  • @siddhant46s54

    I totally agree that with some watches the specs looks so outlandish and large on paper you thinks its a complete no go for you( also the conditioning of the recent years of watches of smaller sizes becoming more prominent contributes to this) but in real life it fits just perfectly! I experienced this myself recently. I never liked seiko divers because I thought they were huge usually (42-45mm) and I hadn’t tried them on in real life. All this completely changed when a new Seiko exclusive boutique opened in a mall near my home and i walked in to see what’s up and try on a few Seiko divers for once and man was i blown away, I don’t know what magic Seiko performs in their designs language but pretty much every dive watch from the largest seiko sumo or the SLA073 to the SPB143 all fit beautifully in my wrist with no lugs overhang at all . And now i find myself down the rabbit hole of Seiko dive watches and in love with Seiko for the past 2 weeks 😂

  • @WNYfellow
    @WNYfellow Před 8 měsíci +2

    We can only assume .... that your wife is the source of this gift ;-). Actually, you touched upon a very common phenomenon: people hesitate to buy things (or receive them) because .... well, because receiving them stirs up difficult emotions. You may be familiar with the Martin Sheen movie 'Da.' The Sheen character has become a big wheel in New York theater; during his career, he has regularly sent packages of expensive cigars back to Ireland for his 'da' to enjoy. After his father's death, he finds them in a bureau drawer - unopened. At least the giver of your Grand Seiko knows that you got it, you opened it, you are enjoying it and you appreciate it. That's a win, for both giver and receiver.

    That is an absolute stunner of a watch!! I like the way you approached the gift, and I reckon you've definitely done the right thing by accepting it as an expression of love. You're honouring the giver, as well as the gift.
    Good to see your mug too! I hate when the face doesn't fit the voice when a YTer does a "face reveal", but you'll be relieved to know that yours match 🤣
    Awesome vid as always, love your approach!

    Hi Pete. The introduction to the video made me smile. It's always nice to put a face to a voice, sometimes not. It’s a beautiful gift that you give to your loyal audience. I feel honored somewhere. It's a very beautiful watch, one of my dream watches but I would never sell a kidney or my soul to afford this gem. Happy man, work pays off. That's what my father taught me. Happy end of year to you and look forward to next year.🥂🇨🇵👋

    Never say never! The watch is beautiful, so enjoy it! I relatively new to to watch hobby, but I have learned, for me only two thing are relevant. The lug-to-lug distance and the style of the watch. And I think the face-to face videos adds a little bit more to the honesty.

    Thank you for sharing why a gift is special. Please take good care of it. I was gifted a Rolex, my first and only, and it too was a gift of love during a rocky time when I didn’t think we could afford it. It was on my wrist every day for 10+ years until it was stolen in a gym locker right around the holidays when theft most rampant. Luckily I’m still going strong with my gifter, and she has given me a lot more than watches, but not having this gift to give to our sons does leave a void in my memory bank.
