Stopped by the Grand Seiko showroom in Tokyo, such an underrated brand imo.

Not a high end watch by any means, but I love it. I've liked the metal squares Casio introduced years ago, but not enough to spend the money they were going for, especially the titanium ones ($750+). Just can't convince myself to spend a lot on a digital watch.

Anyway, I was browsing WUS a couple weeks ago and ran across a thread where someone did a titanium mod to their GW series watch from a kit bought from Aliexpress. I've had a G-Shock GW-M5610 for a couple years now, so my interest was peaked. I began looking into this more and found YouTube videos as well as quite a few Reddit threads with people doing it with similar kits from AE, so I went and found a kit for ~$100, and decided to take the chance buying something from China.

Well, it came in last week and it's awesome. Slightly heavier than the resin band/case, but not enough to really notice. They say it's titanium, but who knows. It's a lot lighter than steel, that's for sure. It used to be my weekend warrior, but I have a feeling it will work its way into my daily rotation. I still have the DW-6900 for the rough stuff.

I'd rather have a used day date for that price but i would need to see it in person i think because the pics of it look kind of middling as well.

For the engineers and watch nerds, this is probably the best overview of mechanical watches that I've seen:

Good lord. I bookmarked that so I can read it later but skimming it and wondering if there are Pulitzer's for blogs or informative articles like this?

Took me until the third viewing to realize the very first visual (of the watchface and inner movement) is set to the local date and time.

That's probably the best bang for your buck luxury diver there is. Amazing watch, my #1 recommendation to people who want the combo of pedigree, price, quality and looks.

Couldn't agree more. Starting to use it more as a daily now. Any nato straps suggestions?

Straight black nylon from crown and buckle, it's a great one.

The Seamaster is awesome on a nato, but I love mine on a good sail cloth strap as well.

Nice panda!

Any special meaning to the bracelets near the watch?

I feel like I've seen that before.

The maroon and white wax is one my son and I made back in 2015 in Mexico. It has been on my wrist ever since. The other has been on for 3 years. School colors for his highschool.
