    Beautiful watch, congratulations. I've had the pleasure of trying these on and they are truly fantastic. I think i prefer your GMT to the version with the ceramic bezel. I must admit i do have a soft spot for Grand Seiko! Here's mine.

    A very good choice indeed. That particular GMT is very popular around here. Dare I ask, is it from the little shop on Rue Bonaparte? :)


    Cheers

    Now that is just one of the nicest looking watches around imo. 8) 8)

    Wow :drunken:. Echoes of one of my grails, a Speedmaster Broadarrow GMT (without the sub-dials, naturally).

    You mind me asking how much it set you back?

    Don't usually like Seiko's that aren't divers but that one does look rather nice indeed :)

    GS are the most honest offerings at their range. Enjoy. :wink: :binky:

    That is a seriously 8) watch. I am wanting a GMT watch and that has just made the list, possibly quite close to the top. Thanks for sharing :)

    Re: My new Seiko

    Fantastic watch. Looks to be better quality than any other offerings in that price bracket.

    Great watch, congrats! Here's another GS GMT:

    Nope. I first called them, but the production of this model has been stopped last year.
    The only way to have a brand new one is now Seiya or Higuchi

    Mine has been bought last year by a french guy who got it from Higuchi.

    It was also one of my grail, so does the SD GMT...but 43mm is way too big for my froggy wrist :D
    I pay £2400 for it.
    Quality is, without a doubt, way better than any Swiss watch of the same price range.
