Big congrats and totally agree with you regarding the current Rolex situation. Can’t go wrong with GS like you I’m a Rolex lover but must say GS qualitity and value is certainly a cut above Rolex.
Enjoy

Sapphire glass on top! Very high quality feeling while wearing!

Both are superb! I really like the black dial GMT - that is a very well designed piece - spring drive puts it over the top... Congrats!

Good for you.

Amazing fit and finish from Seiko in general- my latest is quite “fancy” for a tool watch.

GS is on another level. In many ways, on par with (flame suit on) Patek. I’ll never justify a Patek but a GS? I think so...

Congrats! I am mostly Rolex but have owned a few GS through the years.

If you're someone that's into horology, you just simply simply cannot find more value at that price point.

Congrats! GS makes fine watches. I definitely rate them above Rolex on dial and case finishing.

Congrats on the nice watches. I’m with you, nobody does a dial and polish work like Grand Seiko. Every day you wear one you pick up on an angle that sparkles and catches you like a diamond in the sunlight. You look down and see it’s a reflection off an hour marker or the edge of the crystal. They make the person wearing the watch smile!

Really like the SD GMT, wish they made that one with a high beat mvt as well.

Congrats!
