Gavin and his Heuer inspired me to an evening change.

Were at Globen and visited Svante yesterday. Had a long look at the SBGJ003. Very tempted. One thing all these modern Grand Seiko: s have in common are that they are totally magical in real life but that does not come thru in pictures to the same extent.

Cool! The watch was bought there in august last year 😀 More people must try the Grand Seikos, fantastic watches and the amount of details in these pieces is mind blowing. Har du någon GS idag? 😀

I do have a vintage one and used to have a modern. As I wrote - I am very tempted again. They are great.

This just came, I am quite happy with it. Will try to find some way to clean the dial a bit. Any suggestions?

Looks good. I suggest not messing with it. Risk:reward ratio is too high. 😀

The 2nd timezone is not working but other functions are running fine. Will find time to service this later. Loving it now 😀

OK, the bad news first: there is no second time zone. The good news: if the crown at 9 o'clock turns the hands in the upper subdial, it's working!

I thought he might have been joking about the memento register.

Yes of course. I missed the smiley face. Good one! My problem is that I take things too literally.

Aha, so actually the 2nd time zone is for manual adjustment? Super dumb me, thanks for the enlightenment! Yep it turns manually properly so I guess i received the watch in very good order (it is indeed from Armenia, but hey this guy is a good seller)

It should be a second time zone. That would make sense for something called an Aero-Compax, maybe aimed at pilot types, and would actually be useful. Unfortunately, it's just a dummy dial to be used as a reminder, without so much as an alarm. But it looks good!

Hahaha, not joking as I honestly didn't know it was a memento dial. First vintage aero compax for me. Had another modern one though but a 24 hour it is.
