The Grand Seiko Appreciation Thread. Share your pics and stories!
I love the GS models you guys are showing here. So beautiful. I keep flip flopping on which to get and I've still never seen any in person.

Man I appreciate these GSes, but I don't own one! Yours JP would be top of the list, or maybe this (middle one)

I purchased my two Spring drive watches within the same week. The first was a 600 Marine Mater GMT Seiko that I have come to love quite a bit. The second was the Grand Seiko Ti Diver that I purchased from Seiya when the Rolex Sea Dweller I was looking to buy arrived at the AD damaged. I'm scouring my PhotoBucket account to find the pictures that I know are there somewhere(there are just two out of superstition). When I bought it originally it was before Japan made an adjustment in the currency so I paid only $4698 which made it a relative bargain compared to the Rolex. While this watch is off the chart accurate at about 2 seconds every six months when I do a date change on the winder, the 600 MM is less than a second during the same period. I've had both long enough to have both serviced at Seiko in the US. I was a little afraid that they may come back a little less accurate after the service, but nothing appeared to have changed. For the longest period of time this was my collection Flagship. Before the prices started to fall again from the peak a few years ago I traded it like Walter for my first GO(70's Pano). My trade in value was actually far more than I paid originally so it is a rare case of making money on a watch thanks to the currency change.

They are somewhat understated in person, but it is the excellent fit and finish that gives them their real elegance, IMHO.
There is no bad GS, some big, some small, but all are insanely nice for their price point, again, IMHO.

The most prominent Japanese forum thread would just have to be the GS thread.
I have a feeling that I'm going to be rationalizing all kinds of thoughts about how to come up with one.
