In various threads we’ve discussed how tiny and easy-to-lose the GS bracelet screws are. For something that actually needs to be manipulated now and again they are indeed quite small.

But if you think GS bracelet screws are small, you’ve never had to install or remove rate adjusting screws from an early 1970’s Bulova Accuquartz. Those things are so small that you really have to wonder what infernal device they used to machine them.

For those of you who may not have seen one before, here’s…

If you think GS bracelet screws are small…

Finally got this one out a couple days ago to see how it’s running. Has been pretty accurate overall. Nice grab n go piece.

I’m such a moron… I noticed that my bracelet clasp was really off center on the back of my wrist… so, I decide to move a link from one side to the other. And, somehow- one of the braclet screws gets sucked up in the ether along with the other sock, the other cuff-link, etc. etc.

I then spent the last two hours trying to find the screw… finally, I gave up.

If anybody has one knocking around I’ll shoot you some $. Or, I can send some money the charity of your choice. I know I can…

Disregard- I ordered my replacement screw from Seiko- Watch Darwin edition…

I’m trying to buy my first GS and I need a GMT to fill the role of an overseas travel/vacation watch. I’ve settled on GS because I feel they are somewhat stealthy and GS is one of the brands I don’t yet have in my collection. The only issue has been there are so many models it’s hard to keep track of what’s what.

My list of wants:
-Spring drive
-Lume
-Water resistant/durable
-Stainless steel

As of now, it seems like the SBGE253 is the best choice, with the only downsides being lume at…

Which GS GMT would you pick?

Anyone else have an issue with the beads of rice bracelet not fitting that well? It feels super comfortable, but is just a tad too small or big on my 7 inch writs. I reached out to GS and they don’t make quarter or half links for this one, so I am kind of at a crossing and don’t know what to do.

I really don’t want to wear the watch on a strap and think the bracelet really makes me love it. At what point do I call it and trade the watch for something different? or do I just wear it a…

Beads of rice bracelet

I bought this 9F diver a few years ago and I recently replaced the battery. I’ve stepped away from watch purchasing for a while but I still love rotating through my watches. I hadn’t picked this one up since before the spring time change but started wearing it again yesterday. I forgot how really special this watch is. It was running within 1 second of atomic time after 6 months. With a watch like this it is tough to add additional divers.
