Hello all,
I was referred to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I am an avid watch geek/collector and especially love dive watches. My tastes are fairly consistent and I normally become fixated on a specific brand or style a few times a year. Right now its Grand Seiko.
I own a watch company and watch strap company and have made many good friends through this "hobby".
Looking forward to interacting and learning more though all of you and the various forums here.
Regards,
Todd

Welcome, great to have you! Any specific Grand Seiko you've been eyeballing? Just checking out your site and your IG now. I like that you post other watches on your IG other than your own company. Obviously you own and run the Karlskrona watch brand. Do you own BradyStraps too?

Glad to have you aboard. I've thought of buying a Karlskrona in the past but never ended up doing it. I really like some of the designs you've got

Welcome! While I don't own any of your watches, I do have 2 of your Sailcloth straps. This one was the perfect match for my FFF mod. I can attest to the quality and comfort of these straps, the hardware is very nice as well. I was hesitant to pay the $35 or so for the strap from a brand I didn't know, but was very impressed with them.
Really happy you found your way over here, and also happy to support a fellow watch geek. I just checked out your website, and you are now on my radar!
GS is on my shortlist. Every time I think about moving upmarket and maybe buying an Explorer I or another Omega, I find a GS that is much more intriguing and a better value(IMO).

Re: Introduction
Nothing specific, although I’ve been gravitating towards vintage pieces. Would be interested in a birth year piece but the issue I’m finding is that all lug widths are 18mm which is just too small for my tastes.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 11:31 am Welcome, great to have you!
