Not a watch,

But like Peter I bought parts.I got the AR Sapphire Crystal,MOD Dial and Sword hands.This was an international order that was promptly filled and Bill Yao personally followed up with an Email to see if everything was good.



BTW.

My watchmaker was very impressed with the quality.Through my experience I couldn't think of a better person to deal with.

Agree, they are quality.
Not to start something here, but I seriously believe that some of those Grand seiko are better than our rolexes.

Yes would agree been looking for a late 60s or 70s one for years.

Check out the regulator adjuster on this one! And check the shock protection on the non-balance jewels. That's real quality!and there own movement test, to a much higher spec than the Swiss COSC
