History Of The Seiko Grand.
IMO these watches are built, and as accurate as the best out there.The only thing they lack is the image,a bit like Lexus ver Mercedes.But I have been looking for a early 60s model at the right price to add to my collection.The 430 Grand Seiko,is the one I am looking for,beautiful movement and very accurate 1-3secs a day easily acheavable.And in the early 60s there were only two companies, who could sell watches, passed astronomical observatory authorization Chronometer in those days. ---Seiko and Giraud Peregaux.

Very classic looking. I especially like the day/date versions (but perhaps that's just my affinity for complications :-) ). They don't seem to be terribly expensive in the "previously worn" market.

Well JJ in the 60s Seiko entered a competition,with watches from all over the world.Including most of the Swiss high end brands.For a much higher standard than the COSC,the Astronomical Observatory Authorisation Chronometer Standard.Out of many watches summited only two passed this
test Seiko Grand just a production model, and Giraud Peregaux a specially build for the test model.
