The Grand Seiko 57GS is an S Rank luxury watch which originated in 1963 around November.
In this video this example is 55 years old and check out how it is running. Living proof of the insane quality of Grand Seiko.
BIG THANKS to the vintage GS community on Instagram who allowed me to use their AMAZING PHOTOS to help make this the best 57GS video! @The_Watch_Perspective

I just ordered one, because of you! I share your sentiment for this thing. It's been days and days, late nights, researching all the different GS models, I was getting overwhelmed.. all my boxes weren't being ticked. BUT ALAS... THERE SHE WAS. Not to big, not too small, some angles in the lugs, domed crystal, simple yet elegant sun burst dial, and special history. I was squeeling with excitement watching your video .. 💦⌚💘 Thanks again. I'll probably watch this video 3 times a day until it arrives 😅

Nice! In regards to the 'chronometer', it seems like the Swiss just refuse to accept Japan on their level.

The accuracy @06:53 thts why GS watches expensive. Its defeat most of the automatic mechanical watches brand on accuracy. Worth every bucks.

Any idea if that Tuns band would work with a Seiko deployment clasp, meaning are the pin holes small enough that they will fit properly?
@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын
Yes I have seiko deployants on my other tuns straps. 20mm taper to 18mm. As long as the size is the same as the clasp it will work.

@@EscapementWatch thanks, I knew I could get the correct lug and taper, just wasn't sure if the holes on the band were too big for the Seiko pin.

@@EscapementWatch I understand, makes sense to focus on stuff that works for your target demo. Thank you for making these videos. Your knowledge of vintage Seiko history is impressive. Would have loved to hear you talk about it at length. Good luck with your regular stuff though. Your video footage is very nicely shot.

You had a service and the didn’t change the gaskets on the crown on an old watch? That’s the first thing I think about on a vintage watch. You are right, doing it yourself is incredibly hard. There was a time I could do it, but gave all my work to my watchmaker who has better tools and better ability.
@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын
Yes they say the crown is unchangeable and a sealed swiss type. Which they are not wrong. It was designed to be swapped out for a new one during service. That's why so many 43GS have the wrong crown. When they went into service the 9991 crown was being produced and the coarse one was dwindling in availability.

I love any vintage GS content. This 'chronometer ' issue is confusing. I've got two King Seiko Chronometers which are both 70s watches, ie. later than your GS.
@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын
Yes it is confusing. The first watches to get the change was the 57gs then Seikomatic chrono became the 62GS instead and the King seiko 44KS chrono became the legendary 44gs! Now why do later models have it? I believe a Japanese institute was started up for chronometers as the name was no longer protected in Japan. But I'm NOTE sure. And GS already had this new stricter standard and new branding direction they weren't going to go back.

'Indice' is not a word. You mean 'index', the plural of which is 'indices'.
