Seiko

All thanks to the help of a fellow purists gentleman based in Japan I can't resist not having this grand seiko in my collection, especially when everyone is having one. This is a perfect companion to my Eichi 2 ...  

Congratulations - it looks superb! Kind regards, Gerald.

It's just a matter of one's preference to the size for this piece. The new one even has blue steeled second hand and a few thousand below $10k, probably a much better proposition.

... is that (on the steel one at least), it is missing the Chronometer text and the Suwa factory logo on the dial. As a collector of vintage GS, the new steel dials look very empty without this as I'm so used to the originals. This one is in steel, yes? K...

... and every one of them is unique! Kind regards, Gerald.

If you are collecting all the varied 3180, it will make sense to keep this SS version in your collection.

Hi - It's basically down to money. I don't have unlimited resources, and now that I have a great filled gold print example, I don't feel the need to hang onto the SS. I'd rather have that money to put into other watches for the collection. After two years... 

a pity to let go such a rare watch in a collection. I think the 'dubious' and mysterious nature of such watch is worthy in your big collection. Monetary wise, I don't see how this will cause any dent in your pocket. Nevertheless, I hope your watch will go... 

Congratulations, my friend. Ken

It's hard to take it out from my wrist. It's amazing

Look so good on you. I've never seen this in real but I can feel the purest beauty from the picture. Enjoy the weekend.

Hope one day we can take wrist photo of our eichi 2 together
