Lexus? Cuz this is one I would drive in a heartbeat (yes I am skipping the LF-A).




Maybe this is the one?

Sorry man.

Omega: We landed on the goddamn fucking moon!!!!




But seriously, Omega is a bad ass Mustang.

Nice to see this thread come back to life again.

But, it makes me very impatient for my next purchase.

I quite love them. Both keepers. Got the collection consolidated way down to a handful of epic keepers, and one beater.

I'll definitely be adding an AP to my collection. Probably won't be for another 3 years.

Merry Christmas watch lovers!

One of these days I’m traveling to Virginia and robbing Swaye.

The mercedes gull wing is my favorite car, so now I need an AP.

Orkin hiring?

Make sure you are ready. It's a war up in here.

Apparently @Swaye and @PurpleBaze exude both power and dangerously attractive nonchalance:

Pro-tip boys: If you want to push the look (of the Daytona) to its limit, try wearing it with one of this season's structured menswear-inspired shirts—and leave a few buttons strategically undone.

Get in line, already vacationing nearby and checking out the local Winchester scene. Real nice downtown outdoor mall for strolling and scoring meth.

I see Swaye's Patek and raise him a $40 G-Shock.

Your 40 dollar watch keeps better time than my 60,000 dollar watch. #facts

Well I don't have to worry about anyone breaking into my house - maybe a Duck that wants to jump up and down on it?

and if it was a car - maybe my truck



one of the reasons I liked the watch was the black to match the night edition truck

Mrs Lebam won't let me change the plates though waaaa waaaa waaaa damn weasel

PurpleBaze

Nice truck, @LebamDawg!!!!

You fucking guys.

I browse this thread admiring all these beautiful watches ... and I'm reminded that my yearly opportunity to buy something like this is spent on property taxes.

And again, I'm relegated to buying kirkland brand t-shirts Costco instead.

Fuck!
