Bloody 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 …

These are the highest-priced watches from Yahoo Auction Japan. The first one is a Nobunaga Daytona. It has a peculiar history.
The genta one is even charging the shipping cost. These onkus veblen goods are out of my imagination. I don't know what …
GMT dilemma
Well, it's a silly GMT dilemma. I have owned SBGE015 and SBGJ001, and sold both.
SBGE015- amazing timepiece, but no lume on the bezel was an eventual dealbreaker.
SBGJ001- the original Mt Iwate, I loved this watch most, but with my ageing eyes, I …
GS is struggling!
TL/DR:

Continue readingMy 45th Bday is coming soon, so I thought I’d do some window shopping. The star of the trip is definitely the SLGB003. It’s a marvelous beaut in all respects. The boutique is taking a 50% deposit now and will deliver the watch by June 1.

So I reckon my next watch will be a diving/diver chrono!
Continue readingI have these two in mind! The Doxa is cheaper new from an AD. The Omega is about $500–$600 more used.
They are both around 42 mm in diameter. The Doxa is a little shorter L2L at 45 mm compared to the Omega’s 49.5 mm L2L.
The Doxa is a bit thicker at 15.85 mm compared to the Omega’s 15.1 mm.
I wonder which one will be a keeper. Please share your views, comments, and experiences. A poll to see which gets the most votes, as today is…
