Similarly, found this elusive masterpiece: Credor GBBD997 Thinnest, and rich engrave
.. from my very trusted friend down under 
Thanks, my friend! As in my previous reports, Mr. Sakurai is one of the only two watchmakers who can assemble/ service this 6899 movement and Mr. Terui is the one who does all the complicated engraving. This IS the masterpiece by those two well known gentlemen in Seiko Instruments Inc.
Even the guys can wear this from time to time. Very nice engraving....
Ah, so nice....
Small? I say, just fit my wrist!
It's great to have this one finally!
Have a great weekend!

Deliciously decadent, Ken!! . . .
. . . a skeleton platinum Credor? Wow! Another model I wasn't aware of until just now . . .
It's late 90s "vintage" :-)
Now the newer version is available with a bit bigger size (still 36mm) and 2, 4, 7 engraving on front. The movement is the same one and made by the same duo! This has been on my list for long, too long.... Ken
Great find!
This size looks great on you. Finally your quest is over for this beauty. I wonder though, does the engraving change over period of time? I know the current design has 2/4/7 but i am thinking, if he had different engraving every few years, that would be i...
Thanks, takeshi!
As far as I know, there are this, and the newer, a bit larger model in the Credor line. The engraving are all hand made, so each individual pieces may be a bit different. Other creative work of the engraver can be found in my previous articles like these:...

Beautiful Credor, Ken.
Having handled the Shinji Hattori special, which was also engraved by Mr. Terui, I can safely say your Credor must be much more beautiful in real life. Just one stroke! Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Indera
