The first GS in stainless steel sure looks like an interesting idea..

Id be tempted, knowing this fraud is about as close to a platinum 3180 as I’m ever going to get. It is handsome

My recommendation would be that if you were interested in picking up a steel cased example of the first GS, be patient and wait for one that at least has a genuine dial. I won’t be selling my two though, and I know Erik Strickland won’t be selling his!

The grandest of all Grand Seiko’s. How about some glamour shots for the younger guys to aspire to. We’ve all seen the Strickland watch

I was 1 of the 2 overseas bidder, but couldn’t get past his max bid. Wonder how much did he set as his maximum bid😅

Too bad about the 6186 8000. Dude could legit think he has a 10k VFA. Sure looks to be playing it honest like he really doesn’t know about that crystal.
