Spring Drive - 20 years & NISSAN GT-R - 50 years will be celebrated in a limited edition Grand Seiko: Both companies are singing the blues (Bayside Blue & GS Blue): A new creation in the Grand Seiko sport collection pays homage to an emblematic Japane...  

The design language seems to fit and just like the GT-R took a very different approach to performance so does Spring Drive. Was hoping for such a cooperation 😉 Btw. are the hands and stitching on the strap in Bayside Blue? 😁🔵

I guess it’s morning on the other side of the planet 🙂

And I am procrastinating on getting up 😂

And I love blue 😉

that ceramic/titanium combination with the screws appears a bit like a crude makeshift solution; certainly not state of the art, compared with the ceramic cases of the competitors. Marcus

The total effect is one of making the watch case bulkier. I guess they could use the titanium "core" and restyle the outer ceramics if they wanted to -- reminds me a bit of the complex case IWC brought out with the Da Vinci tonneau model. Here's the "cera...

which is why I am always amazed at how GS can consistently get chronographs so wrong. This one is no exception — truly awful.

Normal / small pushers, no GMT hand cluttering the dial, thinner case, clean design. I just wish it was titanium. Cazalea ...  

Anybody can share where to get this at the best price? The showroom in Singapore has closed i think... The last GS I got was from Japan.

Good luck - let us know
