sweet new JDM citizen diver GMT

Post by dinexus » Wed Jul 31, 2019 11:48 am

In the quest to find the perfect globetrotting GMT-enabled dive watch (spoiler alert: it still doesn't exist), I stumbled across this neat little gem last night:

Think it's pretty new? Comes in a few dial options, seems to be Japan-only, far as I can tell. Might add one to the collection anyway.

I like it, except the rehaut 24 hour scale is a bit overpowering. They could've done away with the minute markers on the rehaut as they are already on the fully indexed bezel.

As for the traveling GMT question, yes, according to Seiya's video, the hour hand is independently adjustable.

Eco-Drive, titanium, 43mm, traveler GMT function, sapphire, 200 Meter WR, under $500. Now, if they could make it just a bit better looking.

I had some hands on time with this when in Japan. While it’s light and all, the movement “feel” killed it for me. It was like in free gear most of the time when setting the watch. I would recommend handling one first if you can.

Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough.

Well said!

Nobody’s ever accused me of backing down from the old college dildo try...

I don’t understand the dildo reference, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know.

That looks really nice Zach ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..Seems easy to read, but then
has a lot of cool, and eye-cacthing elements that separate it from the
crowd too. ..Love just the blue, but the entire watch rocks actually ! 8-)

Thanks so much for the news, and look !!!

I think it's more a blanket reference that "anything is possible" just as long as you're dumb enough to try :shrug:

Nothing more refreshing than explaining a dildo joke.

The black version (BJ7110-89E) looks pretty good, and 43mm in titanium isn't that huge.

Being titanium makes it smaller? :think:

No, but it makes it lighter. And, yes, I see the grammatical error that leads to your comment.

No worries, it’s that old “can’t hear tone or see expressions in text” thing combined with being about a quart low on coffee this morning.
