Thank you!
Thanks for the insight, background and the story of your journey with GS. I have always been an admirer of the brand from a small distance. I don't one a GS but really love their movement technology and finishing. As you mentioned in your review, there are so many models now and different limited editions, it gets a bit overwhelming at times. I need to spend more time with the brand.... Thanks for the write-up!
As asked for by the Captain - an abridged story of how I got into GS
In a thread recently (here it is) - where I posted my original grail Grand Seiko, the SBGH035, Captain Scarlet mentioned it would be quite helpful if I expounded on how I started appreciating GS and what got me down that particular rabbit hole. So with a...
Awesome Post 👍 I remember when you got the SBGH035
That was and still is a very Important Grand Seiko, was not an average GS High Beat but a Special with a highly accurate mechanical movement and high level finishing. The only thing better would be a reissue of the VFA. ...
Lovely to have a picture of yours added 😊👍🏻
And thanks for being a very important part of the journey for me - much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My Pleasure Sir 🙏 that is what makes WPS such an amazing community
We help and support each other in our journeys
Very much so!
Lots of support received over the years 😊👍🏻🙏🏻 Btw. do you still have yours?
Great post!
As important as the piece itself, is the story of the decision and the hunt. Ok, maybe not as important, but important and very enjoyable!
Great post!
Thanks for sharing this story that inspire and remind us as you very eloquently put, why we chase these trinkets that make our lives a bit more colorful.
Glad if you enjoyed it 😊
I cannot overstate the importance of helpful members here - that also allows to differentiate marketing (and most outlets are fully complicit) from a perhaps somewhat colder reality and make any endeavors more informed - if the passion is there knowing mo...

That is indeed the place to start…
There is at least one official book that might help, too (Grand Seiko: Japanese Craftsmanship (IIRC)). And hundreds of articles here 😉
Thanks a lot - gladly did it 👍🏻
Captain Scarlet definitely had a good nose for the topic 😁👍🏻
Nice recap - but could you give us more details? Why abbreviate :-)
You used the Master Spreadsheet of Grand Seikos which you referenced early in your GS journey, I noticed by reviewing some old files. MASTER SPREADSHEET It’s woefully out of date but if anyone has a few hundred hours and wants to bring it into the current...
Ooof 😱
The prospect is at the same enticing and daunting - and first and foremost I want to thank you for even suggesting it 😊 I have indeed used it as I remembered yesterday when looking for posts about my GS journey. Would need to sleep on it 😊
I can provide access via Google Sheets to anyone competent enough to work on a spreadsheet
and not blow it up 🫨. Or is there a database guru who can suggest a better way that would remain easily accessible? I think the main subsections speak for themselves and it’s just a matter of adding extra years, models, colors, production if you find it o...
Let me see what my computer is up to these days 😊
Been a while since I used the particular machine so need to get the cobwebs off first 😉🕸️
Now Mike already found an answer to this…
