I bought a Seiko!

I bought my first Grand Seiko, a brand new SBGV007, its beautiful. From the angles to the dial. The craftsmanship is amazing!

I had my reservations in buying a quartz movement, but after doing some research this feels like such a lovely purchase.

The GMT Master II is in it's box taking a little break while this gets some wrist time!

That's a winner! What a beautiful watch, so simple yet so well executed. I like that GS does the simple things perfectly and they aren't so ostentatious.

Very nice one of my favorites. No indicator and Seiko on the top with gs on the bottom, their best design IMHO.

Looks very much like my Seiko, but I am sure the GS is made from better materials, better movement, etc.

Congratulations. That was almost my first, too. The case is probably the best expression of Tanaka's grammar of design.
