Yes I understand, I wasn't trying to be critical of your achievements, just wondering if you had factored that into your decisions. Hopefully, you will be one of the lucky ones that will have no problems later on. Cheers.

I didn't take it as critical and I can definitely see your point, you're not the first one to say that to me nor will you be the last.

I just want to enjoy life as much as possible, this running stuff gives me enjoyment and is also my way to deal with stress.

That's the best mentality

Watch fair was packed 25 min > opening. Great fun. Tried a couple watch challenges - end result... neurosurgeon & watch repair are not valid second careers.

Felt like an esteemed guess as I was greeted by name by many of the employees; got 2 hugs & 4 handshakes. Great personal customer service - family run AD.

Felt honored to be the 1st to be shown some trade-in watches. Slightly kicking myself this a.m. since I passed on a pristine 5 digit Pepsi Sub
Oh well, daughter still has intact college fund!

Thanks everyone for your “cheers” on my new GS Snowflake!
I am blown away by everything about this watch - from the
Spring Drive movement inside to the aesthetics on the outside- the workmanship is outstanding.
Grand Seiko even alloys there own special titanium metal in house , much like Rolex produces its own special steel and gold !
I encourage everyone to read up on Grand Seiko manufacturing- some crazy amazing stuff going on there !
Cheers everyone

I recently watched a video that someone posted. Amazing. Love the knife blade like hands.
Saw recently the green dial one in person and it's truly mesmerizing.
