Why Grand Seiko?
I am a new Seiko Diver collector. I love the durability and design of their classic divers such as the SKX007 and SRP777. These are in the $200-350 range, so whats the deal with the Grand Seikos which are much, much more?
PS I am sincerely asking because they have a good reputation (from what I can tell) on TRF. |

Read, read, and read some more — and not just on this forum — you'll either get it or you won't.

"grand seiko" is a different brand than "seiko".
why is your rolex, IWC and breitling "much, much more" than the SKX007 and SRP777? |

Because the attention to detail is second to none.
Here is a pic I just took of mine.

If you want to dip your toes into the Seiko pool without jumping in, look at the Seiko SARX033 and SARX035. I got the 035 from Seiya because I couldn't shell out almost ten times more for a similar looking GS. It is a tremendously well made watch and is gorgeous on the wrist. Seiko makes well designed and beautiful watches. I would really love to add a GS to my collection someday, but the last few ones didn't sing to me enough. They have to be seen with a loupe to appreciate their greatness .
