Fantastic Caliber .. But
Oct 13, 2020,08:08 AM
Dual Impulse Escapement, 80 hour power reserve, Seiko’s own overcoil perfected after 80,000 iterations , a fantastic new design of balance wheel . Great stuff here.
But the dials are cold; and virtually the same type of hands in model-after-model , are just not anywhere close to the design language that collectors would look for beyond the engineering aspects.
While it has been pointed out that GrandSeiko is very similar to Rolex in terms of their offerings, mostly limited to time only or GMT and date models, nevertheless seeing hundreds of these near similar unimaginative offerings would hardly stir any passion amongst watch afficionados.
Even a small variation such as a Large Date or a Day-date combo in GS would bring in the much needed break in monotony.
