Why you going to the airport? Flying somewhere?

Introduction

Ok, guess which idiot forgot to bring his laptop on his travels…

So apologies, not only is this week’s newsletter a day late, it is also going to be very abbreviated because writing this on the phone is not conducive to my mental well being!

Normal service will resume next week. 🙏

Grand Seiko 5646-7011

Stunning!

---

Grand Seiko 5646-7030

Not the best example - some issues at the periphery of the dial.

Grand Seiko 6185-8021 VFA

I think this is a relisting? But I’m not going to attempt to check on the phone!

Yes it’s a VFA, so it gets a mention, but the issues are clear.

XQB070 bracelet

Looks like a nice one.

The first Grand Seiko with carved logo dial

The inclusion of the box and movement number swing tag might tempt a few people, but honestly with the state the watch is in, I’d recommend passing on this one unless it’s an absolute bargain .

Grand Seiko 5722-9991

Very rare to see this final version of the 57GS certificate. It is almost certain that this is the correct box for the -9991, because of course it could not have been sold in the Chronometer box.

A real shame about the condition of the watch though, with a very poor dial and a gouged caseback medallion the most egregious issues.

Redial

A reminder to steer clear of those dodgy coloured redials, and anything listed by you-know-who!

See you all next week, and please be gentle with me in the comments…
