That's a beautiful watch.
Thanks for these excellent pictures. There isn't so much information around on this one. I have been making a few enquiries as I would like to add this one in the future. Yes, the movement finishing is a step up from GS. I have a manual wind GS and a Spring Drive. But to have both in this beautiful, almost playfully elegant juxtaposition would be wonderful.
Any owners of the Credor ref. GCLP993
While I would love to have an Eichi II, I just currently can't justify the expense. I did find this model GCLP993 though which uses a different (less decorated but still nicely finished) manual-wind Spring Drive movement, the cal. 7R87 and can be had for ...
I agree, the movement is beautiful to look at.
Still not 100% convinced on Spring Drive longevity though as it's got a quartz component.

Eventually, the circuit or quartz component will fail
whether they will be able to be serviced or find parts for in the future will be the question. With purely mechanical movements a "good watchmaker" should be able to fabricate parts. With plastic electronic or circuit board pieces can the same be said? Do...
I an offer a link to an article I wrote on manual wind Spring Drives
It’s here: Feel free to skip over the wordy part; looking back I see I was rambling a bit. The last half of the article shows some other variants to the Watch you’ve found. Cheers, Cazalea ...
Thanks for the link.
I like the really clean and simple dials. This model is probably as close to the Eichi II that Seiko makes at the moment.
I'm not going to spend $52,500 on a watch any time soon.
So this alternative with an MSRP of $7,500 might tick all the boxes I need at a fraction of the price.
Love at first sight
The combination of Credor - SpringDrive - Big Date - hand wound made this an easy pick for me. Size of the case, the classy look and refined case with this enamel look alike dial sealed the deal. Outstanding are the hand tips and I dare to say that the br...

Wow, thank you for the detailed owner experience and the great photos!
These real-world pics really show the true beauty of the watch.
