Great review as always. I`m A Brit living in Japan for many years. Have been selling off my 12 watch collection including Rolex, Omega, Breitling etc so i can finally purchase a GS. I went to the GS boutique a couple of times in Tokyo. They treat you so well, no rush and when I said i was interested in a no date GS a salesman took me upstairs into a room and showed me all the no date models. There`s a humility that you don`t seem to find at other well known brands.

I got a Rolex Yachtmaster (with no purchase history I waited a whole 3 days for it during Covid) and then a GS Skyflake from the same AD and both experiences were exemplary. Of course, the Rolex was at retail and the GS was 20% off. I love them both, along with my Omega Planet Ocean Tokyo 2020 LE and AnOrdain Grey Payne (ordered long before the hype.) I think there is too much either/or brand thinking promoted on KZitem watch videos ( I know, it gets the clicks) when in real life there are lots of folks like me who have multiple brands coexisting peacefully in their watch box.

Grand seiko make beautiful watches. Rolex make watches that are built like tanks. Ask any professional watchmaker which watch brand they enjoy working on and it’s always Rolex because they are so robust.

Grand Seiko watches are like Japanese art, "less is more" and this understated subtlety allows the individual to perceive beauty through one's own eyes without all the noise and chatter that surrounds us. The quality of Japanese watch design and construction has long been under appreciated, which is of course a boon for us Grand Seiko lovers as their prices have remained affordable. As with the Japanese philosophy of "wabi-sabi"; we are the broken/incomplete objects which are made whole by the beauty of the things which surround us. That is, if we really open our eyes and hearts to the beauty which around us. Cheers mate and keep up the wonderful videos!

Nice review. If there is a fault it’s how hard it is reconciling our love for mechanical movements with the realization that this isn’t that. It’s a state of the art timepiece that accomplishes accuracy with the precision of a quartz oscillator while generating its electrical power supply by mechanical means which has been how it is still being done across the world but at much greater scope and scale. Maybe this is just me but I think this is still groundbreaking and challenges the veracity of major mechanical timekeeping with 9SA5, itself a major achievement steeped in the pursuit of improvement of mechanical timekeeping.

Saw your review of GS and the spring drive which compelled me to buy one this week ... HOWEVER ... Grand Seiko - Quality Control and Company Response TBD!! Heard so much about the Grand Seiko line and the Lake Suwa watch. The Spring Drive truly is in theory a great innovation and the sweeping second hand is impressive to look at. Quick run down: Bought one in Japan from authorized GS dealer and two days later found that the 5 day claim was inaccurate because it stopped after less than one day. Yes and the rear case back power reserve showed that it was full. Just two days and I never even sized or wore it yet. I immediately took it back to GS dealer that has offered to send it in to GS repair center to see what happened. This is somewhat concerning because list price is over 9K and you wouldn't expect this to happen to a Grand Seiko! I told the GS dealer if it requires opening up to repair I want a new replacement because this is brand new/never worn. So how would you feel if you bought a new watch and immediately it needed emergency care? Let's see how Grand Seiko responds to this "hopefully anomaly" and do the right thing because if Im the manufacturer and its an internal issue I would surely want to do the right thing and replace it right away. So far a bit disappointed to say the least and your viewers should be aware of this issue as well if they are considering this model. Not sure if this model is a Modern Masterpiece. Lets see how they respond to this issue.

I hope that's the conclusion they come up with as well because they can handle the anomaly internally. Two days only and I never wore it yet. It was still in the box. I got it in Japan and noticed this when I got back to my home country. Went immediately to the GS AD at home and they took it in. I told the boutique this is embarrassing for GS and truly disappointing for me. I wanted to give this as a gift to my brother and as the recipient wouldn't you feel strange that in 2 days it had to go in for warranty work?@@PeterKotsa

@@speedracer2111Is there a happy end for this story? Or did GS refuse to give you a new replacement in exchange for the defective one you purchased? I have a feeling it didn't end well, seeing as you haven't updated after at least 30 days.
