But i'm not sure to get your point.
Seiko is a great manufacturer, from cheap entry levels to minute repeater, but their task (or mission, as all the companies love to tell us ) is to provide the best quality at the best price.

Did you know that the GS was not imported in Italy?

i think it's since the beginning of this year that someone did realize it was the time to sell overseas.

I have had many watches, sold everything, now i wear a seiko 5.
totally happy.

I don't agree when you talk about the watches like investments: GF creates expensive watches, but as many others do, so this is one of the illusions that the manufacturers sell to the people, but good luck for you wink

If i can be sincere, i don't like none of them, because they are too thick and big : today no watchmaker really deserves the fame and, most important, the money they ask for, because it's easy to begin from a base plate, an old abandoned projects, CNC machines, lasers, PC with CAD CAM softwares.....that's the reason i gave everything away and i bought my seiko, because it worths every euros i paid.

i think you are a black sheep because you say what you think, and today, obsessed and overwhelmed by the politically correct, only few braves (or mad ;-) ) dare doing it

p.s. forgive my english, it's not my first language

Of course a SEIKO is not a Greubel Forsey. True to my old self, I try not to look at a brand. The debt of sacrifice paid by devoted pursuit of setting a record that others would find a decade or an era to define, just to be better than what was made by Gr...  

Seiko my friend. One more thing..chuckles: you got it.

I was looking for that word: a sub brand. It is a good thing. If ever I wanted to make money, better than my own way, it will not be watches...I don't think its that easy. I agree with points below. It's not investments for 99.9%. But none of us here are ...  

Is seiko a sub brand? [nt]

Oh man...I did almost that. I gave them ALL to my dad.

I took them back...whew. But...it could have gone either way. As for Greubel Forsey's look...no comments. BUT. I like the way it is so..err British. More so than say...a George Daniels. And he would be proud. See..I look at both men, the GF guys,,,they ca... 

The GLT experience also taught us about where to mount the strap

low on the body, it feels solid, heavy. High, and it feels 5x lighter.
