There’s an upcoming 5000u Heritage Series release. You might like the new white model as it resembles the blizzard white gshock you previously reviewed, but it has all the premium features of this 5000u.

@ Been wondering the same thing as I’m also going for the white model! The reference number is: GW-5000HS-7 Been following pages like g-central for updates, but I believe the Heritage Series models may have just dropped recently in Japan. I’m starting to see some for sale on Japan sites. I haven’t seen any concrete updates about when/if they’d release in the US.

@ Definitely! It’d be a great JDM duo along with your current 5000u. Black resin and symmetrical display layout, and white resin with OG brick layout. There wouldn’t be overlap

Wise choice. I love mine. Pro tip: ALWAYS import from Japan - even if you get stung with import fees, they're still cheaper than (UK) retail.

The coaxial is nothing great, it’s just an escapement. Too many brainwashed nut jobs thinking it’s high horology. That particular Omega “movement” is nothing beyond any movement that Rolex currently has on offer. The Omega SMP is a middle class piece, and surprising they still haven’t recessed that disgusting wart inside the case. It’s just an ugly, cartoonish piece with childish waves too deeply ingrained into the dial. It’s a casual looking piece, lacking in refinement, lacking in class - it’s not a status piece. The Rolex, is perfect. Only a fool would choose the Omega SMP over a Submariner, given the choice of either as a free gift.

I'd been hesitant to buy a G-Shock until I got a GW-5000U-1ER. I immediately loved it. Back then I thought it'd be only G-Shock, the only one I'll ever need. Now I'm waiting for a GW-5000HS-7ER to arrive at the end of the month. Pretty much the same watch in white. Hope I won't end up buying more G-Shocks 😂

Picked this up in trade with omega sedna diver chronograph (way too damn big) and picked up the rubber deployant. I actually lovd the sm bracelet but the rubber deployant is so comfortable and looks stunning the silver clasp dresses it up a bit. Frankly irs better looking and wearing than my sd 43 and sub 41 date (sold the sub). The only thing i like better about the sd 43 is the cyclops as i got bad vision

@BrokeWatchFanatic i bought the sedna at a great deal but as soon as i got it regretted it and worked a trade within 2 days lol. If I didn't have too many watches already I'd think about adding the sedna on rubber strap the chrono version is too top heavy and the omega rubber straps both tang and deployant are great for the sm 300 but dotn support a big and floppy watch head adequately.

Great comparison video. Genault really nailed it with the OC2.5, only downside is the extra large unnecessary KINETIC CONTIUNOUS and massive OCEAN ROVER text which clutters the dial design. Less is more when it comes to this feature and the dial would be perfectly balanced if they got ir right . They actually killed it on the previous Ocean Rover 1dial but fucked up on inflating the text size on the successor like many unneccesary design changes we see these days. Great Design is about keeping the best parts that work and improving the ones that don't. A perfect example is the hideous new BMW designs we see with their enormous grilles.

​@@BrokeWatchFanaticThat's the next problem. Nothing more horrible than a Seiko Service (Germany here). The watch might come back even worse. That's my experience. For me, no more Seikos. I don't understand why Seiko doesn't care. I have the SLA051 and the Alpinist limited 1958 (Laurel) Model. together 5 grand, put into sand. FY Seiko.

I just ordered the black one. I was tempted to just go with the standard version but I don’t like fingerprint magnets and scratches. I am fine with the standard clasp. The new clasp looks bulky to me. I have a submariner on order so it will be my dressy watch and the Sinn will be my tool watch.

I used to have the 1863 and loved the bracelet. The 3861 was a big upgrade for me over the 1863 because I could see the movement which was a deal breaker for me. Then I bought the New FOIS 2 weeks ago and that completely blows away both of the above speedys in my opinion.

@BrokeWatchFanatic i have read a few forums about the issue of this 3235, 30 and others movement, at the begining works fine, then (one year later or more) starts to lose time and drops amplitud. Did you have this problem? I bought this watch 6 months ago. I love it, up to now keeps excellent time.

I own a Seamaster and love it. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I have three issues with Rolex: (1) They do massive marketing and you pay for that in the price of the watch. (2) They don't keep time well - Ask jewelers who sell both and they will give you an honest answer. (3) Too many people think Rolex is the ultimate status symbol and buy them to impress others. If you buy a watch for yourself, you'll gravitate away from Rolex and toward better value brands.

Try the black Uncle chocolate bar on it in 19mm man. Looks incredible on my SJE093. The bezel is steel with a titanium carbide coating I read somewhere. I believe your alignment can be adjusted by a watchmaker.
