Grand Seiko Colecction

Nov 26, 2008,00:10 AM
 

Bought my first Grand Seiko about two years ago (SBGE001 from the Bay) and that was the start of a pleasant journey.
Got a few modern ones since then (some new, some used) and earlier this year the broad spectrum of vintage GS' started calling me.
Would still like to put my hands on a 3180, a 4522 and a 4580 or 6186 VFA.

Below is my GS collection as it looks today. Enjoy.

43999 - 1964





5722-9991 - 1967





6146-8000 - 1968



5645-7010 - 1970



5646-8000 - 1971





SBGF019 - Quartz, 8J56





SBGW005 - Manual, 9S54





SBGR023 - Auto, 9S55





SBGR037 - Auto, 9S55 enhanced





SBGA031 - Spring Drive, 9R65





SBGE001 - Spring Drive, 9R66

....I love that the GS have not changed through the years and that your oldest look as good as your newest. Great PURIST collection.

Amazing collection!

SBGR037 on top. Guess durability is the main result....

Thanks for the reply... if there is a translation, will be great. The escape wheel design looks like the L.U.C silicium escape-wheel.... perhaps GS is planning something soon...
