SBGH343 - Perfect size

Found this piece to be very lovely. Amazing wearing experience due to balanced size. Dial is quite dynamic and shows dull and bright patches depending on lighting. Nice dial colour and texture. Personally not a big fan of titanium as it’s too light. Thickness is certainly on the higher size as lugs kinda float. Wonder why they don’t release same watch in SD

Sbgh347 - Lovely watch but underwhelming dial colour

Tried SBGH347 at the boutique today. Loved the case size and even the height, goes well with the smaller case size, wears like a dream.
Only thing I noticed is dial color is too muted. Tried it in different lighting conditions but outside direct showroom light it’s even more pale… Most times plain silver/white with very little colour… Dial texture is very nice.
Too bad as I thought deal was right. Thinking is settling for SBGX261

GS or Omega as next buy

I fortunately have a couple GS 40mm. However next one has to be max 38mm so contemplating Aqua Terra 38 or SBGH347/SBGX261
Not able to decide. Pls share suggestions

Size check pls

I could only capture this view… in mirror view it did appear a bit small but I’m cool with that, better small than too big
PS I have 6.75” wrists and own sbgh205, sbgr327 and sbgh327 but feel all wear a bit large for my liking
Pls share your views

Resilience of Grand Seiko’s 9S85

Grand Seiko has engineered the Caliber 9S85 | Grand Seiko with materials and design choices that aim to minimize magnetic disturbance, but how does this translate into real‑world performance? Does the movement maintain its accuracy when worn near magnetic sources, like magnetic clasp? How does it compare to other movements in similar range, from likes of Omega, Tudor, or Rolex?

How to wear watch?

Sorry this isn’t a troll post. Instead of centering the watch at the wrist joint, I like to position a bit upward toward the distal forearm… pics attached

Question is it hardly sticks there and tends to move to the centre. I’ve tried bracelets, moved around the links either side, tried leather straps, rubber straps, elastic natos etc. better articulating material helps but not entirely.

If you find this post dumb, pls continue scrolling. If you can add valuable points, you’re most welcome
