Gorgeous Grand Seiko...
Does it look familiar or somewhat inspired by something else?
BTW, you can order this from a gray dealer in Japan for about US$2500. ![]() |

Well JJ, for US$2000 less than what an ExpII costs... I'd say 100% YES!

I don't think I'd ditch my ExpII for this GS... but if I didn't have the ExpII, the GS offers a watch of equal quality, accuracy and robustness at a much better price-point. Therefore, I'd go for it, if I didn't have the ExpII. |

![]() You watch... Seiko will take on the 'western' market with mechanical watches and give the Swiss a good shake-up, like they did with the quartz invasion. |

Why not just buy one straight from a dealer? Like I said, US$2500 from a reasonably well known dealer in Japan. ![]() |

Thanks Daren.
![]() I'm high on life, my friend. But once you've been around watches long enough, you'll realize Rolex is the most recognized brand and the do make a tough mofo watch.... but there's plenty others that produce as good or better watches for a whole lot less (and a whooooole lot more, too). |

I think it's a beautiful watch and would consider it if I was in the market for a GMT.

At last we have members who see with there eyes and not whats
written on the dial.Rolex make very fine watches,and they are my favourite brand,but I have now broadened my taste now, to most brands whether Swiss,English, Italian, German, or Japanese.
