  • 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.

    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.

  • Thanks for the info. To be honest I don't really know the difference between automatic and spring drive so need to do more reading before deciding and a lot more before handing over any cash.
