Wasn't it just a few months ago when I wrote . . .
. . . that further additions to my Seiko collection were unlikely?
Well, several years back, I also wrote about the desirability of a watch that could be adjusted by its user. I'd no idea that Seiko actually produced one.
When you think about it, this is really the ultimate enthusiasts watch.
Amazed,

Not Grand but both Royal and Special - latest incoming
While there is definitely a further Grand Seiko in my future, the current purchase did not go in that direction. Instead it was a very surprising piece, and my first vintage Seiko at that. As is often the case, I was looking for new watches on a well know...
Love Seiko KS...
They're really underappreciated but so beautiful! Congrats and Cant wait to see more of this piece here! S
Will aim to please :)
Give me a couple of weeks to get some pictures and experience with it...
Got some yourself, too?
There has only been one modern King Seiko - can understand why there is little space for both KS and GS but still, there have been some interesting pieces in the past, so there could be some potential...
Really like that
I was only just a day or two ago saying that it's a shame nobody developed a method to adjust the quartz rate without popping the caseback - trust Seiko!
Automatic, not quartz
But still a very cool adjustment option! Hope others follow at some point
Ah ok so still nothing for the quartz!
In any case this certainly pre-empts the URWERK EMC by a handful of decades!
As usually...
If you look hard enough, many ideas have already been tried previously Not sure if there has ever been anything of the sort for quartz...

Glad you like it, Art!
It really should be a no brainer, if you think about it Haven\'t played with it yet, as I\'ve only had the watch for a day and as it seems to be well within its stated chronometer range. My third vintage and I have to say I like them more and more
Just dipping my toes
It requires a lot more care, attention and research when compared to simply going to the AD for a new watch. But been very rewarding so far - and with fellow Purists, research becomes a lot easier (and more pleasant), too
I wonder if she has an adjustment screw under the lower lugs
More Vintage (prepare to laugh)
You mean to say...
The white bloused one is running a tad fast, and the blue bloused one a bit slow?
Actually I was thinking that gal in the first video didn't manage to complete
her disrobing before the music was over. Next time she needs to hurry it up a bit. Nice catch on that watch - you guys are knocking on doors all over the place and I'm stuck here in the PuristS office not buying anything! Mike
Did you not also get...
A GS56 recently? I have to say though that it is not easy going too long without a new toy to play with. And vintage makes it a bit easier on the wallet Glad you like the KS!
Maybe she's a self-starter, like . . .
. . . a Seiko movement. Give 'er a good shake . . . Shakin' all over . . . and watch her go!
Garage Psycho YouTube Channel?
Art, you entrepreneur! Who\'d ah thunk you had it in you?! Cazalea
LOL
I\'m getting old just by saying this but even go go dancers used to be cooler in the old days And the Seiko movement analogy is priceless I\'d say this one needs more maintenance than the average Seiko, though
Completely unexpected :)
Before I have seen this being for sale I was not even aware of its existence A quick check ensured the \'I wants it, I needs it, my precious\' feeling and here it is
Thank you!
Not sure about eBay - did not get it from there. But very chuffed with it, definitely a worthwhile purchase
