I had the joy of shopping at the largest Credor display in all of Japan, at the Seiko House Ginza, just this past March. The staff there was amazing and I fell in love with a specific Credor model in the Linealx line, the GCCD989. It is absolutely gorgeous. Too many details to mention. Regarding accuracy, yes it states +15/-10, but actually runs at exactly +3 per day, every day. Not bad. For what I paid, it was a STEAL. Lastly, Credor is a strict Japanese domestic brand. I don't think they care AT ALL what the outside world thinks or says about them. They will do their own thing, and I am fine with that.

For me it's the little things. As always with quality Japanese craftsmanship. The 'Bell Flower' design on the Mainspring Barrel by itself is such a beautiful and simple idea but then for say the Spring Drive 7R14 movement in a Credor the gap between the bridges/plates of the movement leads up to it like a flower stem. Japanese craftsmanship is for me unmatched at achieving subtle understated quality that is created in a very deliberate and thoughtful manner.

For me, a Credor is a must have for any Seiko collector. King/Grand Seiko are the grammar of design, Credor is the flamboyance. Credor is also without a doubt the best way to get precious metals and stones for cheap. I bought a 5A74-0190 for 750 bucks, diamond encrusted 18k yellow gold bezel. Can't beat that!

Great 'intro to Credor' vid. 👌👌 IMHO, Joe misstates that the Eichi II porcelain is whiter than GS / Seiko enamel. The enamel dials on a watch like the Seiko SNR037 have a brighter bolder white (and wet paint appearance) than the 'softer' look of porcelain white. That said - of course the Eichi II is stunning. I've had it on my wrist in the Osaka GS AD and by chance I'd gone in wearing my 037 Laurel. Hope to own an EII someday!

My only experience with credor was a white dial h2. I wanted to love it as much as my grand seikos, but I've never so quickly fallen out of a honeymoon phase with a watch. Actually, I completely forgot I owned it for nearly a year. If you could spend all day watching your movement, you'd be fine, there's no disputing the craftsmanship of construction. But the attempt at civilised understatement just comes across as incomplete. The dial went from enigmatic porcelain to a cousin of microwave safe crockery. Eventually moved it on to make space for an omiwatari, and have never looked back.
