Tell you about it.., how long have you got?! I can’t replicate all the Google, but it’s just as lovely as a Grand Seiko, with less bling. It has all the zaratsu you can want, but the case is hardened Ti, so a little less shiny, and less prone to scratches. It’s accurate. I got mine in October, set it to Winter Time, and on the change to BST, it was 2 seconds out. Date is correct for the next 80 years. Mine’s on a cheap plastic sailcloth strap, so it gets scrubbed once a fortnight with a toothbrush under a tap. It’s as light as a feather, so you never think about it, unless you nerd on the internet. It’s made all my other watches redundant, and you can wear it anywhere, in any company, and it won’t stand out. It looks like a cheapish, solar powered quartz.
No-one wants crown guards on a dress watch. Well they can feck off. If Rolex got their shit together, and made a modern 1016, it would be exactly like this.

This is tragic.. you’ve just got a really nice watch, but now it’s over? Try it on a different, lower key strap. I’ll get that you may have got over the itch, but why is it too shiny? Is it too obvious? Too “Grand” Seiko? I looked at the model for a few years, but when the branding changed, the watch changed. Now it’s an identifiable posh watch.
If you want a HAQ, but under the radar, less bling, think about a Citizen Chronomaster. They don’t make many watches you want to buy, but I ended up with an AQ4020-03, and never want to take it off. Will try to link a pic.
