One more welcome to our Seiko forum . . .
. . . from a long-term fan of the manufacturer. Simplicity is a virtue, and Seiko has it in spades.
Wearing Dad's hand-me-down the last few days, a '65 Sea Lion. Not running well at the moment; one final visit to my watchmaker on tap.
If it's going to take heroic measures to restore, I may just put it to rest permanently. That will be a sad day.
Cordially,

Newbie
I\'m new here. I stumbled upon Grand Seiko while wading into the world of fine watches and was immediately won over by their "substance over style" approach - I\'m a big fan of understatement. This was a Christmas present from my wife - SBGA127. Sorry for...
A warm welcome.
We would love to hear more about your experience and collection. Bill
Novice
I'm at novice level. My first decent watch was a Movado from my wife as a wedding gift almost 30 years ago. I also have an Accutron I got as a 20th anniversary gift. ...
Once you have two watches you have a collection.
This will be a great place to share with other collectors. Welcome again. Bill
Yep, though technically it's my wife's
She's getting this for Mother's Day, though she doesn't know it. ...
Nice
Congratulations on the SBGA127. That's one of my favorite pieces with the blue dial and titanium case & bracelet. Although I don't have the SBGA127, my wife has an STGF077 too! She really likes that watch and we both enjoy the high quality, comfort, and u...
Thanks!
I'm hoping she'll like it. I'm a little nervous it might be too dressy for everyday use with the diamond-point hour markers...
It'll only be too dressy for you to wear
If it's too much for her, you'll just have to find a simpler GS for her! Like this: (I've warned her no watches in the hot tub, but wives ... what can you do?) Cheers Cazalea ...
Very versatile
Like most Grand Seiko's, the STGF077 is subtle and classy. The diamond marks are very discreet, much more so than the diamond bezel on other models.
Great taste on both accounts...
Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Enjoy wearing it and admiring the Spring Drive and immaculate polishing... Have a good week ahead -
You start with a bang!
Congratulations and your wife has great taste! The longer you wear it, the more you will appreciate its (and GS\') quality! Enjoy!
Family portrait.
My spring drive is running about 1/2 second ahead - this pic was snapped right before my wife's second hand snapped to the next marker. Yeah, I'm a little anal retentive... ...
Synchronisation is not that simple ;o)
Having a Spring Drive, or even better a 9F at hand, is for any \'normal\' watch sufficiently accurate for time setting... So no need to grab the smart phone/ getting into the internet. Nice pairing!

How did your wife come to chose a Grand Seiko?
I\'m curious: Did you prompt her? Was it the striking blue dial color? Do you have friends with GSS? Don\'t mean to be nosy, I\'m just wondering how others come down the path I too have chosen ... Cheers, Cazalea
