Grand Seiko?

A bit of a current Grand Seiko primer; apologies if you've already seen this.

Interesting video.

Seiko and Grand Seiko could end up with more models than Panerai?

I guess Seiko paying Christian for some GS promo videos really changed his mind.

Nah...I see it as a shill for GS and disingenuous as possible.

That blue dial is fantastic. It's similar to the blue dial that fp journe makes

Looks great, and I like a blue dial. But I think the similarity is just that it's blue... the FPJ Chronometre Bleu is another level, the way they build up the lacquer for the indexes to float, looks really special.
