Now that is a collection!
These are all great watches, but I have some favorites. The 44GS is a watch I really love (although I have never tried it one) but I suspect that if I was able to get my hands one one that would be the perfect dress watch for me at any price point. I find the case so interesting, and the dial perfect. The one with the blued seconds hands (is that the white gold or the steel?) is just the absolute peak for me. I love what you have done with the spring drive diver on military strap, I would never have thought of that myself. Any high beat GMTs on the cards?
Good news friends!
Today, I have come into the Grand Seiko fold. The deposit is down, and now I\'m letting go of a watch and getting myself organised for pick up in March. Watch this space!
Brilliant! :)
Will you keep it a surprise or will you share which reference you went for? Here\'s my SBGH035 saying hi ...
I'm going to keep it a surprise! Plus I haven't seen it posted on here before.
Mine will be saying hi back soon! It\'s been a very exciting day for me, I\'m already looking forward to lengthy post about my new watch since I\'ve spent some time with it!
Great :)
Looking forward to seeing what you went for. Am confident that you\'ll enjoy the brand a lot - understated but so easily getting under your skin
Exactly
It got under my skin a while ago, it was just a matter of \'which one?\' And now the price/value ratio of my Swiss watches makes me cringe! In certain ways. We\'ll see how I go in the near future!
Inducing second thoughts about Swiss (and German!) watches . . .
. . . as a value proposition is precisely what Grand Seiko is about. Some folks, once having discovered their intrinsic value and innate beauty, continue along the same path, expanding their GS collections. Others (myself included) are satisfied with an e...
Very interesting point of view/topic.
Since I've only been here for a bit more than 2 years I don't know if there has been real discussion about comparing the watches from the three countries. If there hasn't perhaps we should delve into it. PuristS is a perfect Forum for it-no ties to any br...
Thanks MJ23!
Been with me for a year now A great companion, I have to say and surprisingly versatile. Can only recommend it! More here:
Thanks for sharing.
You are getting me poisoned! It\'s good that there is no grand seiko AD near where I live.
That should not be an impediment ;)
Regular visits to the Seiko section of PuristSPro will help for a start and we will happily recommend, where they can be sourced once you\'re ready
Good for you.....
Harry2. It will be a lengthy two months of wait for you and for us as well. I am looking forward to your posts. Best Regards Edward
Another one bites the dust!
