"So this is what the fuss is all about"

I enjoyed your story, welcome to the club. I had the same feelings. I'd been into watches for about 3-4 years, and gone through IWC, Sinn, Glashutte, Zenith, etc.
Finally I thought I was settling down with Omega, BlancpaiN and one independent from Paul Gerber (OK, and I had a half-dozen moderately-nice Seikos).
Then in November of 2004 this watch came into my life.
It was the genesis of a whole new way of appreciating watches - including studying so I could open, adjust and repair watches. A few weeks later I added this "white titanium" automatic. Countless watches and 17 years later I still have both of them.
I could not have imagined that soon I would be going to Switzerland for two weeks on a watch junket, then to Japan to visit Seiko and Grand Seiko, becoming a moderator here, and so on.
Enjoy your new Grand Seiko! And be careful...
