A pair of Grand Seikos with Arabic dials
Hi all -
Thought you might enjoy seeing this pairing.
On the left, a rare 5646-7040 - the only men's vintage Grand Seiko with Arabic numerals. I believe the -7040 was the last of the vintage Grand Seikos. Not sure how many of these are about, but they don't come up for sale very often.
On the right, one from the modern range, although I'm not entirely certain which year this was released. It's the SBGT025, and was made in an edition of only 30 pieces, available exclusively from the Wako store in Ginza. As I have mentioned in an earlier post, very few modern Grand Seikos have Arabic numerals, with the majority being limited editions for Wako.
Kind regards,
Gerald.

Beautiful, beautiful!
Nice job again collecting these, Gerald.
I have wondered many times about the scarcity of Arabics on GS - strange, isn't it?
We have grabbed just two, the SBGW003, which I have often posted, and this:

Now that's a truly interesting pair :)
Have also been wondering at the absence of numerals in GSs. Quite how you find all of these gems...
