The pictures above can tell you more than what I can explain. I love all the pictures posted here so far.

Yeah, but you know, it is JUST A SEIKO...

Personally, I don't really give a rat@$$ what others may think of the brand. I wasn't gonna miss out the opportunity to own this piece of art.

Happy owner here.

This is turning into a GS poison tread...and it looks like cream dials are a favorite here.

Anyway, are GS watches more prone to scuffs and scratches? I ask because the high level of polishing make them look quite susceptible to wear.

Surprisingly no. I have been wearing mine daily while doing all sorts of activities. Playing with my kids, going to the market , sometimes I even forgot that I'm wearing it while cleaning the garage.  ;D

Not as noticable as my Panerais. My 2 cents worth

The last time I went there was around CNY. That's when I handled the GMT hi beat (last one they had). They don't hold a lot of stock as I understand from the sales rep.

Managed to see many Grand Seiko displayed in one of the shop in Johor Bahru, I am not sure any WIS actually go to view them in person, I personally dun like the look of the basic range GS, but the rest are stunning.. :thumbsup:
