my grail doesn’t exist yet (as far as i’m aware). there are 2 big boxes i want to tick: traveler GMT and a spring drive. i want the ultimate (to me) expression of each, and while it’s possible it could be one watch ticking both boxes, i think it’s more likely to be two separate watches.
GMT- the most likely candidate is if tudor brings the updated design language from the refreshed bb41 burgundy to the rootbeer. i hope they do it and i think there’s a decent shot, but not for a few years (or several).
spring drive- the tough thing about this is that grand seiko’s design language is too formal, even their sports watches. i like the watches but those designs don’t fit my style very much. they do have a couple that are nice, like that big diver with the maxi cathedral hands. the perfect GS spring drive for me doesn’t exist yet, but i like the direction they’re going. it may be more likely i’ll find what i want in the prospex LX line. but in any case there are no dealers in the seattle area for GS or LX for me to try on (that i’m aware of).
