Small gathering in somewhere in Europe with another GS fan!
I have been on business trip so often these days. This small gtg happened in mid September but couldn't process until now.
I was so happy that the GS fans are getting truly global and I am especially glad that this happened in Europe - never imagined it before.
Please enjoy some pics. And my big thanks to Mr. N!
His beautiful sun burst dial Spring Drive GS. Very, very nice!
Also his treasure - gold "Special" Hi-Beat modern GS. Wonderful! I have never seen one in person.
And all the characters who gathered at the venue (from two owners, he and I)
From top left clockwise - GS first SS, 61GS VFA, Spring Drive GS, Gold Hi-Beat GS, Modern GS first re-issue, original 44GS.
I hope to meet up with the new GS guru or nuts or fans wherever I go.... I also thank the one who arranged this meet from US.
Thank you! Wonderful meet-up and I very much appreciate these opportunities.
Best,
Ken

Looking great
Well, if another GS meeting in Europe is of interest, I can offer a location, sadly not such a collection, though But with time, who knows...
Thank goodness . . .
. . . for business trips! My first vintage Grand Seiko (and second altogether) was delivered in person yesterday . . . . . . by our Seiko sensei on a visit to our shores. Mid-'70s GS 56, which I discovered on this forum last year. Apparently very few made...
Looks great on your wrist, Art....
... let me know what you feel after you live with it for a while.... Ken
Spectacular watch you got there!
Remember seeing the model in one of the posts here before. A very \'playful\' GS but all the better for it!
Barely enough GSs for each GSG at our dinner
That would be Grand Seiko Geeks! It's a lovely watch, Art. Cazalea ...
What can I say, Mike . . .
. . . other than I bonded with my latest addition immediately. I don't want to take it off my wrist - at least, not for a week or so. The funny thing is, I didn't even know of its existence until last year, when Ken posted a variant (blue dial, date and d...
