Double incoming: When Rolex is not enough... Joining The Grand Seiko Club!
I have to say:
Grand Seiko is very interesting brand. Rolex used to be the one and only brand for me, but not anymore. After experiencing arrogant and strange behaviour from Rolex (all this R-Shortage and Rolex trying to control their customer’s property after purchase), I started to search for other brands. First Omega and now... Grand Seiko! I still love Rolex-watches, but it is interesting that Grand Seiko is better in two things IMO: The precision and the quality of dials&cases. And one more: Amazing customer service! No threats nor arrogant behaviour. I planned to buy only one, but this great AD had another one aswell... I just couldn’t resist... Outstaning quality, precision and the feeling. So comfortable to wear! Never seen the dials like these.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Absolutely love that dial on the white GMT.
I have the same mindset as you do, this Rolex game is getting old. Although GS isn’t a brand I would have originally considered, it is starting to grow on me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Totally agree, I’m still waiting for Rolex GMT and not sure if it will be on my wrist for Christmas. So now I find my self looking into GS and planning on getting one very soon

Beautiful & congrats. I have been wearing GS since 2012 ? All traded away now but on the hunt for one particular Limited GMT & as soon as I find it to add to the small existing collection.

That was same with me: GS wasn’t the brand that I originally considered. After watching video reviews (especially WatchBox Reviews with Tim) and once I saw one live; I was just blown away.... This is something huge and spectacular what’s happening now with GS-watches!! Handpolished beauties; like some kind of unique paintings. Certain LE-watches are so rare that very few on this planet that are lucky enough wearing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can warmly recommend GS GMT! I’ve been wearing both (Rolex&GS). Both are very special, but there is something just a little bit more special in Grand Seiko. It has to be the finishing; Zaratsu-polishing and the precision. Can’t go wrong!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
