Re: Grand Seiko diver thoughts
That's actually a good question, and I was mostly joking. It looks like the Omega design came out way before:bedlam wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 6:46 amIts similar to the modern Speedie bracelet but closer to the bracelet on the MM300, I would have thought.

Yup. The MM300 came out around 2001.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2017 7:47 amThat's actually a good question, and I was mostly joking.

Agreed but I’ll take mine on a SBGX115. Good size, GS quality, great movement and mid 2s used.Bradystraps wrote:LOVE the hands.

I do miss the SBGA029 a lot but can’t afford to get it back now and don’t want to flip what I have.
The watch fit great for the size. Much better than the SBGE001 which wore a little top heavy. No need to consider the Ti version IMHO.

The Spring Drive version is one I've lusted for. Someday...
A high-beat Grand Seiko diver? Oh my, oh my. If it was 42mm it would be a real "killer app."

It's a looker for sure but discontinued and rarely up for sale. The search is more than half the fun though, at least for meChronos wrote:Thank you Terry.

Re: Grand Seiko diver thoughts
The indices seem for me to small for that dial making it look strange.
