A couple I got for my brother for Christmas
Love that G-Shock!
What watch do you wear?

I got it from a TZ member who imported it from here https://ocarat.com/montre-polycarbon-2d-sketch-01-pcbj33-d1-milano-102141.html
I think it is just the design that makes it look off. Hence the name sketch.

My cousins banded together to get me a few gifts for my bday, one of which was a watch box, which I had not told anyone about that I know and was actually looking at this exact box but just in black for a few months lol.

Met a young lad buying my coat yesterday who had a stunning watch on. I asked if it was an Alpinist and he said no, it's a self built explorer i clone made out of Seiko bits. Got his number and have put my order in for a Polar Seiko Explorer

Yeah there’s this Seiko modder in one of my vape groups, quite a few people have brought Frankenstein watches from him… nothing to my taste but I’m templed to as for a milspec submariner from him. Considering most of them Have had multiple parts changes by now or in such bad shape.Met a young lad buying my coat yesterday who had a stunning watch on.

Anyone else not impressed with the durability of Titanium watches.
Bought myself a Grand Seiko SBGA349 in 2018 for my 50th , only really used it as an office watch , probably the hardest knock its ever had was against my coffee cup . But it looks like i have been potholing with it for the last 5 years
Was expecting super lightweight (which it is , in fact the bracelet feels cheap as hell its that light) , but also super tough and the Jap Zaratsu polishing to last forever or have i got the Katsu curry polish on mine.
The sapphire glass doesnt have a mark on it.

My Tudor Pelagos 42mm is like a tank, a few years old and shows very little wear, so I assume the Titanium of your Seiko is of a lower grade, which would be expected given the price difference. More info on grades here https://www.ablogtowatch.com/titanium-watch-guide/

My cheap Ti Hamtun watch from Kickstarter doesn't look too bad considering it's been on my wrist for about 3 years or so and I haven't looked after it at all, it's been bashed into railings, doorframes and all sorts.
Did the Grand Seiko have any sort of hardening treatment?

The Pelagos uses Grade 2, can't find specs for the specific model, but Grand Seiko generally use Grade 5, which is much harder.
My dealer was wearing a Pelagos and advised me not to get too upset when I get my first scratch....
