A Grand Seiko Spring Drive is a fantastic watch. You can't find them here in the U.S. It's a shame.

I have your little brother!!! My absolute favorite watch. The only problem is that no aftermarket straps look right on it!

Don't kid yourself. Omega has gone WAY over the top in recent years with their so called "Limited Editions". There are how many LM's out there? 2000 some? That isn't limited at all, sure they might be hard to source for a bit, but in years to come it will only be viewed as another so called "Limited Edition" that Omega has made.

A real collectors item is rare, something that only one with knowledge might posess, and may in certain cases be limited. (I'm thinking of limited editions of 50 and below)

The spring drive blows both the SubC and the POLM out of the water, and rightfully so.
