Grand Seiko, Sinn, or best option: Recessence.

One of the coolest dials out there. Got to try a few on a couple years ago

Wow, I’ve just looked up a Ressence. The type 1 is now my grail watch. The others are beautiful but are too futuristic looking for my style

Double thank you for introducing me to Ressence and also for inadvertantly introducing me to YoureTerrific on YT. He does a great video describing their Type 3.

These things are nuts! I first searched them on Chrono24 and thought, "yeah, those are neat in a kind of comic book styling way...but...wait...how does this thing move? That hand can't possibly rotate...hold up...the whole thing rotates and every dial is a seperate disc?!?!"

It’s been my grail for years, but I’ll never be able to afford one.

Damn near crapped myself when I saw one on a coworker

Also spelling: Ressence

[–] tecdocti@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Whoa… thanks for that. Didn’t know they existed. Added to the list!

Great now I need to get one of these. I really like the 1^(2) white. Only problem is there isn't anyone selling them in Canada.

[–] ethanwc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

MKII or original?

And I knew I spelled it wrong. But was lazy.

First time seeing one (not in person to be fair) and I thought it was something you’d get on Alix or Wish. Then I went and looked a little closer. Holy buckets! They are gorgeous and well done and the price tag to go with it.
