Horological Meandering

Thanks SJX, wow!

 

I would be definitely interested in 130 Anniversary GS, in SS, of course.  Wish it had been hi-beat, but heck.
MR is also interesting...  Wow, is the word.. Would love to see and hear in person.

I am glad they made it to Basel this year under the circumstances and it is very encouraging!

Thanks,

Ken

Seiko at Baselworld 2011

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...

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

SS version for me too

gold and plat versions places it too close for certain makes with simple 2/3 hands, like VC or JLC. moreover, i am saving money, you would love this.... for a Zenith chrono!! best, Horo This message has been edited by Hororgasm on 2011-03-24 09:21:52

high quality and diverse range of offerings from Seiko. Also good to see them pushing the technical envelope in useful ways with the fabrication of the escape wheels and levers, and the silent governor on the Credor repeater. I too can see one of these ve... 

Love the new 60s-style Grand Seikos!

 
By: dxboon : March 24th, 2011-21:27
They are a great size and look amazingly classic; timeless! I can't wait to see live pictures of the watch and movement! Bring it on, SJX! Cheers, Daos

Unfortunately....

 
By: KIH : March 26th, 2011-04:00
...this one doesn't have the display back - SEIKO tried to re-produce the 60s model rather strictly. So, only screw back and no deployant buckle for that matter... :-( Ken

Thanks for the info, Ken! :-)

 
By: dxboon : March 26th, 2011-07:15
I am okay with the solid caseback, but the movement does look nice. No deployant works okay for me too. I don't mind the good old tang buckle. Cheers, Daos

So happy to see the new GS commemorative

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... 

Thanks SJX
