intro
Thanks you very much for your help guys.
I didn't realise that this was my first post as I've been lurking around the site for a number of years.
As a better introduction, I'm a 35 year old brit living in Zurich.
I started buying watches with the usual suspects for a young guy, Tag Heuer and Omega.
I'm currently wearing a IWC Portuguese 7 day Auto, a Glashutte Navigator Chronograph and Breitling Superocean.
These are all in the 43-44mm range and although I'm a tall guy, I definitely want to move down to the 37-39mm range for some vintage pieces.
I'm currently lusting after a Longines 30CH or 13ZN, a Rolex 1675 GMT and a JLC Memovox but good vintage pieces in these models run from around $7k to $15 and I won't have that much available when I visit Japan.
So, it seems a perfect time to dip my toe into the Seiko ocean. The examples that you guys have posted look beautiful and I know this is the best opportunity to see a large number of vintage Seikos I'll have any time soon.
I look forward to posting more.

"vintage" is a relative term
Greetings and welcome to the Seiko forum (even if you've been lurking for ages). From what I can tell, the real success stories of Grand Seiko are kept in production for a long time - like 10-15 years or more. Some of the GS models I own were introduced i...
more options!
Well, now you've confused me in a good way! After going through the ton of info Ken kindly provided me with, I had settled for one of the 61GS hi-beat models (I love the VFA versions but they will be out of my price-range). I thought that models since the...
