If I had to say whether I liked it or not, I would say "I don't like it"...

The other day, the mainspring of my personal Grand Seiko, which I had been using for a long time, broke.
When I hand-wrap it before leaving the house, it is strangely hard.
When you pull the crown to the time adjustment position, you will hear a "bash!" sound.
At that moment, I was sure that the mainspring had run out, and when I manually wound it, it was empty.
Well, it can't be helped because the mainspring will suddenly break one day.
It also means that the GS, which I have been using almost every day for about a year and a half, has done a good job.

Oddly enough, the timing was right,
The maintenance of the constellation that was scheduled to be used from this fiscal year has been completed.
I don't think it has anything to do with the GS mainspring breaking.




This is the third generation C-line case.
Changed to flat mineral glass from the third generation,
The case design is also a little flat.
Changing the notation on the dial and the size of the crown,
The early model of the bracelet looks like this.
And above all, the machine changes to high beat,
I feel like it has become something different compared to the first and second generation.

Personally, I like that the Constellation C-line is only available in the first generation Date.
Considering practicality, the second generation Day-Date is not bad.
Above all, the round plastic windshield is good for low beat movements,
I don't really like the third generation and beyond.
Is it kind of modern?
It may be called vintage, but
I feel like it's a little too sharp.
So why are you using this?

There is no other reason than the "blue dial" (lol)
Blue is added to the dial from the third generation,
For some reason, this color is how I'm feeling right now.
Also, I don't know why I don't use Constellation even though I recommend it so much.

In the past, silver was used in the first generation C line,
I once again confirmed that the Constellation is a good watch.
I don't really like bracelet watches, but
Like the Cartier Pasha, the Constellation is easy to use.
However, if I were to buy a new watch, I would probably limit myself to an early date model.

Nowadays, you can hear various opinions through reviews and exchange sites, but
I don't know if the person in question actually used it himself or not.
I think it's best to hear opinions like this from people who have actually used them.
If you look at someone from the side, you can easily see their superficial opinions.
Therefore, I always recommend products that I have used myself.

The third generation Constellation isn't bad either, but
The power reserve is weak, probably due to the rotor's poor rotational efficiency.
In the past, I experienced this with other watches equipped with the same mechanism, but
The current product was developed by improving these dissatisfaction when using the product.
But personally, I feel more attached to it if it's a little bit "difficult to use".
I guess that's why I don't find the current products so good that they hardly break down appealing.

Opinions vary from person to person, and only the person himself or herself knows what is correct or not.
・I like the design ・It's in good condition ・I like the color ・There are various reasons for buying a watch that don't overlap with other people's watches, so it's good to have a variety of opinions.
I think all of them are correct and there are no mistakes.

This time, I am using it for a reason specific to the C line of the "blue dial",
There may be a surprisingly simple reason why it lasts longer.
