Continue readingBloody hell, no! It's not an homage. It's objectively and subjectively better than the Explorer 2, IMO. Coincidentally, this SbGE305 is my first GS after the Seiko/GS branding changes in 2017. It's supposed to arrive by 7 September. But …

The genta one is even charging the shipping cost. These onkus veblen goods are out of my imagination. I don't know what …
Well, it's a silly GMT dilemma. I have owned SBGE015 and SBGJ001, and sold both.
