ROLL CALL: All GS owners, please line up and declare your loyalty (and your collection)
Ron asked that we have a roll call. As your Moderator, I am happy to go first. Being one of the first GS owners in the US (I think) it's worth raising my hand.
Please join in by replying in this thread. I will keep a running tally in this introductory post, as the numbers come in. We can do a separate thread if necessary for Credor/Galante which are at the same general level as GS.
If you feel comfortable, you may share your city/country as you wish, the GSs in your collection, when you got interested AND when you purchased the first one. All assuming you can remember!
READY?
Let's Go!
California, USA
Currently have 11 GSs

Bought my first December 2004 (15 years next week)

Only one modern GS which is a reissue, but many vintage.
I am eager to buy a modern piece, preferably a Spring Drive, but am patiently waiting for something which appeals to me (smaller size, thinner cases, more angles!). Hereās the only modern GS, a reissue and more vintage in terms of sizing. ...

From Canada got interested in Grand Seiko 2003 but since not available in Canada had not bought one. Started my first watch in 2018 and then quickly immerse into it. Superb craftsmanship . Tony

Thanks Fred
I can't speak to how Seiko does the dial or hands, just that they are marvelous. Mike ...
