Over here we just call it shitjob.

that's why I left - RE is much better ... more time to waste on forums. can't say corporate law is much better but not sure if that's what you do

I’ll post better pictures tomorrow when I get this sized and I’m out in the wild. For now, this should suffice. This is my first Grand Seiko, and I’m impressed. Keep in mind, however, that I’m a Richemont dumb **** peasant that likes phony ****. Notwithstanding my socio-economic shortcomings (dammit, dad, why weren’t you a doctor), I love this. Finishing is superb. Overall, the watch is just a frenzy of aesthetic accomplishment. Won’t be my last GS, that’s for sure.

We're supposed to have respect for each other?

I respect you, boo boo.

I do still. Got myself the VC Traditionnelle. I have a weak spot for small seconds, so I really like this Calatrava.

Edit: now I don't know which one I like more. Oh well, can't have everything. They look alike, but also very different.

Calatrava or no, this one is really hot.

Calatrava or no, this one is really hot.

It’s about as clean and as good as a dress watch gets. I tried getting one a few weeks ago and couldn’t. Will do soon.

Oh I decided on a wg Calatrava too ?

Oh, trust me, I already spoke to my girl Tiffany. Shouldn’t be long now.

I love that watch. It is so big that I can easily tell from a distance that the wearer is poor, and avoid him/her.

But really, it’s one of my favorite IWCs in a while and I think it’s a great addition. I tried it on and liked it a lot.

They make something very similar (with a date window) in a 36mm if you’re into stealth poor.

I’m still leaning toward Lange 1 for next (big for me) purchase. Patek 5196p would be my other option at this point (I know they’re completely different animals), but not feeling up to all the anxiety of properly vetting and hunting down the watch...

Having done only cursory searches, how hard is it it find these in really good shape?

Not hard at all.

Oh man this one and the spring drive version with different case are my favorites right now. Hmm Lake Suwa is nice too..

 

[9thsymph]

Sir, are you referring to the watch search, or your iron casings, which should be soft after all...
