Just needing an opinion

I am just and enthusiasts of watches but my problem is I am a visual person . I currently own a GS sbgk015 which I love and looking to maybe trade it for a Glashutte 60’s black dial solid rose gold mint time only and complete. I know what answer I’m going to receive , but I’m hoping that I can get some real feedback on their opinion on which watch .

I'm guessing you are expecting to hear "its a personal choice." But if you want others' opinions, as a visual person, you should probably include pictures.

Black and rose-gold is a combination that is hard to beat in my book..........my search these days is for a '51 Museum Edition, so I guess you have my answer.
My advice, however, is to physically handle your options and your heart will pick it for you. (but still vetting here, of course)

Find me one of these!

The OP has shared a photo of their GS once before.

I curiously googled what the OP said for the other watch and found this in both date and no date.

Do it all. Keep the GS. That is a beautiful watch. If I had it, it would be a forever watch for me. Save up for the Glashutte and eat your cake too.

Easy to spend OPM (other people's money).

That is a stunning piece that I knew nothing about. A whole new rabbit hole for me this afternoon.

12 years of OF education has upped my game!

Actually, 1 year of education that I keep forgetting and re-learning over and over.
Thank goodness for a cadre of friends like you, Jim, to help out a brother in need!

Tommy still sits in his box, NOS, awaiting offers......

Would you ask for opinions on which colour trainers to wear, or what your favourite band is? Whether you should have sausages and mash or beans on toast for tea?
It's not like your're asking for help comparing the specifications of these watches, or nutritiuonal benefits of the meals. You're asking for people to tell you what their personal preferences are.

My personal preference should have no influence on your personal preference. I don't get how telling you which one of these watches I dislike least would help.

I think you should wear what you like and to hell with the opinions of anyone and everyone else.




Of course that is just my personal opinion.

Normally I’d be in the buy the GO camp, and if it were a PanoMaticLunar or similar it would be a firm favourite but that Grand Seiko is one of the nicest dials they make and although im not a GS fan at all, I’d keep it

OP, your Grand Seiko is an absolute stunner. That blue absolutely slays. Congratulations on a fantastic piece.

It Looks great on that strap. What finish is on the ray skin? I am a fan of pairing a dress watch with a stingray strap, I find it to be a pleading combination, and it is how I wear my Connie most of the time.
