Joined the Club

After being an admirer from afar for some time, I finally joined the club. I ended up buying the SBGE305 “Hotaka Summer”. It’s true what they say, you have to see them in the metal! I went to a boutique thinking I was going to get a diver, the lions main, or the mistake. I had seen the Hotaka Summer online and didn’t like it at all. In fact, I thought it was, dare I say…ugly!

It was in the window on display and it just captivated me. I tried it on along with a few others and fell in love it. I left the boutique having narrowed it down to two. The mistake or the Hotaka Summer. (The Shunbun was a close 3rd and will probably be my next GS). I couldn’t stop thinking about it for months. I finally pulled the trigger. Couldn’t be happier.

Here’s a few photos. I need to work on my watch photography skills and open to pointers. I’ll include a side by side of the mistake and Hotaka Summer. Let me know if you thing o made the right choice!

Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!
