Yes..that is fast!
The live photos are quick. Even quicker is the Grand Seiko Hi Beat Blue watch that my watch buddy in Singapore would love. I must tell him as it has all the features he was wishing for last week. Now they appear on a watch. Regards MTF

Thanks for your extensive report Ken!
Accompanied by great pictures, as always The only thing I am slightly sad about is that the VFA comes in platinum only. But the development is definitely in the right direction overall. Let’s see if another GS is on the cards this year...
Yeah, I know.... Let us wait for the day..
.. when Grand Seiko VFA comes back with SS case AND manual winding super caliber! They can do it!
