Seiko

A truly superb piece

I like the direction they have been going recently, with more of the PRs hidden at the back (where they belong IMHO), somewhat thinner watches, exciting new movements...


Nice shots!

More of what we have been asking for from GS. Thanks Mike

I agree Mike and I know you are a HUGE Grand Seiko fan. Thank you. [nt]

I think your SBGY002 onlong with the SBGY003 and the amazing SBGZ001 are all absolutely stunning - I WILL have one in my collection at some point . GS at its best :) [nt]

My KS44 will have to do until then : ...  

And you absolutely should! [nt]

And thank you! [nt]

Just saw your photo. What a lovely watch! [nt]

Very beautiful watch

..especially the second picture is nicely captured

Thank you sir. Just an iPhone pic. Not really very good. [nt]

The warmth (if thats a word in english) of this picture does justice to this watch [nt]

 
 By: @lberti : November 9th, 2020-10:57

It is indeed a word! And I understand what you mean. Thanks. [nt]

Bid congrats! Manual spring drive, no date, classic case and dial! WOW.

Any picture of the back?

Here's the 9R31 movement in Ed's watch

 
 By: cazalea : November 9th, 2020-10:25
And the patented system that uses excess mainspring energy to magically rewind itself and thus extend the running time. Cazalea ...  

Thanks! What an amazing movement! [nt]

The torque return system is only used in the 9R02 and not the 9R31 which is the movement in my watch. The two platinum watches use the higher end movement. [nt]

Oops, sorry I misread the GS page [nt]

 
 By: cazalea : November 9th, 2020-14:59

Thanks very much. I see Cazaela posted the movement. [nt]

 
 By: edtonkin : November 9th, 2020-10:46

Yes, I real feast for the eye! [nt]

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2020-11:54

This is what I think of as Japanese understatement...

...luxury without the flashiness. Beauty.

Thank you and I agree! [nt]

 
 By: edtonkin : November 9th, 2020-10:45

GS dials and finishing are second to none!

Enjoy and thx for sharing! -D-

One of the best Grand Seiko . [nt]

 
 By: Watchlover78 : November 9th, 2020-18:36

My word! That is utterly fantastic! Thanks for sharing that beauty! [nt]

I second this, it’s a direction I really appreciate too and will most likely end in me taking the plunge on a modern GS. [nt]

One of the finest iterations of Grand Seiko's work with dials. See how nice it looks without that power reserve indicator? [nt]

 
 By: Rosneathian : November 10th, 2020-19:06

Elegant! I prefer the PR on the back [nt]
