Your massive collection post kinda inspired me. Your collection is very impressive.
I will go next for SBGW series. Hopefully 003, but may be 005 (because of the blue second hand) and convert it to strap again.
2010 is the 50th anniversary of GS brand and I expect more special LE come out from Seiko and various Master Shops LE and if there is any manual winding with see through back, I will get one. Stay tuned for the announcement from Seiko as well as Master Shops. If you are interested and need help, I would be more than happy to assist you or any regular here to get one (if you can also trust me, I mean 
)- I will probably be stationed in Tokyo by the middle of this year.
Why Seiko doesn't sell Grand Seiko more globally is beyond me. Maybe lack of capacity? Seiko is a big company and makes tons of watches every year, but for Grand Seiko, from what I gather, there are much manual touch by a handful of watchmakers...

I've handled and tried them on before, these Grand Seiko's, and I've been thoroughly impressed with the finishing and quality which I regard to be better than many other higher priced brands out there. Congratulations on this very beautiful piece, and the...

Nice watch. Every time I go to visit Japan, I am always on the hunt for Grand Seikos, Seiko Spring Drives, Credor, and those other "Japanese Domestic Market" watches. I never seem to be able to find them; it's easier for me to acquire a Lange than it is t...
Sweet!

Congrats! This is a good-looking timepiece! I really wish Seiko would sell them in America. I love my Seiko 5, and would seriously consider a Grand Seiko if they retailed in the US. Cheers, Daos
Pretty!

...I too have the silver dialled GMT, which I like very much apart from one aspect: the multiplicity of different fonts in the (somewhat unnecessary) writing on the dial. However, looking at your black dialled more sporty model it looks as though the word...
