    Jesus - I have to think twice paying $8.99 for a sixer of Mickey Big Mouths

    I think this Seiko looks incredible, and I lust after having a spring drive movement. Problem is it's $6,600 which is insane to me for something with a regular Seiko logo on it.

    Gorgeous. I love made in Japan for so much stuff...cars, hi fi, whisky....I’ll never buy a Japanese watch though. Just has no cache.

    Let’s say I was a wealthy woman, or had a generous luv-vah that liked buying me expensive baubles...I would totally add a Grand Seiko to my collection and wear it proudly.

    I have a bit of a watch crush on this one:

    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.

    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?

    The dentist one is funny. Mine drives one of these, but same difference. Has to be Japanese.
