I'm trying to decide if I should go the ez route and just trade it straight up with a mistflake at my local AD. Or sell it alone and then buy a mistflake from a Japanese dealer for ~$2k less but have to deal with overseas shipping and US customs. Is the market not terrible to sell right now?

I'll only lose like $1k overall and if I can save $2k on the japanese transaction, it'll easily even out. I just don't know if I want to deal with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my 1G STO and will probably get back to wearing it some after this post now that summer is here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VandalPride97 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I used to have a pretty solid collection, then I got the apple watch and now the rest just don't have enough info on their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in turn has had me wearing my other blue dial divers as well since the weather turned warm. Very few watch dials are as (let alone more) mesmerizing as a well-executed blue dial on a dive watch, and IMO a blue dial diver is a staple in any collection of five watches or more. There are so many examples to suit any budget, from the DSSD on down to inexpensive micro brands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually heading to Hyde Park today finally to try on some more GSs. Not a diver, but maybe I'll decide on the Lake Suwa? Heh, probably not, like you said if my collection gets to 5+ then I'll look for the bright blue dial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Well Hyde Park just got Zenith! Got to try on a few watches and I think I've narrowed it down between th white birch and the chronometer sport. The titanium GMT just didn't do it for me. Didn't love the titanium feel and I think it was just too chunky for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little weary though because I've heard rumblings about GS hi-beat movement quality. However, I'm selling the 911 soon and it looks like I may get more than I originally thought. If that's the case (and I can convince my gf...), I might get both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
