Close-Up: 5 Grand Seiko Watches That Pay Homage to 1964 Classic
Last year, Seiko added several new models to its prestigious Grand Seiko watch collection. Along with the new hi-beat GMT models, which we covered here, these Grand Seiko watches include five new models that pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of a fondly remembered Grand Seiko from 1964.The Grand Seiko Homage to 1964 watches are all limited editions, with three of the watches equipped with Seiko’s hybrid mechanical-quartz Spring Drive movement and the other two containing a high-precision quartz movement, Seiko Caliber 9F82. The clean simplicity of the new Grand Seiko models echoes that of the 1964 Seiko “Self-dater,” the very first Grand Seiko watch to incorporate a date window. The “Self-dater” �� intended to be a more “practical” version of the original Grand Seiko �� is a favorite among devot��es of Seiko’s historical watch models.The three watches with the Caliber 9R15 Spring Drive movement (References SBGA103, SBGA105, and SBGA107) in

My wife and I were happy that TRF member HK IslandBoy visited our neighborhood tonight. It was great to try on his AP, talk watches, and enjoy some food & drinks together Sent from my SM-G9550 using Tapatalk

trade SS daytona for diver?
Hey guys, would you trade a random serial, March 2015, complete kit, SS 116520 black dial for an AP diver I serial? The AP has papers but no box. Would you trade straight? Would you add money on top of the daytona? Would you not trade? Appreciate some opinions and thoughts! Never owned an AP before...

Sales person invited to tour PP factory
I visited my local AD yesterday to enquire about the 5320. The young sales person was very friendly and we got chatting. Mentioned that she's still learning about Patek and has only been in the watch industry for about a year. And then she casually mentioned that she's going to Geneva shortly to tour Patek's factory. So I replied that she must be a high-performer since it's a real privilege. She responded that because she speaks Chinese she's been selected along with a few clients. In my experience, most sales are Chinese these days, so it's not a unique attribute.Question: is it common for young sales ppl and clients to tour Patek's factory? Is it something that all sales ppl do as part of their training? Does this extend to other brands?Note:They have not received any 5320G yet but the first one is due in Sep. There's interest (expected) but I will see it when it comes in.5711/1A - 4/5 yr waitlistSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
