SOTC - first quarter 2016
Hi all,
Well March has almost passed, and since the number of pieces in my vintage Grand Seiko collection has reached a nice square number, I thought I'd share my progress to date.
The idea behind the collection is to get one of each distinct movement from the (men's) vintage collection. 8 down (I've doubled up on one of them so far!), 14 to go.
Lots more photos of all these watches on my Instagram feed - http://www.instagram.com/watchdxb
Kind regards,
Gerald.

Just the angle and lighting set-up
It is - but depending on the angle to the camera and how it's lit, the cut glass sometimes isn't so obvious. Here's that shot a little larger - Kind regards, Gerald. ...
all 'No-Date' watches are damn great...
the only 'Date' version i like is the one in the middle, the hi-beat square watch ? IMHO a leather would do more justice to the dial & case than the bracelet ?!
Agree totally
I just love Grand Seikos without dates, and I reckon the recently announced SBGD001 will only help to focus people's minds on this. Of the 22 vintage GS movements, only 3 are no-date (The 3180, 4420 and 4520). Of the modern watches, my favourite series is...
+1
SBGD001 is awesome jus' the price tag is hefty enough to keep me away ;-) Today I'll pick a SBGW031 from AD (an year ago i missed a SBGW033 in a bargain)...it looks great, no-date, just no blue seconds hand :-( the 1969 NOS you've has a wonderful dial... ...
