But the first thing that came to mind when I was visiting the local GS AD was...are these watches really Seiko's?
When Toyota went upscale with Lexus, they didn't call their new line 'Grand Toyota'! Nope, they knew better and came out with new branding.
Why on earth didn't Seiko follow suit?

It is a matter of perspective. Lexus is not a high end car. Rolls Royce and Ferrari, those are high end cars. Similarly, Grand Seiko and Rolex are not high end watches. Patek and Credor are high end watches, and Credor is Seiko's high end offering.
