Those Grand Seikos are fabulous watches, a big rabbit hole but even their Zaratsu polishing tecnique for their case and lugs is an interesting read.... but they will never have the cachet of a Rolex to a non watch enthusiast.My brother collects these nice watches like they were guitars, lol. I think he said his most expensive is not a Rolex but a Patek Philippe. I mentioned the old $100 blue-face wristwatch I had stopped working even with a new battery, and he sent me a blue-face Grand Seiko he had. Nice watch! I set it correct to the second via NIST's "official U.S. Time" site several months ago. I just checked to see if it gained or lost any time. It was exactly on time! Of course, I rarely need to know what day it is, much less what exact time it is.
The Grand Seiko to the average person is no better than an Invicta, I'm just hoping to bump into one at a garage sale where the seller thinks the battery died! That's a watch I'd pass to my son....if I had one....(son that is).
