This is encouraging cheers, also 'entry level' Grand Sieko makes me laugh. Bet it's well up to the job. Basically took my work's redundancy last week and already spending the money I don't yet have. This will be a watch that will outlast me so has to be mechanical personally.

Fair enough and oh absolutely. It was honestly gorgeous. The only reason I sold it was because I wanted a Speedmaster more and couldn’t have both. Turns out I sold that, too… ha.

Grand Seiko 9F Quartz has a recommended service interval of 50 years. It’s one of the best/coolest (if not the coolest) quartz movements in the world. And the watches come in great (slim) sizes unlike most of their automatics.

The finishing is equally good on all Grand Seikos. The hands, markers and cases are all done the same way, except when you start getting into the more expensive “micro-artist” stuff. So yeah, even the most basic watches in the range have that GS “thing”.
They are a must to try on IRL though. They tend to be very shiny indeed (certain case designs especially) and the thickness is an issue in some of their watches IMO. Definitely need to be tried on.
The thickness thing is one reason why spring drive and/or their manual wind watches are worth looking at - they tend to be slimmer and wear better.

@Jambon - I sold my very very good condition Grand Seiko SBGR053 for $2200 (£1597 today) to someone in the UK. Their entry level automatic and it’s a corker of a watch. I actually delivered it by hand when I was visiting home - so you can definitely get a deal. Also consider their quartz references - also fantastic.
