New, but Old GS.....
A bit rare pieces got into my hand, luckily... One belongs to a good friend of mine. Another is for myself..... Had them both serviced and regulated by the God 1. 56GS --- a gentleman's property. TV Shape is not something you see often.... Just lightly po...
The trifecta thread! . . .
. . . uncommon vintage GS, both touched by the hand of The Master . . . . . . and bound by friendship. What more can anyone say? :-) ...
domes are very cool
Both are very nice designs, but the FIRST ss GS is amazing! I really love that domed crystal shape on top of the very simple sunburst dial.
I like that too, but the tonneau shape is more appealing to me
Same sort of shape and era but very different price point and technology! Cazalea ...
Grand Seiko Tonneau TV case watch
Grand Seiko Ref: 5645-5010 is simple gorgeous and rare. The dial is unique, as is the case shape and superb timekeeping. How many did they make of this model? Of course, I may have to commission you to look for weird Grand Seiko like this for me in Japan....
I really don't see this in the market, perhaps one per few year....
.. so, I guess they made 1000 or less only.... Hope to see other colors, if available, too.... Thanks, MTF! You are welcome to go for used watch shopping in Tokyo anytime! Ken
Ken why am I disturbed by vintage GS with excellent rates versus..
Modern Swiss or Japanese watches?
It's really commercial thing...
.. I think all the modern Swiss or Japanese watch of certain level CAN be adjusted to this high level. But it takes time and skill. Commercially, it may not make sense to do that on each one. But I agree, if the watch (a simple three hands watch) cost 10s...
Sure he can.
Many of his modern GS have been adjusted/ regulated by him and it is REALLY, REALLY accurate in ANY position. But he touches ONLY SEIKO (vintage or modern) watches as he doesn't want to touch what he doesn't know. Vintage SEIKO are full of surprises, he s...
Any GS or rather any mechanical SEIKO, modern or vintage.
... although the limit is there depending on how well the movement is designed, i.e. cheap movements can be adjusted to so-so level. Ken
I have forgotten if there are current GS VFA. If so what is the difference..
In regulation between those two assuming both are adjusted by the "god"?
Unfortunately that is what I thought. Seiko needs to make a..
High beat VFA GS I can afford.
Congrats, Ken!
Both are rare model, especially the first GS in SS. And the accuracy is fantastic for a 1960s piece. Do you know the service history? My SBGW033 says hi! :D Best regards, Indera ...
Well, just serviced by Mr. Ohira...
... a.k.a. the God of adjustment at SEIKO, who has been traveling around the world to teach the regional customer service center watchmakers these days :-) Ken
That explains the timegrapher reading!
Serviced by the God of Adjustment himself, couldn't get any better. :D Regards, Indera
No other brands in my collection shows on...
.. timegrapher like this, quite honestly. Accuracy is NOT everything, but at least in that department and classic design of those two make them stand out, as more than 40 years old watches. Ken
