The watch I wore to my wedding, the Grand Seiko SBGW231, needs some more wrist time. To dress it down to the Google quarantine uniform (t-shirt, shorts, mocs), I ordered some suede straps. Vote for which one I should start with in the comments.

A1, I bet my Rolex is much more accurate. And having crappy finishings is sort of Rolexs thing. They’re still excellent movements.

That said, this gs is still a beautiful watch and I like the strap too. No hate.

I see everyone screaming “buy the dip”. If you are going to I advise the strategy I learned when I started out 10/20/30, 1/2/3.

This assumes you did your OWN research and analysis on the stocks you purchased. Junk is junk no matter what price you bought it.

Got a phone call 5 minutes later from the rep, who said I could have a Date/Cyclops sub that was hidden in the back, since I obviously wasn’t trying to re-sell. Passed on it. Been passionate about this model for a minute. Happy hunting :)
