Very nice, though I'd say that's more metallic grey (other toyotas) than magnetite grey (twins), so that would annoy me
That’s the fault of the bright showroom lights. In natural light the grey part of the bezel looks a lot darker and it’s almost impossible to distinguish it from the black - unlike the red & blue on my GMT ‘Pepsi’ which you can see from a mile away!Very nice, though I'd say that's more metallic grey (other toyotas) than magnetite grey (twins), so that would annoy me

As daily watch I wear this Seiko 5:
It matches the car very well. And as other mentioned already Seikos and GR86s have alot in common.
For Special occasions this one get some time one the wrist:
It is a Seiko Lord Matic Special from the 1970s.

Seeing as I've not bought any new timepieces since last year, I thought I'd go ‘retro’ and treat myself to a Christopher Ward 'The Twelve' (40mm) in glacier blue as my new GR86 driving timepiece. I look forward Rocking that 70s Vibe!
Edit: I've also added a light blue rubber strap so as I can swap as the mood takes me. Funkeh!

Well, I have only just seen this thread and no doubt, watches, pens, coins, motorbikes, the list could go do. Since I deem nothing in the boxes I own appropriate, then I would have to buy this Seiko. Tough, rugged and cheap with a flash of red. Sounds like my GR86
Yeah! Some Retro heft there for sureI would have to buy this Seiko. Tough, rugged and cheap with a flash of red. Sounds like my GR86
I wouldn't buy that, it's clearly got something wrong and needs a full service.Since I deem nothing in the boxes I own appropriate, then I would have to buy this Seiko. Tough, rugged and cheap with a flash of red. Sounds like my GR86
And that astute observation is based upon?
The fact that a wrist watch shouldn't sound anything like a GR86

I’ve travelled the world with this one, hopefully the GR86 is as reliable and long lasting.

Literally observation. However, a loud tick might be apt.
At a first look, I'd say that's the 16570? Prince Harry used to wear one during his Army days.
Does the watch enable you to keep a kill-count?
Nice! I have a C63 Sealander GMTSeeing as I've not bought any new timepieces since last year, I thought I'd go ‘retro’ and treat myself to a Christopher Ward 'The Twelve' (40mm) in glacier blue as my new GR86 driving timepiece. I look forward Rocking that 70s Vibe!
