Great
Many thanks for a great article. I to am a 'Seikoholic'. At the present l have 3 Seikos - 2 Kinetic and a new Black Baby Tuna automatic. My grail is any GS!!
Best wishes, John.
Wonderful meeting you in Tokyo this time!
It was really a blast, starting from the souvenir you guys brought to me, which tuned out to be left in the trunk of the taxi you took from Tokyo station 
) People, believe or not, I call the taxi company who contacted the driver who then checked the trunk and the taxi company called me back saying that they would ship it to me the following day. To me, that is of course normal standard of customer business. But is it not so in other countries? )

I will surely visit Paris in the near future to meet with your SEIKO nuts pals!
Thanks again, Gilbert. So nice catching up with you!
Best,

Amazing experience
This experience is quite relevant to understand how this country is so different.
We have been very impressed by 'normal standard' of japanese service.
Just stunning to my eyes ...
This country is really incredible.
Thanks again Ken for making this possible.
I'm waiting for you in Paris ;-)

Hello GNKT
what a beautiful watch you have brought back with you ! Is the correct number sbgr 00M ? and an edition only sold in the factory ? Shame as i probably will never get there...
I see on the seiko website a similair version, sbgr 261 with ivory dial and new logo. I believe the sbgr 061 was the previous version with `old` dial. Would you say it is similair to yours , but not as nicely finished or does yours have a better movement quality ?
I think this could be the version i like best as long as it has the same quality dial, and if its on sale in Europe as well also obtainable for me. Thanks for your time and here is the link to the grand seiko site :
member Gargamel posted earlier on the sbgr 061 which is also beautiful.
Hello Ron
SBGR00M and SBGR061 are identical, except on one point.
The only difference is the golden rotor.
SBGR00M is available only at SII, Morioka.
SBGR261 has the new dial, whith the new GS logo.
I prefer the old dial, which was perfectly balanced IMHO.
The difference concerning finishing level is just a matter of photo quality.
The caliber is also identical.
Thanks !
i understand and thanks for explaining and the picture. I agree with the better dial lay out of the SBGR061. No lets see if i can find one in EU.
