I have heard of similar when people walk in for a new audi quattro and once they see price tag they walk out with used jeep.

funny

He didn’t say which Omega he was looking at but decent odds the GS is more money so this doesn’t even make sense

Grand Seiko is crushing it these days! Can’t go wrong with it. Give us an photo when you get it.

Will do. Probably going to marinate on it while I travel for business this week and drop the hammer this coming weekend.

Good for you. Great choice.
I fell in love with GS by going to an AD and looking at them side by side with other watches. Side by side they really stand out.

Grand Seiko is a fantastic choice. I am a bit of a fan although I don't own one. I've put several on the wrist that friends own.

IMHO, give them another decade and they'll be giving a poke to VC, AP and PP.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
