It's inCredorble!!!!

Howdy fellow Seiko Purists....


a few years ago before Covid, I was attending a watch fair, and Grand Seiko specially flew in a Credor Eichi. I was really tempted to buy it, and some of my fellow collectors talk me out of it, oft quoting its price and how the money could be used to buy a "blue chip" brand. When i came round to my senses, it slipped thru my hands into the wrist of a undoubtedly wiser collector.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I happen to be attending a similar fair, and I reached out to the previous sales guy who showed me the Credor few years back. He said he has left Grand Seiko a few months back, and didn't think there would be one. Nevertheless, I decided to just try my luck, and i got second time lucky, and this time round, I make sure to ruin any chances of another wiser collector coming forth.

More of this incredible piece later, let me just enjoy it on the wrist awhile more before I go academic about it

Best,

Horo

...it's a beautiful watch and one I'd have in my collection if I had the resources. Second, at current exchange rates with the USD, it is a bargain. The Yen is very weak right now...

On the FX issue

Sadly, I am from Singapore, and not paying with USD. FX aside, which is at best a bonus if in my favour, i would have gladly bouhht it anyway. My point of regret is not buying it a few years ago, not to mention at a lower price tag!! Best, Horo

Much appreciated

Love these credor gems

I have to say I’m really surprised that you did not already experience this one at some point in your collection.

Congrats on the acquisition. Given your knowledge and hands (wrists) on experience with some really fantastic watches I’m eager to hear how this one rates after a few months of ownership. Congrats again.

Congratulations!

It's a wonderful piece - I had the opportunity to see them being made and it's truly a work of handcraft combined with technology, as only the Japanese can do. Wear it in good health. Mike
