Marketing by Rolex is and has been everywhere for decades. Finish, name and movement of GS isn't pedestrian like Rolex. Grand Seiko over Rolex for me !

Rolex was always a marketing company that sold watches. Only in 2004 did Rolex become an inhouse movement and watch manufacturer. Grand Seiko all the way.

Es muy caro y Seiko no tiene el prestigio de Rolex u otras marcas . Seguro que es un reloj excelente, pero por ese precio te compras un IWC o un Tudor, y tienes la sensación de haber adquirido algo más guay

I have a snowflake and an sbgn003, love them both. People love to trash GS bracelets but both of my GS have better finished bracelets than my Tudor BB58. They're much more comfortable, the BB58 feels very sharp in comparison

I recently got my first GS (SBGN009) and what a watch. A friend of mine got the same watch you have and that one is also exceptional. My 009 is a quartz GMT with a different case and dial but in many ways similar to the one from your video. Best value high end watches on the market period. Especially second hand, I got mine for $2000 in mint condition with no scratches. The finishing on GS is like no other, i catch myself staring at the watch for too long. Clasps could use some micro adjust but thats it. Otherwise perfect watches
