Bummer to hear. Was hoping to make this one. Hoping he recovers quickly

I'm told it's nothing too serious, so perhaps we'll be able to resume the event next year.

Unfortunately, due to health concerns, G-Shock founder and industry legend Kikuo Ibe won't be able to travel to the US. Sadly, this means that we've had to cancel our highly-anticipated event, but Mr. Ibe's health is of paramount importance and we wish him a speedy recovery. We apologize for any inc...

Thanks for the kind words guys, glad you like them.

If you’re a Grand Seiko fan, you already know how hard it is to photograph GS dials, ...

I’d certainly group case finishing into areas they excel. Few brands in their price range come close.

That's a good point. A lot of strengths in the GS portfolio.

They sell so many watches in the DJ style and they’re all too thick. Only the quartz are under 13mm. Are these ones all 13.5mm? That’s as thick as a Rolex sub. Too thick for what they are. I imagine thick exhibition back doesn't help. Kinda the same problem with Omega thickness Yeah but the movemen...

I'm ok with their thickness, but I would love to see them make thinner watches down the road, at least as an option. It's not like they can't do it, they could just pop 9S64s into everything, but for whatever reason they don't want to.

yeah, dials and movements are the two areas they are really on top of!

New GS Limited Editions! https://timelessluxwatches.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/New-GSes-Main-1.jpg We just saw three new Grand Seiko limited editions in Las Vegas! These are being called “Kimono” dials. The prices are just estimates for the moment, so keep in mind these may change as they get c...

"defacto" Lange 1 for me-- that blue dial is hot... I think I'd have a hard time choosing that over Eric's GO. Bought used, it's probably 70% of the watch at 15% of the cost. The Panomatics are gorgeous. One of their big advantages over the Lange, at least for me, is that they're also available in ...

This is a good review. ALS is the only richemont brand I would consider buying a modern watch from. Most are too large for me though. You should really list thickness for all the watches and take a side view profile picture of each. That’s where ALS tends not to work for me. What's your ideal thick...

58 on bracelet for me, absolutely love it. I would change the crown (as mentioned) to just screw all the way, but its not an issue for me. That size, from brand with a lot of history and with an inhouse movement with a great power reserve... it's a steal. I bet they do a blue dial in the next year ...

Faux rivets kill these for me.

That's why I'd get it on the fabric strap. More affordable as well.

We do sometimes but we haven't tried at a third party location before. I think we could get it set up if there was enough interest.

That seems to be true, and the '58, not coincidentally, is named after the year of the first Big Crown model, so perhaps that's intentional.

I like quirky watches lol, like the pushers on the SBGC001/201.

My buddy John and I are attending the local Rolex / Tudor preview on Wednesday, so I’ll check this sucker out. I really don’t understand the crown design, other than that they wanted to be different. The “guts” of the crown are basically like the other Rolex stuff. It comes from the historic 7924 "...

Took me half the article to figure out what you were talking about when you said S&G, then I realized you meant steel and gold. Never seen it abbreviated that way; usually it's TT. The GMT and 58 are very nice. But the BB crowns still kill me. Notwithstanding the potential corrosion issues, they ne...

I clearly don’t dress well enough to be a watch guy in Texas. It appears the BB58 still has the goofy crown sleeve thingy, but it’s silver in color as on the Ranger - can you confirm? Yes, it still has a small amount of exposed crown tube, and in this case it appears to be polished steel. Both the ...

It is, it's just a Photoshop blunder.

Photoshopped???? Noooooooo!!!!

Lol yeah, annoyingly at this stage in development we rely on renders. We'll get photos of the prototypes as soon as possible, of course.
