Independents in Tokyo?
Any good stores in Tokyo carry independents? I think GF has their new boutique in Tokyo, anyone else?

Good shout. Was there with Ben Clymer the other day as well, promoting the porsche chronograph hodinkee edition.

Nice, thanks guys. Definitely excited to get out the newer S series from Greubel again. I keep coming close to picking one up then hesitating :)

The new smaller S series watches are really nice, I didn't think the larger one's were too big but the smaller ones do fit just that little bit better and I like the additional exposed gears. |

I posted about the new S series before on here and WPS, and consensus is that they are not great value for the money as the finishing is a step down, which I agree with. I got to play with some of the S series when I was in Mexico City of all places. I was walking around, saw a watch store...walked in and they happen to carry a ton of independents like MB&F, GF, etc! The S series wear really well and the curved crystals are super cool in-person. Even if they're still a little overpriced when they hit secondary, I think I might still do it. |
