I have a question about Grand Seiko craftsmanship?

Since I acquired the GS SBGA201 Spring Drive for only a week only, I cannot stop admiring its finishing both inside and out. I would welcome any comments and ideas from watch enthusiasts and collectors in our forums say about the Grand Seiko finishing? What Swiss watch' brands can members here can think of that have the same finishing around the same price range.

I am still learning about watch collecting, Grand Seiko does provide me with the impression that very good finishing does not need to be very expensive.

Thanks in advance!

I felt the same way when I bought my first GS, and still get that feeling whenever I obtain another one. You can search back for some of my articles on Grand Seiko, especially my trip to Japan to visit the factories, and see the environment and people. Th...

Thanks for the input and advice

Plus another point. Try not to go looking at similarly priced Swiss watches with your Grand Seiko on your wrist. Frustrating experience, since you may well feel somewhat short changed by the others in the same price range. Not saying it's the case for all...

That is a good advice, thank you

Grand Seiko changed my perception of watches

And value for money. My contribution would be to suggest you go on YouTube if you haven’t already and watch all the videos you can find about the Grand Seiko manufacture. Enjoy! Mine says hello. Look at that case! Dial! AND THOSE HANDS! ...

They are not value for money, they are expensive ;) sheesh we need to join together and keep this expensive myth going for fear of prices rising :D :D lol [nt]

Oh yes!

Indeed, unreasonable! Highway robbery!

No other brand in general has the same build quality for price value, but I will never admit this to GS spokepeople and will keep saying their watches are too expensive or else the price

will rise :O :O Grand Seiko do an amazing job and if I had my GS earlier vs some of my Omegas you can bet there would be a lot less Omegas in the stable and more GS, possibly a Credor among them but there is always time
