Today, I have come into the Grand Seiko fold. The deposit is down, and now I\'m letting go of a watch and getting myself organised for pick up in March. Watch this space!

Brilliant! :)

Will you keep it a surprise or will you share which reference you went for? Here\'s my SBGH035 saying hi ...  

I'm going to keep it a surprise! Plus I haven't seen it posted on here before.

Mine will be saying hi back soon! It\'s been a very exciting day for me, I\'m already looking forward to lengthy post about my new watch since I\'ve spent some time with it!

Great :)

Looking forward to seeing what you went for. Am confident that you\'ll enjoy the brand a lot - understated but so easily getting under your skin

Exactly

It got under my skin a while ago, it was just a matter of \'which one?\' And now the price/value ratio of my Swiss watches makes me cringe! In certain ways. We\'ll see how I go in the near future!

Inducing second thoughts about Swiss (and German!) watches . . .

. . . as a value proposition is precisely what Grand Seiko is about. Some folks, once having discovered their intrinsic value and innate beauty, continue along the same path, expanding their GS collections. Others (myself included) are satisfied with an e... 

Very interesting point of view/topic.

Since I've only been here for a bit more than 2 years I don't know if there has been real discussion about comparing the watches from the three countries. If there hasn't perhaps we should delve into it. PuristS is a perfect Forum for it-no ties to any br... 

Absolutely!

Would make for a great discussion thread

You are getting me poisoned! It\'s good that there is no grand seiko AD near where I live.

That should not be an impediment ;)

 
 By: KMII : January 7th, 2017-09:21
Regular visits to the Seiko section of PuristSPro will help for a start and we will happily recommend, where they can be sourced once you\'re ready

Good for you.....

Harry2. It will be a lengthy two months of wait for you and for us as well. I am looking forward to your posts. Best Regards Edward

Thanks mate!

 
 By: Harry2 : January 7th, 2017-01:36
I\'m really excited about it!

Congrats, Harry!

Welcome to the club! I'm sure you will enjoy your GS watch. Cazalea PS - a recently re-discovered photo of my first GS, dated Thurs, Dec 2, 2004. ...  

Nice!

How man GS do you have?

About a dozen, currently

 
 By: cazalea : January 8th, 2017-07:52
I guess I need to do a State of the Collection photo. Cazalea

Yes please! [nt]

Now that is a collection!

These are all great watches, but I have some favorites. The 44GS is a watch I really love (although I have never tried it one) but I suspect that if I was able to get my hands one one that would be the perfect dress watch for me at any price point. I find... 

These are the watches in the picture:
