  • Hey Everyone,
    Hope this video finds you well!
    I just wanted to spend some time admiring the Elegante in the light of the Grand Seiko SoC
    Thanks for watching!

    The comparison no one asked for, but we all needed. Thanks for showing us these two great watches together. Magnificent, 9F for life!

    The F.P is my dream watch. But so expensive 😭

    Very cool comparison and I am glad you had the chance to experience both together!

    I own and enjoy the Sea of Clouds. Looking forward to your deep dive on the Elegante -- never seen another design like it.
    And thank you for taking time out from timepieces to talk about the eternal!

    Both are beautiful watches Sanjay but the FP is getting my attention from the case design and how they put the second sub dial perfectly

      Oh absolutely! No question that it's the better watch 🙂
      Thanks my friend!

    Honestly I don't know why so much hype about the Elegante. Seiko has Auto Relay function decades ago.

      because it's a work of art. hype? there are so few of them to go around. There's no hype around Seiko because they make 10 million watches a year

      I'd say it's because this sort of movement is unheard of in the "ultra luxury" world.
      I've been watching some interviews regarding this watch, and it's almost comical what they are blown away by. That said, I think it is amazing because it's so unexpected and unusual in this space 🙂

    Nice vid. My guess is the Elegant’s second hacking spring has a malfunction. Wear in good health and don’t let that one go easily.

    Both beautiful. Slightly worrying about the hacking on the FP Journe though!

    • @engineer_wannabe
      @engineer_wannabe  ปีที่แล้ว

      They really are!
      I'm sure the FP is fine and it will probably be sorted out when it goes for service.
      Thanks for watching 🙂

    Hey Sanjey, I love the grandseiko. I just have a personal question. Are you financially comfortable(By that I mean rich haha)? I am always surprised that you buy almost all major grand seiko releases considering their price is so high. Sorry if this is too personal. You don't have to reply to my question. Thank you.

    • @Brew2point0
      @Brew2point0 ปีที่แล้ว

      1) "Rich" means different things to different people.
      2) You can be comfortable without considering yourself rich.
      3) Asking about someone's personal finances lacks taste.

      @@crimsontheta2647 The cringe compels me. Consider it a public service announcement. As you ask, "Are you rich?" people hear you declaring, "I lack class." Do what you want with that information.

      Not too personal 🙂
      I don't keep all the watches. I tend to trade my watches in shortly after I review them on this channel.
      I'd consider myself rich...but not in a proud way.
      Only because I am blessed with so much while a vast majority of the world has next to nothing
