Dang you Rod and Bullit......dang you for posting those pics!!! And dang me for parting with that beauty. I'm feeling really bad for myself now. Can I get a pity yeeaahh?

Oh, and yes Geoff, we must discuss GS's in numbers. I saw that Citizen M registered but haven't seen him post yet. Him and Domo are the masters of the GS lineup!

Oh Citizen M....come out and play! (think The Warriors if anyone remembers that horrible movie).

Um Walter, who pretty much begged you NOT to SELL your GS???? Who? Huh???

I can understand missing the SBGR083, it is a great watch... but... for that PML, well now, that's as close to worth it as it'll likely ever get.

If you ever get nostalgic for the '83 just let me know, I'd bite the bullet and swap mine for the PML for a time. I'm just that charitable.

So generous of you! Yes it is!

Yep, you did at that. Shoulda listened more closely but the PML's siren song was just so strong!

Thank you kind sir...perhaps we'll swap for a day or two. You send yours first!

Be careful what you say, I'm liable to do it...

Although, I'd feel much more comfortable letting you wear the '83 than me wearing the PML. It's that weird?

A couple of years back, I stumbled across some pre-publicity for the release of the SBGE021 Limited Edition. I was stunned by the beauty of this watch. I quickly dove in and did my research on Grand Seiko. At the time, there wasn't a lot out there -- but, what I was able to find convinced me that Grand Seiko was a force to be reckoned with. And, so, I took the plunge. Man, am I ever glad I did. Not only is this one an incredibly beautiful timepiece -- but the GMT functionality, in my view, is unsurpassed. Add to that the incredible accuracy of the Spring Drive. Bliss!








Then, came the Snowflake. I had been looking for a watch that I could use for dress purposes that was simple, straightforward -- but, that would nevertheless have its own special character. The Snowflake was it! To this day, I love the story behind this watch -- the winds carving patterns in the snow. I treasure this one...

Is it scary having two Spring Drives to keep alive and ticking and accurate?

Or do you just let them run down like a mechanical?

Just like a mechanical in every way, you can easily restart it by manually winding it or the usual shake method.
