Seiko

In a thread recently (here it is) - where I posted my original grail Grand Seiko, the SBGH035, Captain Scarlet mentioned it would be quite helpful if I expounded on how I started appreciating GS and what got me down that particular rabbit hole. So with a...  

That was and still is a very Important Grand Seiko, was not an average GS High Beat but a Special with a highly accurate mechanical movement and high level finishing. The only thing better would be a reissue of the VFA. ...  

And thanks for being a very important part of the journey for me - much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We help and support each other in our journeys

Lots of support received over the years 😊👍🏻🙏🏻 Btw. do you still have yours?

The usual story, had to sacrifice it to get another piece 😢

Hope it went to a good home 🤞🏻👍🏻

As important as the piece itself, is the story of the decision and the hunt. Ok, maybe not as important, but important and very enjoyable!

Thanks for sharing this story that inspire and remind us as you very eloquently put, why we chase these trinkets that make our lives a bit more colorful.

You used the Master Spreadsheet of Grand Seikos which you referenced early in your GS journey, I noticed by reviewing some old files. MASTER SPREADSHEET It’s woefully out of date but if anyone has a few hundred hours and wants to bring it into the current... 

The prospect is at the same enticing and daunting - and first and foremost I want to thank you for even suggesting it 😊 I have indeed used it as I remembered yesterday when looking for posts about my GS journey. Would need to sleep on it 😊

and not blow it up 🫨. Or is there a database guru who can suggest a better way that would remain easily accessible? I think the main subsections speak for themselves and it’s just a matter of adding extra years, models, colors, production if you find it o... 

Been a while since I used the particular machine so need to get the cobwebs off first 😉🕸️
