Only a couple of years ago Grand Seiko launched the next generation of its Hi-Beat mechanical calibers which brought a level of technical decorative and finishing precision up to the standard of its already link famous dials and ultra-high-end Spring Drive movements. While GS was developing the link 9SA5 it was also working on a concept tourbillon with a remontoir constant-force mechanism. Now that mechanism has finally link seen life in a sellable limited edition watch the Kodo ref. SLGT003.

Martin Mull once said, “Writing about music link is like dancing about architecture.” Writing about a dance that was link choreographed about time is like cross-stitching about your own mortality.

I am turning up the heat a bit link for the last of my pre-owned Rolex link watches with integrated bracelets. This is the link Oysterquartz Day-Date ref. 19018. And it's not just any old Oysterquartz Day-Date but one with a burlwood dial to boot! link
