Dear all,

I have had my Grand Seiko for close to three months now and have enjoyed it thoroughly ... There is nothing quite like it in the Sub 10K range ... In my opinion, it competes directly with JLC, Rolex & GO with respect to its size, comfort, finishing, dial and demeanor.

I recall having to search through many many threads to dig up some real life photographs of Grand Seikos before pulling the trigger ..

Given the growing interest in Grand Seikos, I would urge everyone to share photographs of their GS for fellow Seiko enthusiasts and new buyers..

Cheers

nishant

I would begin the thread with my SBGE001 .. a treasured possession !

The SBGE001 is one of my favorite. I recently had a get together with a good friend who is a Swiss Watch collector, but doesn't know much about high-end Japanese watches. He saw my SBGE001 and said, boy, that Seiko sure does look expensive...

I just purchased another GS today. Will snap some pics and post them next week.

Here are a few pictures of my current line up.

sriswit, that Snowflake would have to be my grail dress watch, that's if anyone would ever let me into any of those fancy enough places to wear one. ;-)

BTW when the Seiko Boutique in Toronto was closing back in Autumn, the SBGE001 was discounted to around $3300CAD I'm not joking.
Are you [bleeping] serious?

The Seiko Boutique was still listed on the Seiko Ananta site after the store closed.

I went there to check out Ananta's and it was closed, if I was there a month or so earlier I would have bought something on the spot at prices like that.

Trust me my jaw dropped when I saw the $3000 discount lol! It was back in late August I think. I wanted the Hi Beat 36k Auto but they said they never carried it.

Your only local solution now is that watch store at First Markham Place (same as the one at Pacific Mall but the owners attend the 1st Markham store). They have Ananta models on display. The owner told me she can get Grand Seiko from the distributor with 30% discount. Ask nicely and she'll do it (helps if you're Asian lol). :D

Thanks, this is very helpful.

I'm no longer interested in Anantas, I now lust for a Grand Seiko, specifically the Snowflake. I'll still make a trip to see if they have Spring Drive Anantas, I'd love to see the movement.

Lol, I can't speak Cantonese but can understand a bit. If anything I'll give my dad the monies and send him when I'm ready to buy a Grand Seiko.

My SBGR051, as shown on my wrist today at work:

[img of SBRG051]
krayzie, bhall41, and anyone else who owns or has tried on the SBGR051/053: I'm trying to decide on a Grand Seiko, and I'm starting to lean in the direction of the SBGR051/053 (automatic, without crown guards). Seiya has these listed at 35mm in case diameter. Is this accurate? This seems awfully small, although I suppose it's only a millimeter narrower than the Datejust.

bhall41, the watch does not look at all small on your wrist. May I ask your wrist measurement? How does the watch wear?

Also, to all Grand Seiko owners, which of the models do and do not have microadjusting clasps?

Ok under extreme pressure from my exhibitionist nature here are my two grand seiko watches.
the first watch is a gold 6146-8000 which I have owned since new over forty two years. The second came from Korea and is a 4522-7010 manual wind which I am wearing as I type.

Great pics everybody. It's good to see that GS appreciation is growing.

Here's mine, a SBGH001 Hi-Beat (currently being repaired under warranty :-():









It will be a great day when I get it back!

And this is my King Seiko 45-7000. A bit of cheating, becasue it's not a GS, but KS is just as sweet IMO. And as you can tell I LOVE Hi-Beat!
