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, and likely available only in Japan, as Grand Seikos were rarely exported during their initial run decades ago.

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...
