thankyou Tony, i would probably consider a vintage,
but finding a good one is very hard. the seller i found had several vintage
models but all had marked dials or were as expensive as a new one.

i've just sold a huge vintage collection to
concentrate on newer models so newish is first preference.

from what i understand, Seiko have 2 factories
which compete with each other in order to maintain high standards. 1 factory
make Grand Seiko which must be the far easts top brand, the other factory i
think, make the credor and made the king seiko.

i think the Grand would be the one to go for, but
it will just go on my wish list like all the others. as time passes(pun
unintended) the wishlist will be fullfilled.

Japanese Brands. Grand Seiko, King seiko, Citizen leopard
having seen lots about the grand Seiko and admired its obviously high standard of build quality. movements adjusted to 6 positions and subjected to more rigourous standards(allegedly) than COSC i was googling the brand and also came across King seiko and ...
Grand Seiko, etc.
Hi Graham, I certainly don't consider myself to be an expert, but I do own three unusual Seikos, two of which are vintage, and one of which is a Grand Seiko. The latter is one of the earliest and finest GS handwind models (pictured). Assuming that you are...
Not Citizen Leopard but this one
Hi Graham, Just wanna share an opinion mostly known by Japanese collectors with you here, the answer to GS particularly the first model (3180) and the second model (430 or 5722 or one shown by TonyC) was not Citizen Leopard at all but it was Citizen Chron...
Grand Seiko is really a grand watch
Hi I traded off a very nice Swiss Paul Gerber watch and sold a few others and now have a group of Grand Seikos. I have also owned The Citizen super-accurate quartz which is nice, but not as nice as the GS. For example. Here's a manual wind of mine. Look a...
I'm certainly happy to see some GS buzz.....
As they say at Homeland Security, there's a lot of chatter lately on the subject of Grand Seiko. It's getting to be a poorly-kept secret. I couldn't be more pleased with mine. The fit and finish is truly on par with watches costing 2 or 3 times as much. I...
are you happy with the...
are you happy with the spring drive 'slightly quartzy' movement?
touche :) i suppose the spring drive is just another evolution
of the mechanical watch just like the silicium escapements etc and your comparison to fuel injection was accurate. i spent all last night searching ebay worldwide just to get an idea of availability and i only found about 4 all of which i'll have to save ...
been offered a 57 GS chronometer manual wind 35 jewel
at what seems like a very affordable price. the pics look good apart from a bit of wear to the gold lion. thisi s the 2nd model GS which only has seiko on the gold medal over the lion. its very correct according to a historical chronology i've googled so ...
Hi Gramm...
HI I personally would grab a vintage GS if you can find a nice example... I picked this one up a while ago. Was talking to a friend about getting one, was looking at his. He went out to get his mail and a big credt card bill came in and in the heat of the...
