Travel companions and the Go To vs some middleweights
Just thought I would share a snapshot of the 4 travel companions I brought with me on this week’s business trip.
Any guesses as to which one has seen the most wrist time? . . . . . . . . . . . . Two to one....it’s been the SBGW235. As you can tell from this small subset of my collection, I enjoy watches and I invest in pieces of good quality. But my appreciation of specific pieces does not scale up or down with price. So a nice Habring2 could outcompete the 3940, or the titanium g-shock might win against a 1815 Up/Down sometimes. But GS really hit a “grand slam” with this diminutive little hand-winder on a BOR bracelet. It’s timeless. If it was a Calatrava, it would be $40k. |

I would get a heart attack leaving the Pateks and the Lange at my hotel.

I only travel with one, when I'm going to be in a hotel. I'm a paranoid soul. I traveled with two in the past, but was more mental bandwidth than it was worth. |

Wow, four beauties, and the dial on the GS is sublime; the only bracelet in the lot.

I would love to see Seiko expand their dial offerings in this case with the manual wind movement. It’s definitely a line that is at the top of my list.
