Horological Meandering

Seiko unveiled several interesting watches at Baselworld 2011. I had hear rumours about several of them prior to Baselworld and am glad they have come to fruition. The flagship watch for the year is undoubtedly the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater (Ref...  

i am so definately getting the anniversary GS. thks SJX for the info best, Horo

. . . Seiko's 130 anniversary offering. Steel, Horo? Precious metal is out of the question for me, but steel is just do-able . . .

Thanks for the report SJX.

I have been trying my hardest to pull the trigger on the current GS hi beat anniversary watch and I just can't find it attractive even at a favorable price. This one offers the beauty of the pure Seiko design, and the choice of metals should satisfy the f... 

interesting report, the minute repeater refletcs fair deal of emotions... Faisal
