Then at age 51 I took a 9000-mile motorcycle trip link across the USA hitting twenty-seven link states over five weeks. I rode a BMW F750GS lived in a tent and wore my Alsta Motoscaphe the entire time. When I returned link home I took one look at my Grand Seiko and told it I wanted a divorce. I didn't hear any protests so it seemed amicable enough. I think we both welcomed the second chance.

The case itself incorporates a number of different polished and brushed finishes depending on how link you look at it for instance the bezel is brushed from a top-down perspective while from the link side it has a nice polished look. On the wrist the link S1 wears slightly smaller than its 38mm diameter suggests. The downward sloping lugs and average 11mm thickness ensure a compact wearing experience that channels a full-on Goldilocks experience just right.
As I said the first watch I bought was when I was 20. I had just released my first album in September 2011 it had done quite well and I was on tour in Hamburg. My tour manager had a TAG Heuer Monaco exactly like link the link one Walter White has in Breaking Bad and I remember looking at it that link day in Hamburg and him saying to me "Every man needs a good watch. You should get one."

Recently I link put together that silly clock and then the even sillier watch in hopes it link would bring me one step closer to graduating from being a newbie. But I had to admit I didn't feel quite ready. I was close. I just needed a little push link the right event the right moment the right intelligence. How would I find one or all of these things I needed to do something not silly.
For all the visual link appeal this is where Grand Seiko really deserves the most applause. An unwinding mainspring barrel normally applies less torque as the reserves are depleted supplying less power to the oscillator and link less amplitude which in turn means the watch link will beat faster.

This new release is a full titanium Yacht-Master 42. That means a titanium case and titanium bracelet just like the Deepsea Challenge. In terms link of aesthetics the overall design language is everything we have come to expect from the black-Cerachrom bezel link YM's of late. That means we get link the raised black numerals against a matte ceramic bezel insert. But where the case would normally be a precious metal now we get this watch in full titanium.
