Thanks to my buddy Thanh Do AKATAKUYA I have this lovely GS to enjoy today.

This is one I ordered quickly after it’s announcement as I love the dial and overall size.

Initial thoughts are that the dial and hands are amazing as expected. Bracelet is mediocre and endlinks are not as snug on GS as say a Rolex or Tudor.

Movement looks very good for the price point and I love the blue rotor. I’m still warming up to spring drive so the high beat is perfect for me.

Overall hard to beat this level of finishing in a swimproof case for this price.

Have a good week!

Looks great! Bracelets are always the weak points for GS.

Fair enough it’s def out of my wheelhouse. The price makes it an accessible gamble. This is going to sound pathetic but I think having a land cruiser on order I’m in full on Japan mode

Yeah I hit Thanh up awhile back and when one showed up he was of course a man of his word and took care of me.

I imagine he will be able to get a few of these so if anyone wants one I recommend getting ahold of him.

There are a lot of options when it comes to TRF sellers but Thanh has good stock and more importantly still handles customers one on one which goes a long way.

mailman · 5 April 2018, 07:18 AM

That's a sweet watch Tom. Congratulations and enjoy

Enjoy the sunshine and pool wherever you are too

Likely 10 bar/100m.

incontrol · 5 April 2018, 09:24 AM

My guess it is 200m wr. Just a guess but my GS GMT is rated that.

Let’s see what Tom says.

Because Seiko decided this year, to not hang about by showing things that would all only be a reality later in the year.
