    Seamaster 300 black and White birch is indeed a killer combo, congrats, a refined watch enthusiast collection Mr Williams!

    About 49+yrs ago I purchased a Grand Seiko 5645-8000 linen dial, hi-beat movement when I was in Japan . It came on braclet and was one of the most beautiful watches I had seen . If memory serves, I bought that watch in 1972 . It's still in immaculate condition and I recently sent it to Japan for service. It's back and just as beautiful and accurate as ever . In my opinion, one of the most beautiful watches GS has made . Great video Bruce . Thanx

    GS really seem to be on a roll these days, gorgeous watch & a lot more interesting than a traditional seen it all before Swiss equivalent..

    Pure class. I was lucky enough to see/hold one in the metal at my local AD a few weeks ago. It is absolutely stunning in person, and in my humble opinion, worth every single penny. A grail watch for your’s truly. Good on you, Bruce Sr. Wear it in good health.

    Your dad has great taste. I have a Grand Seiko in my future! Really like it. As for the text on the dial, I do like it. It actually adds some balance to the look to have something down there rather than an expanse of white birches!! Excellent review..

    I think your dad is way ahead of the curve in regards to picking the 'best' watches. What a pair of watches. Should be a lot of pride in that family of yours, both you and your Father are exemplary in my opinion. Great video. Going to cost me lots of money. Wasn't long after the black Omega SMP that I bought mine. Oh well, GS AD here I come!

    I think this White Birch has the potential to be like iconic pieces from Grand Seiko like the Snowflake

    Excellent timepieces, BW Sr. You're a man of style and substance!

    Great piece and a very thorough review. One of the reasons for the 80 hour power reserve is the development by Grand Seiko of a brand new escapement. Not only is the new movement thinner and much more well laid out than previous GS high beat models, but this movement utilizes a dual impulse escapement that debuted in the SLGH003. This escapement is more efficient than a swiss lever, which I imagine helps the watch toward its longer power reserve. I didn't hear you mention the new escapement when you were discussing the movement, so I thought I would throw this comment up. Cheers!

    The dial “Advertising” verbiage does not in any way bother me. Green Hulk has SIX lines (7 lines if you include “Swiss Made”) so to me it is a non-issue. Also, BW SR, I am jealous of your truly stunning GS! Well done sir, well done.
