Watches - another OCD problem

[ddtrash]

The new London Seiko / Grand Seiko store opened on Bond St today.

A very low key event compared to how other brands would celebrate a new boutique opening. Looking forward to checking the new store out when I am next down there.

When GS opened the Paris shop, they had 2 special edition models in precious metal, exclusive to the shop. For the London one, they have one, steel cased, and quite reminiscent (undistinguishable really) of the limited edition model I posted a few weeks ago…

Looks like I've secured a SBGY027. It should ship to me in a few days.

That is a lovely thing, I am truly envious! That being said, I’m relieved I wont be getting one as I would spend all my time admiring that dial.

One of my favorites they’ve done. Great score!

Agree, a beautiful dial. @JDelage very pleased you managed to snag one. I must check out that London boutique store version next chance I get.  I suspect with only 50 available they will be gone soon.

@JDelage that's a very pretty dial. I'm glad to hear that you managed to snag one.

@ddtrash you've exceeded your quota for nice watches, and you have to leave some for the rest of us!

Nice looking Nomos Tangente.

The Tangente is such a timeless classic! I got mine as a present from my parents for passing my law exam almost 20 years ago.
I only stopped wearing it in favor of the Ahoi from Nomos.

Same with me. Got me Tangente roughly 6 years ago and stopped wearing it as soon as I got my Omega Seamaster. Though it is classy in looks, I was not so satisfied with its accuracy.

I’ve had mine for ~12 years and never had an issue. I’m not super OCD about timing though as long as it isnt an obvious issue.

Drift of about 5 to 10 minutes a week is something that I could not digest with my Tangente.

You want accurate, look at your phone 

[mclaincausey]

Agreed, but given that mechanical watches are already somewhat of an affectation since they're obsolete, I also understand placing a premium on accuracy. It's pretty cool when they can dial it in on a mechanical watch. I even appreciate Spring Drive and super accurate quartz–it doesn't have to be practical to matter.

I do miss wearing a mechanical watch, but not enough to ditch my smart watch.

[JDelage]

And it's here. It is lovely…

@JDelage Extremely beautiful!!!

[Graeme]

@JDelage that's a pretty watch.

[ddtrash]

@JDelage What a stunning watch, love the dial texture, very unique.
