Nice collection and review. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos and well written. Thanks for sharing it. I especially love the Seiko Marine Master, the Grand Seiko (on my wish list) and the Omega AT (those blue markers and hands are truly something). Stunning pieces.

I actually bought the Glycine (that very watch, I mean) a total of three times, Eric. I sometimes think I'm going nuts

I like the GS and (unusually for me) the Omega. Could you please kindly tell me where you got the GS? Having been a one-watch person for 9 years, in May I bought the lovely IWC Mark XVI, then in July the even lovelier PP. I thought I'd be happy, but now I find myself wanting another (virtually unfindable, let alone affordable) PP, and possibly a vintage Rolex. Oh and a Pepsi GMT and a Daytona. But that will probably be it. Apart from a JLC, of course!

Current grail below. Yes, I know it's virtually the same as the one I have, but the innards are not. And that dial......

Hello

I got the GS from someone on TZ-UK... in fact I got pipped at the post for another (more recent) one this evening, which was very annoying.

Cool story, thanks for sharing.

It's not hard at all to get carried away with this thing. Its' seems like it happens to soo many of us in such a short period of time. Its either got something to do with the water or this forum. I think it just might be this forum.
