    Dangit!

    I went to my watchmaker to pick up my Hamilton conservation chronograph after being serviced, and ended up leaving with these too.

    So yeah, I ended up buying another “deep blue“ style psycho, errr... Seiko diver, to replace the one I traded.

    and this is the Hamilton in question, it was just serviced and then regulated to about +1

    The dial texture of these is phenomenal.
    I wonder if it's ever appeared before on any other watch.

    The power reserve indicator treatment reminds me of a snow angel.

    Perhaps a variant with tiny snowshoe tracks and snow angels is called for. No yellow spots though.

    Would you believe there’s a photo of a bracelet for the SBGK on the new dials they are releasing? I’m currently in the process of looking for a bracelet as we speak.

    Ive actually been recently fascinated by the Seiko day wheels. Specifically for turtles.

    I’ve seen (and have) the following languages together with English used in the turtle day wheel:

    1. Spanish - most common in our part of Asia
    2. Latin (Roman Numerals)
    3. Japanese (Kanji) - on JDMs
    4. Chinese
    5. French
    6. Arabic

    Now ive seen a German. Have to have one. Hehe.

    I have an Italian, but in a vintage pogue. Not a turtle.

    Curious to see a Thai since Seiko is big in Thailand. But the Thai LEs i have use Roman numerals. Was curious about German also since Seiko is big in Germany as well. But now my curiosity is half-satisfied.
