Why We Love Grand Seiko: Timeless Luxury Watches Explains
Sponsored PostWhy Grand Seiko? That's probably the most common question we hear at Timeless. Grand Seiko is probably the single most disruptive brand in the entire luxury watch industry, and it seems like every watch collector has a strong opinion on the topic. We have an opinion on it too: we are obsessed with GS. In fact, we are so fascinated with the brand that we've written well over 20 articles about them, not including this one.

Any and all options for changing a gold (YG or RG) 39mm Chrono RO's band to strap?
Howdy all, I am in the market for a 39 mm rose or yellow gold RO chrono with a bracelet. I want the option to change from bracelet to strap. From reading a post or two I understand you need the end links and screws with caps for an aftermarket strap.... however, where do I get solid gold end links to connect from the case to the strap? Also, I need a clasp or deployment. I saw there is a conversion kit via the ap bands website for yellow gold models, but its 500 bucks and gold plated... not solid. Im not really interested in gold plated.Anybody have additional suggestions for aftermarket options for the links and clasp? Or anybody have an OEM version they are looking to sell? THANKS A MIL

Old Daytona for new Hulk ?
I just got my new SS Daytona with white dial last week . Love it . Makes me wonder how much wear my older Daytona will get now . Been eyeing the Hulk . Normally wouldn't even entertain the idea of flipping a Daytona for a sub but since I have the new one I'm tempted . I already have the new sub and love it also . Sure could use opinions as to what you would all do . Keep and have 2 White dial Daytona's or let old one go for the Hulk ? Thanks ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
