Another variant of issue along similar lines ….

I also noticed another issue linked to the chronograph function on an older blue dial Tentagraph at a local AD. Not sure if GS has addressed it in later releases. Basically; while doing continuous start/stop (without resetting) action on chrono, I noticed

Grand Seiko Tentagraph - Caveat emptor

I thought you guys would want to be aware of an annoying issue with the 9SC5 caliber, just in case any of you are considering a Grand Seiko Tentagraph as a year-end holiday gift for yourself. When I inquired with GS, they formally advised me that they nei

Yes the faceted lugs are somehow reminiscent of the new Tentagraph,

After an unsuccessful trip to the Seiko Boutique… had to peruse own collection again, the SPB069 today 🇯🇵

Wanting to take a look at the new Bamford fettled Time Sonar re-edition by Seiko (as posted by India Whisky Charlie the other day) and having found myself close to a Seiko Boutique, the course of action was predictable. The result was sadly unsatisfactory

NW[GS]A … the “Tokyo Lion” Tentagraph (Another unusual specimen)

I had my fair share of misgivings about this most unconventional of GSs when I first saw press photos of it a few months ago (as I suspect did a good many others), but once lured into its danger-laden lair (that would be the nearby AD, with full GS select

I vote for either Lake Suwa or the Tentagraph

Leaning towards Lake Suwa. Wonderful piece imo. Tentagraph is also great. Funny when I opened the post I saw the watch I’m giving my son as part of his graduation present from college. The gmt sbgm221. Looking forward to hearing about your decision! Happy

If you just have to get a new GS before the year ends ...

Here are the watches recommended by the GS Boutique (and presumably in stock, at least in the US). The details are listed beneath each watch, for convenient ordering 😉 I think this Tentagraph Chrono is calling my name... does anyone here have one?? Cheers

Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive and quartz watches are manufactured by Epson, not Seiko

This seems to be commonly misunderstood, but Spring Drive and quartz Grand Seiko watches are made by Epson and not Seiko. Many people think that Epson is a subsidiary of Seiko but this is not accurate as Epson has been a publicly traded company that is no

Interesting release!

The base movement is an exceptional one, so really the 9SC5 is quite a bit further along compared the Audemars Piguet Cal 3124/3841 that powered the circa 2010 Royal Oak Offshores. The top end of the market is asking for integrated chronographs, because w
