I would love to see up close the 21st century's one new 36K movement.   (It is unclear whether Favre Leuba will ever be able to bring its handwind movement to market).     It would also be nice if Seiko would agree to service the vintage GS's in the States,  but that may be too much to hope.  Thanks for the good news.

...I've been an admirer of GS since their reintroduction. I wonder if Seiko plans to increase production of GS in conjunction with the worldwide release. I remember reading somewhere that Seiko limited the production of GS watches to only 300 per month, b...

Based on the first paragraph, an increased product capacity is the very reason they are going international. Thrilled to hear this my self, mainly as it will make it easier to get repairs / maintenance work done with out the hassle of sorting shipping to ...

time to upgrade from my seiko 5s

Excellent!

Now I don't get to travel to Tokyo anymore my GS acquisition has slowed down.... so this will be very good, if they appear in the UK.

curious to see if the whole line will be available as well as whether they will follow boutique format as points of sale or be integrated alongside select established retail outlets. Interesting development. Great news!!!

I hope they export the full line...

...and not just a selected few designed for the overseas market. I always drool over the Seiko display cases when I'm in Japan. These are not GS, but pretty nice!...
