A fan myself, always hanging watch shops lusting at GS every time I am in Tokyo.

Anyways, this is a good and reliable online site to get your GS(s).

My personal favourite.

Thats the spring drive grand seiko diver, your pic shows the titanium version, another version is the stainless steel one with white dial wordings instead of gold.

Here's a article and video on how the spring drive technology is implemented. Enjoy

Although very very well made watches and all the technology (eg. spring drive) behind em.

Personally, find it very hard psychologically to pay the asking for a Seiko. Not much discs to be had as well.

Double edge sword, since they make such excellent affordable watches. Hard to justify the premium for a GS.

Someone pls change my mind

Thats what 99% of the world's population thinks of seiko. The current main objective of the company is shift from a brand that can mass manufacture watches to a company that produce good quality, medium to high end watches with class leading technology.

Totally Agreed

This old GMt is my favourite. I like it much better than the current Spring Drive version.

I like the old GMT too. Does this comes in white dial too ?

[flamenco]

Yes it does, although it looks to me more cream than white.

With the Yen currently goin strong. Makes it harder to justify a GS.

Old GMT is cool. Any idea what is the servicing cost? Will local AD service the GS if purchase from overseas? thanks

[flamenco]

Dun think Thong Sai services GS. You can try asking JW, seen em sell GS on consignment. J

ohn may be able to service em down the road.
