I have a Grand Seiko night birch, which is a high beat with their dual impulse escapement. I had to bring it in for service under warranty in 2023 because it was running 20 seconds fast per day. Seiko fixed it but now it’s creeping up again and running more than 10 seconds fast per day. (It’s supposed to be -3 to +5). Also, the manual winding now requires hundreds of winds. It’s under warranty still so I brought it back to the local AD to be sent to Seiko (and probably to Japan for this movement).

I have other Grand Seikos which have been very reliable (both high beat and spring drive).

I am curious if others have had issues with GS watches - either with the original watch or their service?

(The watch is beautiful)

I'm an avowed second generation Overseas guy (own two) but my friend just picked up a new ultra thin perpetual and JFC this thing is sexual.

Not worth the 130k Vacheron is asking but these dive down into the 80s the second you wear it out of the store.

Hey guys

I already bought it

Just so you know

But I don’t mind getting beat up

Or praise if it’s appropriate

Anyhow, I do like Panerai but not always

Recently bought one so I am thinking about something else, however

The dealer in Palm Beach on North Avenue cool Spot. I’m friendly with the woman there.

Jessica

She’s great FYI

She obviously wants to sell watches, but she sent me a text that somebody passed away so the Panerai that he left in description was available?!

$8800

Throwing in a deployant clasp

And some bands

Homage to the 1993 version only made 1500 total not making it again since 1993 in 1993. They only made 200.

500 made only in the US

Online selling for more

Because you can’t get it

I’m getting mine with the original clasp band, obviously

And a black leather croc strap with the same material deploy

I’m gonna rock it

And thank you

Hi,

Black PVD / DLC stainless steel watches - cases and or bracelets - GIMMICK or VALUABLE ???

Does the coating hold up to daily use?

Any truth to the hearsay that Rolex will not service a watch with a Black PVD/DLC coating?

Black cases with non-metal straps seem more common...

Anything else to consider?

Any other watch suggestions?

For example:

Rolex Milgauss Black PVD/DLC Stainless Steel Watch 116400GV

Cartier Santos Carbon Black WSSA0039

Tag Heuer Monaco CAW2190.FC6437

Thanks for your assistance,
