Incoming.
I attended a Grand Seiko event tonight and I had the pleasure of meeting one of their master watch makers from Japan.
After years of drooling, I couldn't take it anymore and I picked up a limited edition model. It's a homage to the 1967 Self Dater. It has no bezel, a 21 MM bracelet and a case that is not shared with any other GS model. I'm beyond happy with it so far and I can't stop staring at it.   The watchmaker signed my box, and I thought that was really cool.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
