well i have they are all very beautiful watches but that citizen in the pics steals the show...wow.. New arrival - this 90+% 1964 GS 43999 In person, it's indescribably beautiful. Pictures do it no justice - the Snowflake is great with the light, but nothing like this guy. I can't stop looking at it. Insane. With the fat lugs and the 32.6mm dial, it feels totally modern in size despite measuring just 36.4mm across. For comparison, the dial+chapter ring on the 7549-7010 is ~29.7mm. Only downside is that I bought this beautiful brown Grand Seiko strap to go on it, and despite my research concluding that the lug spacing is 18mm, it's actually 19mm. Sigh. Here it is alongside another new arrival, and the 7549 I started the day with:

New arrival - this 90+% 1964 GS 43999 Killer, I've been trying to find a good one of these for a while now. I got a 5722 to scratch the itch, but it's not quite enough.

Killer, I've been trying to find a good one of these for a while now. I got a 5722 to scratch the itch, but it's not quite enough. Thanks. I'm excited about it. Good luck with your hunt - I'll keep you in mind if I see another nice opportunity. It the meantime a 5722 is no ugly sister - congrats on it.
