I believe in taking care of my Grand Seikos, in balanced polishing, and a rigorous morning wind routine.
In the morning, if my watch is a little scratched, I'll put on polyWatch while switching out NATO straps.

I have a thousand now

After I remove the polyWatch, I use a deep steel cleanser.
In the ultrasonic bath, I use a water-activated gel cleanser.
Then, to make it smell good, I put a honey-almond perfume on it.
I always use a perfume with little or no alcohol,
because alcohol dries the gaskets and makes the watch less water resistant.

There is an idea of a Grand Seiko .
Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real watch.
Only an entity-- something illusory.
And though you can see its cold snowflake dial.
And you can put it on your wrist and feel the metal gripping you.
And maybe you can even sense its spring drive powering the seconds hand,
It’s simply not a Rolex
