I had been searching for a nice example of the Grand Seiko 6185-8020 "VFA" for some time now. Finally my search is over! 
“VFA” movements that were first introduced to the market in 1970. “VFA” stands for “Very Fine Adjusted”, and these calibers were regulated to an incredible -2/+2 seconds per day, with the watches guaranteed to be accurate to within a minute a month for the first two years of ownership. - The Grand Seiko Guy.

Thanks!
I agree, I think that a lot of their modern re-issue interpretations are similar but not spot on to their original models. A lot long time collectors or Seiko and GS are not too impressed but the new collectors of the brands are happy with what they're pu...
