Glad to know you're still enjoying the GS.


Beautiful Adam - sorry about the “Seth” business!

That’s quite a grouping. Hoping to add to my Grand and King soon. I’d like a Vintage Seiko Chrono, but those are a wee bit more.

Ok, just to follow up, mine is squared with a very slight dome.

Most of the vintage Seiko (GS, KS, LordMatic) has a square mineral crystal. The Lord Marvel crystal looks like acrylic double dome. I got a GS 5646 and a KS 5246 which I cracked the crystal while polishing and did not have a choice because the crystal is basically impossible to find. I settle for a 1.2mm Chinese single dome sapphire for replacement. The Seiko part number for your crystal is 310T08AN. There is a seller on Ebay that sells a GS crystal replacement for your watch. Good luck.

Thank you!

If I can find my crystal I purchased from Otto Frei, I will compare part numbers.
