My budding vintage GS collection
Recently stumbled upon the Grand Seiko guy’s wonderful website/substack and the Seiko guy’s complete guide to vintage GS webpage and have completely gone head first into this little area of the watch world. Had I found this stuff out during the pandemic I’m sure I’d own 20 by now as they’re so interesting to learn about and cheap enough to genuinely collect (Journe for me fulfills only the former unfortunately).
Frankly it’s unbelievable these 3 cost under 5k altogether and I happened to sell 2 Kurono Reiwa at the same time for the same price which must be the trade of the century. Altogether I bought 5 in December with two awaiting delivery. Let’s see what the rest of 2023 brings! Main target - a great 44gs!
