It's really a GS week.... Mind boggling
Hello everybody,
Just wanted to share my excitement with you... Although already a very happy owner of a SBGW047 (which will soon adorn my brother's wrist!) and a SBGV011, I couldn't help myself from pulling the trigger for the set, especially as a dealer here in HK could get his hands on one. Picked it up yesterday and still speechless by this solemn beauty...
Talking about all the trimmings... I assume that's a new pinnacle for (Grand) Seiko! Seems like they kept from each historical collection the same 2 last digits of the last hundred produced, i.e. Mine all end with 72. Nice touch and they must have thought of this commemorative set for some time to keep the 55 respective watches back!
Best regards and a good weekend

Wow, wow, hey... Grand Seiko 55th Anniversary Set!
I can't say enough "Congrats!" to you and honestly and sincerely hats off to you, sir! Please share more pics! Wonderful set, indeed.... Great set, must be rare, I am sure. Never seen one in Japan.... Great catch! Ken
Wow and wow! What a surprise!
Congratulations! I've never heard or seen of this set. What a great collection, and what courage to grab them. Cheers, Cazalea
Many thanks
it is indeed interesting that very little is known about this set! Having said that, living close to China one is constantly running a risk of picking up counterfeit goods ;o) I realised that the photo quality is rather poor, I'll try to upload some more ...
can't wait to see these beauties!
can't wait to see these beauties at our next watch session ! many congrats -- Seeks
of course not! this warrants..
of course not! this warrants a dedicated session after hours! :)
More photos
thanks to Seeks' skills some more photos... But still a challenge to capture objects which sparkle all over and play with the slightest variation of angles and light! ...
Thank you very much for this additional pictures
Now it's even more painful to look at your post :) Best Damjan
Don't want to rub it in
but i managed some decent close ups of the 62GS, as it's the youngest kid on the block. The level of finishing is astonishing, the hour markers the true highlight on the dial for me! The thickness of the watch surprises me everytime, adding to the wrist p...
Finish...
is truly astonishing...lovely caseback and beautiful hour markers...please continue rubbing it in :) Sincerely D
Go ahead, rub
there's nothing like the fun you can have taking photos of GSs. It's hard to get an overdose, and I've tried! Cheers Cazalea (old post - GAGGLE of GSs )
Capitulation
Have had my eye on 62gs for ages ... You may have just through me over the edge!
Buy it if you can get your hands on one...
Good luck! Even within the GS universe a true gem.
Grand Seiko 55th Anniversary Set!
Gongratulations Ambos! I would expect to find such a set but impossible to order it through the European GS ADs as soon I collect the CutSheet of the Set in July from JP. Very lucky you are but we share a bit with you thanks your pictures. Best
Wow!
Congratulations to you. This set IMO is easily the nicest watch set that any watch company has ever come out with. Love the Historical Collection. Recently, I have been fortunate enough to find a Self-Dater with the black dial and a 62GS, not an easy task...
Seiko cannot be trusted...
Congratulations on your successful treasure hunt! You managed to find 2 fantastic timepieces... I am convinced they will provide you lots of satisfaction and increased pleasure and interest in GS. The Self-Dater was my first GS and since then things happe...
And they are contagious
Within 2months 3 of my colleagues pulled the trigger as well... Might be the highest concentration of Self-Daters on one floor ;o) Interestingly, our local colleagues picked the silver dials, the Caucasians opted for the dark dial. ...
What an excellent purchase!
That is such a great set mate, truly something to be proud of! The 44gs is my personal favourite. Congratulations!
