Good items from the 2000s②

Continuing from yesterday, I'd like to talk about good items from the 2000s.

In the early 2000s, a lot of "things" were mixed together,
Since I didn't know what was the correct answer,
I don't think there was anything that said, ``It's gotta be this.''

In terms of clothes, I think people these days are really fashionable.
There are very few people who wear denim that looks unfashionable like yesterday's denim.
Many people pay close attention to everything from the hem to the size of their clothes.
If you watch the dramas and movies from that time, you'll understand.
There are only a few people who are really fashionable, and most people are loose,
At worst, there are many people who look untidy.

Speaking of watches,
During the Japan-Korea World Cup held in 2002,
British hero David Beckham visits Japan.
Not only does it play well, but it also looks cool and is super stylish.
Speaking of Beckham at the time, he was wearing Dorugaba denim.
The fact that he was wearing a watch with a large case size became a hot topic.

At that time, I was wearing a Panerai watch.
It was also at this time that Panerai, which only those who were serious watch enthusiasts knew about, suddenly became famous.
I think anyone who knows anything about watches will understand this.
The perception at the time was that a used Panerai was expensive even at 200,000 yen.
Who would wear a watch this big? That's how it was treated.

However, as the Panerai name spread due to Beckham's influence,
Not only official stores but also parallel import stores, used specialty stores, etc.
All kinds of Panerai watches disappeared from the market,
It will be sold at a premium price.

It's a phenomenon similar to the old "Kimutaku x Explorer",
The fact that there is not much difference in the market even now is that
Does this mean that trends have been influenced by someone for the past 30 years?

However, it is true that the more I learned about Panerai at the time, the more interesting it was.
It may follow the trend, but
I also bought logo bases, pica subs, etc.
However, I personally lost interest and fun around the in-house developed move,
When I look back at watches from that time, they are not all bad.




Santos Galbe XL arrived the other day.
Actually, this is the first time I've seen this watch (lol)
I've sold a lot of watches, but there's a reason I've never picked one up.

This watch came out around 2006.
Until then, Santos Garbe was an LM size that we had handled several times at our store.
It was quite small at the time, so it must have been a model change.
At that time, the most talked about Cartier model was the "Santos 100."
This XL and Santos 100 MM are about the same size,
The Santos 100LM size is even larger than that.
The size is comparable to large cases such as Panerai.

Because of this, Santos Garbe itself did not sell at all.
SM size was very popular among women,
For men, only Panerai-sized watches were selling well, so
Later, each brand would become larger.

The XL size Santos Garbe, which looks big now,
At that time, people didn't pay any attention to it because it seemed small.
The number of pitches was low, probably because sales did not increase.
I thought it would finally get noticed after nearly 15 years.
Above all, there is so little that I can't compare it (lol)

Personally, I prefer the older model because it is quite large,
People who are tall or have a good physique,
If your wrist circumference is approximately 19cm or more, this is the perfect size.
Isn't this perfect for those who find the old model small and the current model large?

Since it is a slightly special watch like this, the manufacturer takes great care in repairing it.
I set the price considering other sales prices, but it is unlikely that it will be in stock next time.
Moreover, it comes fully equipped with accessories, so the conditions are not bad at all.
Of course, it's not a cheap purchase, so I think it's okay to worry about it.
In addition to the design,
There is no watch like this for those who are into the perfect size.

I also use Santos Galbe,
We are well aware of its ease of use and ease of matching, so
I don't think there is any reason not to buy this watch.
I would definitely buy it if I had 2 cm more around my wrist (lol)

I don't think you can go wrong considering the charm and content of the watch itself.
Please come and experience the charm of watches from the 2000s!
