GRAND SEIKO Repped?

[johnlogan]

Talking about Grand Seikos, I saw this one yesterday in a youtube videos and I've been astonished at the level of detail of this dial:

The level of finish achieved with the Zaratsu technique is on par with the really top level watches like Patek Philippe or Breguet.

Here's a collage that someone at Watchuseek did with the Zaratsu finished hands of a Grand Seiko and a comparison with Rolex (I think it's a Datejust or Day-Date) and Omega.


Here, as an example, we have a Vacheron Constantin, a Calatrava from Patek Philippe and a pair of Breguet hands:

Thats the anniversary edition, really awesome watch. Now just google Grand Seiko Mt. Iwa ;-)

I guess I wasn’t the only one today thinking of Seiko. I’d love to see a 10hz sweep. I need to head to the GS store in nyc.

Yo can always search on eBay and get yourself an old Seiko Lord Marvel. These old fellas are hi-beat 36,000bph and I can tell you the hand just glides over the dial, it's mesmerising. And the price is very decent, below some reps we see here.

If I could find one in good state and for a good price, I'd definitely get a Seiko 6138 either the Panda or the Kakume.

I don’t understand why bulova/citizens doesn’t but the precisionist into a slightly higher quality case and dial. Also, why do they make the movement impossible to buy for the micro movement. Well. I understand why, I just wish they would do it.
