also, the process of producing a gs watch is anywhere from 60% to 80% hand made. not too sure how many swiss companies with watches 2 to 3 times the price of a gs can make the same claim.

I own Patek Philippe 5711/1R and Rolex GMT II "EverRose" both holy grail solid gold watches, and yet I wear my Grand Seiko "White Birch" more often than both because it's just as nice and yet doesn't get too much unwanted attention and more importantly, I know I'm wearing a watch of equal quality and yet at a fraction of the price .. they are way undervalued.

One of the main reason i bought a GS instead of Rolex, you can wear GS everywhere and the only few that compliment your watch are GS connoisseurs.

The rice paper is there so you can lift the box elegantly. That was a very non-Japanese presentation. :) Liked this video, even though it felt like I was watching a game of "follow the queen" on a market square some of the time. Maybe that's why I liked it: The casual shuffling around of many thousands of dollars of GSes across that table. :) But I hate to have to correct you: Citizen actually makes The Best Quartz watches on the planet. The 0100 is unparalleled, but even a standard Chronomaster is more accurate than a 9F GS movement, while being nigh equally well finished. That's coming from a long time GS quartz owner.

For low budget, you can’t beat Orient. It’s what Seiko used to be. High in house quality at a good price. Orient is the sister company of Seiko.

My daughter got a brain tumor @ 5 years old. Make a Wish gave us a week in Orlando with passes to all the parks. Donate to a good cause. She is truly amazing.

some funny comments. I like the GS they are quality, My first purchase beyond my casio g shock daily SBGC247 still new sitting in its box. rolex is cool but they don't really wow me I guess like they do others? I'm new to learning movements and complications but that spring drive seems as complicated as i guess Im willing to pay for. i can't wrap my head around some of these watch prices when the reach the cost of my house. really unbelievable when you think about it i can't park my car in a watch nor invite family over inside one.

People normally want a hacking movement, which lets them precisely re-set the second hand. Grand Seiko's quartz watches are designed to let you move the hour hand when changing time zones, while the second hand continues on its perfectly accurate rounds.

"Grand Seiko makes THE BEST quartz watch." With en par polishing, nice dials, no need to change battery in the next 50y, and a more accurate quartz movement, I would argue that Citizen make THE BEST quartz watch. Citizen even include a perpetual calendar on those The Citizen watches that have a date window - no date change required.

Its funny my Seiko Prospex LX came with a better box than my Grand Seiko! Their marketing and sales department is very strange and confusing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Seiko mechanical is horrible in terms of accuracy unless its a spring drive. Even with the spring drive I get about +8 seconds on the spring seiko version and +1 second or less a month on the Grand Seiko version! The markers on the seiko is not perfect and slightly off while the GS is perfect. Just remember I am comparing a $5500 seiko vs a 7300 GS. You really need to spend time to understand the difference!

I know you're just trolling, but I have spent money on watches that could easily have been spent on a gray market Rolex. It's just that I don't think Rolexes look very good. If I wore one I would be posing as someone with money but with bad taste and a need to impress others.
