Grand Seiko 6145-8000 “Cross dial”, I won that auction, I will share picture once the watch make it here in France and thanks for the analysis very useful indeed, to be honest I was quite baffled myself, cross hair characteristics without the very cross, saw that by comparing picture from the catalogue... Though I had already committed to by the watch, the deed was done, either way we shall see.
Just got the watch everything seems legit except for the dail which bears the reference of another seiko model shocking! It smells and looks like a giant frankendial... Deflated, the case stunning though this is the first I see a vintage gs in the flesh a stunner, aesthetic in spade... I will drop an angry line to the dodgy seller.
That Citizen is epic. It’ll hammer high.
Yeah it's superb. Probably a once in 5 year opportunity.
Ugh - I've done it again and missed off a link (to the first featured auction). Apologies.
Updated for those who read in the browser or the app.
Compelling newsletter this week, but took some skill to make it so.
Thank you for the kind words Scott 🙏
