Watches - another OCD problem

Where's the pic ???

@Snowy was looking for a GMT / travel watch a few weeks back. Jaeger LeCoultre have just released one, but he'll need more than a few of my sweet pounds to cover it. :o
-
No self respecting Australian should buy that one- the map only shows the northern hemisphere. Clear anti-Antipodean bias. Boycott Jaeger LeCoultre!

Not sure how I feel about a close up of my hairy arm, but here ya go!
Beautiful watch. Unfortunately it's now sitting in the box waiting for a trip back to the dealer tomorrow. I looked down at about 6:48 and noticed the hands hadn't moved since 6:32. I thought that maybe my life is too sedentary and it ran out of juice, but it's still not moving after a thorough winding. Pretty bummed, but hopefully it's something the dealer can easily fix, or replace if needed. Feeling pretty happy now that I wend the AD route instead of grey market.

Men got hairy arms, ain't no thang.
The watch looks great! Shame there's something wrong with it but yeah, lucky you got it from an ad.
-
Terrific watch Quiose. I hope you can just get a straight replacement from the dealer and get back to wearing the thing. Enjoy!
-
The dealer replaced it with a new watch, no questions asked. Great service. Can't see myself taking a risk on gray market or second hand in the near future after this.
It's a great looking watch. I've gotten so many compliments/comments of interest. Sort of embarassed about the attention since I thought it was a conservative choice compared to something like a Panerai (or anything really; only one co workers was familiar with the brand). A few of my co workers have rolexes and omegas, but I don't really recall seeing too many high end watches in my day-to-day. I guess it validates that this watch is a classic that anybody can enjoy.
-
Great outcome, love when something that could've been terrible works out great.
Don't own any watches, but see myself as a two watch kinda guy:
Grand Seiko SBGM021:
Rolex Datejust:
Can see myself getting the seiko first though..

@Broark doesn't it bother you that when you wear your watch on the right arm, the crown just doesn't feel right? gotta say that pam111 sandwich dial is a beauty. so is the grand lange.
-
@louisbosco It can be annoying, but being left handed I don't have many options! I could've gone with one of the left handed Panerais but they were sold out in SG at the time…
-
@Broark ahh. fair enough. you bought them in SG? are they cheaper for you? by any chance are you referring to the destro?
-
Ben, those grand seikos look gorgeous. I've not seen one in person, but all the pics make them look like a great choice.
I was considering the SBGJ001 for a while. The hi-beat movement really intrigues me, the dial looks amazing, and the polishing on the grand-seikos really looks top notch.
Ultimately I wanted to be able to try something on and have the dealer be close to me, so seiko was out. I don't think i've lost the lust, however, so maybe one day still…
-
Thanks quoise! Yeah honestly it seems like grand seikos would be up everyone's alley here, made I Japan and supposed to be an incredible deal for the finishing. Anyone that has one seems to think its at least as good as much more expensive brands - Rolex, etc.
Also love the design in the one I've posted, I even like the repetitive grand seiko… Reminds me of flat head!
That watch looks great too, ever thought of the snowflake?
There's a GS AD near me, I really need to go check it out and take some pics!
-
I have owned numerous Rolex and my Snowflake schools them in fit and finish. One of the finest watches I've had the pleasure of owning.
