The story of my Izul

I had been very impressed with the first Spring Drive I acquired in 2007 : Seiko SBDB001 aka MM600.
This watch is really great, the GMT Spring Drive caliber is a killer, it's probably my most robust and reliable watch. The MM600 is definitely the watch from my collection that has more wrist time.

I bought my first Grand Seiko in 2009 : SBGA029, another diver's watch powered by a great Spring Drive caliber.

As you can guess, I have some kind of fascination for Spring Drive calibers.

During fall 2009, I was at the Paris Seiko Boutique for a private event.
And I discovered the incredible Izul line with a Spring Drive chronograph caliber.
A Spring Drive chronograph was missing in my collection, but I was not very fond of Ananta models. The Izul is not playing in the same league.
So I bought SDAA003.

It is pure luck : I was in the right place I the right time.

Cheers
