While that is spectacular it's not available at any price.

 

I'd like to add the Grand Seiko is a very under rated watch. Grail watch for me. My daily is a first gen Orange Monster. A beast of a watch.

 

At the jewelry store where I used to work I had a customer who was into Seikos.  He had at least one Orange Monster and Grand Seiko.  Really cool watches.

 

He was into cars too so whenever he got a new car he'd stop by and we'd chat about watches and cars for an hour or two.

It is one year since purchasing this G-Force Casio.

It is running about 60 sec ahead since then, which is 5 sec a month.

This is about average accuracy what I get from several budget quartz wristwatches I stil keep.

I took a chance with my first Citizen.

What initiated my interest in those is the battery drive supplemented with solar power, so the Eco-Drive is here. We will see about longevity, but these tend to run 10-20 years without a battery change if properly maintained.

43mm looks a bit large on my wrist, but clean design and black color make it look smaller.

It’s funny revisiting this thread.  After spending nearly 20 years as a Rolex timepiece specialist I don’t even wear a watch anymore in my “new life”.  Before, I felt like I wasn’t fully dressed if I left the house without a watch on.

 Seiko Spring Drive is the most precise  movement , period    when Spring Drive was released  ,   Seiko invited ETA Specialists to Japan all expenses paid to tear the movement apart and rebuild it ,  only a  handful of Seiko's technicians were able to do the task .
