Yes, it does!
... my tongue slipped. Yes, including yours, there are several Chronometre models non-GS.... in vintage world. This one, I only mentioned as it is one of the modern non-GS.. 
And no need to worry about being sued or complained by COSC, hehehe.
Thanks, Steve, for a great shot as always.

So, a watchfool and the the god of adjustment went to the restaurant :-)
He brought some of his nice collection of his (which of course he has done adjusting himself or he will in time).... I would want any of what he has adjusted..... Please read also the interview of this "god" here : amp;ti=824423&fi=112&s=0 Sorry f...
Weighted hairsprings...
Would very much like to hear a conversation with Mr. Ohira on the principle of weighting a hairspring. I assume it is to function much like an overcoil in its intended effect- controling poising errors from the hairspring's expansion and contraction in a ...
I am guessing the same thing about the weight on the hair spring...
.. and will get back to you hopefully soon. As for the accuracy, the VFA is right now less than 1 second per day in any position as well as daily wearing usage. Ken
Very very impressive!
I feel that is a feat well beyond the skills of most watchmakers in the world, in fact this is the first I have ever heard of such level of timing between 6 positions. I had no idea that level of timing was possible with a normal mechanical watch! Of cour...
Actually...
.... he is now the senior trainer at the training center for GS global customer service facilities and therefore he has to visit CS centers around the world to train the servicing watchmakers for GS.... :-) Also, I think that the design of the VFA movemen...
The question I would like to ask . . .
. . . of Mr Ohira is how long a tuned movement will retain its timing before drifting off. Understandably, there isn't a hard and fast answer, but one wonders how long adjustments last on average before he has to take screwdrivers in hand again. Sorta lik...
Very reasonable question.
I am interested, too. My VFA has been doing great for several months already. He has done more than several for his own and I will ask him next time I meet him. But my guess is that is the matter of the parts life. If the main spring is dead, it would be ...
Hahaha... I know, I know..
.. but all current GS can be adjusted to that level - but it would need time. It's just that they cannot take such a long time for adjustment but have to ship as soon as the new watches accuracy get within the GS standard (6 positions, NOT 5 positions, mi...
Fantastic Post..
I love to see these Vintage beauties and your Credor...I am in Deep Serious Love with it :-) Do you have more pics of the NOS 4420 GS? Thanks for Sharing :-) S
Thanks...
... I will probably see it again once he finishes the adjustment and servicing on it. May take months, though :-) Ken
Thanks for the efforts Ken...
I think an image would answer a lot of questions, at least for myself. Kind regards Anthony
Ah!...
.. now the appearance has not changed, but the movement sharpness has dramatically gone up :-) Hope to see you again soon! Ken
Great read
I am curious if there are other people in the world who comes close to him in terms of adjusting. You must show me your VFA when i visit you Ken.
Terrific! You know, I love all these watches
the Credor is really gorgeous! Don't know if this qualifies, but maybe there is another Seiko non-GS chronometer: ...
Yes, it does!

The Credo is beautiful...
... it looks like a nice size, easy to read. But I also agree about the view of the movement. It would be nice to see under that plate! - Scott
Oh, yes....
... this is a real hidden gem. Not known to many - who would imagine Chronometer from Cr brand? Interesting "experiment" indeed. Ken
