Thanks Bernard
such an interesting post...i have to ADMIT post your posts my view for GS is never the same again . Faisal
The Spring Drive 9R86 is simply a VERY good watch
This is just such an exemplary product, and I am not "pro Seiko", but the watch, for a steel one, is a VERY GOOD buy. The GOLD one, however, I was told by the japanese, was not felt to be "in demand" so they make "very very very few".

aesthetically pleasing with an outstanding precise movement. Seiko's Modern Marvel. Drew
Clean room technology...
Bernard, seiko may have the clean room technology and techniques, but wouldn't you agree that it could be easily replicated by other manufactures, and probably will if this becomes a big selling point and not longer "exclusive" to seiko? Neverthless, the ...
At a store in Ginza Tokyo.. the Gold and Titanium side by side
The gold example does feel very very meaty. The chrono hand "bounced" a bot more that I was expecting at reset....
