My friend just recently got a GS SBGV205 for around 150k.
A similar looking Rolex Datejust costs 350k, slightly less if preowned (Rolexes have good resale). So I wouldn't say you can get a Rolex for the price of a GS, but yes Grand Seikos are quite expensive, although rightfully so because they're built to a much higher standard than ordinary Seikos.
Toyota and Lexus are very good parallelisms in the automotive world.
BTW, if you think a GS is expensive, the Seiko SLA017 costs 180k.

How about the sub vs spring dive.
They cost almost the same. Within a few ten thousands lang yung difference.
Which one would you choose?

Sabagay. A rolex is a rolex.
They say it'a a hybrid. Quartz and mechanical at the same time.

Not quite. There's a pretty long discussion about that on WUS:
whats the oldest watch company still around?
Basically, it depends on your definition of watch brand and continuity.

January 2nd, 2018 01:40 PM #2159That's the strange thing about some watch snobs. They think or feel that continuing ownership or operation of the watch company equates to how long the brand has been existing. The reality is, companies, especially in the manufacturing sector (like watches), do change ownership over time.
If you look at the name of the watch strictly as a brand or trademark or trade name, then it has been in existence from the time that brand was created --- regardless if it stopped making watches for some time and then resumed, or if it changed hands.

Happy new year watch freaks!
Took the Planet Ocean for Alex (the Rolex guy) to look at in his shop in GB1. Amplitude is still good (290) and rate is +5/day. Not bad for a 5 year old watch. Alex advised me to hold off on getting a service for now.
Haven't gotten a service from him yet but from the way he talks to customers, handles watches and how the shop looks I think I will be going to him from now on. Seems a lot more professional and systematic than the other independents. How I wish he had an Omega parts account!Last edited by Wh1stl3r; January 2nd, 2018 at 05:09 PM.
