The level of videography displayed here, combined w/ Grand Seiko's mastery, of dial making and finishing, makes for the most breathtaking footage I've seen yet. Fantastic work. All the best....
I’d really like to see this watch in the metal because the dial looks almost black on video but I’m hoping in natural light it’s more of an olive green and you can see the texture of the dial.
Although we tried our best, the video doesn't do it justice. Its a beautiful green in person. If your in the SW Florida area, come stop by our store to take a look
I love it!! Its a beautiful green dial in person, and the gold accents look amazing. If your in the SW Florida area, come stop by our store to take a look
The hands an indices are not solid gold. GS will put a single star on the dial close to the 6 O’Clock if the hands and indices are solid gold. They still look amazing on this watch though.
I'd have to disagree. The average Rolex is spec'd at +2/-2 seconds per day, while the Grand Seiko Spring Drive is accurate to +1/-1 seconds per day. Although this specific Grand Seiko is a Hi-beat movement which is accurate to +5/-3 per day. So, in the end, you are getting a more accurate movement (if you chose the Spring Drive) for less than half the price. So I really don't see how Rolex is king in this case...
@@ExquisiteTimepieces but spring drive is not mechanical and it does not have to be regulated by hand that meticulously - it has an advantage to be regulated by quartz crystal. Also, +5/-3 is before casing, in reality they promise +8/-1, unlike Rolex's cased-up +2/-2.
Grand Seiko is more accurate than Rolex. Rolex does not even offer 36000 bph movements. Grand Seiko also offer Spring Drive many folds more accurate than Thr most expensive Rolex. My Seiko Spring Drive deviates only 1-2 seconds per week in reference to Atomics clock. Try that with your Rolex. As a watch enthusiast, I love all brands and Rolex is one great watch, no argument here but do not underestimate Seiko. Rolex is more glamorous but Grand Seiko is real deal.
@@wangox for sure, it is not 50%. It is fully mechanical, just regulated by an quarz. And there is only one reason, rolex isn't doing this... they can't. It took GS 28 years and over 600 prototype watches to get it done. Don't get me wrong... I totally love rolex! The watches are great... But in another way.

Incredible dial! Your shots keep getting better and better 🔥
Thanks Mario!
Yes fully agreed, my GS SBGH269 Japan autumn red maple leaf dial is stunning and beautifully made. Love it.
Wow! Grand Seiko hasn't even released that watch yet! You're lucky to have it! It is beautiful!

are the hands and indices gold?
Yes they are!
@@ExquisiteTimepieces
18k gold or?
And where can I find more information on the gold content?
Thanks in advance

Nice but Seiko don't nail the guaranteed accuracy on its automatics like Rolex does. Rolex is still the king.

@@Qieqi It's mechanical 50%.
So in your sayin, i agree, and grand seiko is not the most reliable and accurate in 100% mechanical.
