I'm a big believer that if you buy a watch because you think it is beautiful that you should wear it and enjoy every minute. Life is way too short to see something you really like and would really like to wear but you don't want to because it may lessen the value if you ever sold it. It's just a watch, not something of historical importance, rare, and incredibly expensive. Why let someone else you don't even know to get all the enjoyment out of wearing it? I'm not overly materialistic and I don't buy myself things all the time, but when I do get something that I really like I enjoy whatever it is. If it's a watch I wear it, If it's a car I drive it, if it's a firearm I shoot it, etc... I hope when my time comes that I don't say to myself, "I wish I had done this or that."

It is a very nice looking watch. If I owned it, I’d wear it. Not while I was out gardening or tinkering in the garage, but I’d definitely wear it to dinner so I could enjoy it.

What a beautiful blue piece! I also have a limited edition Seiko, and I do wear it. Not every day, but it doesn't live in a box. You should wear it and enjoy it, that's the point.

future collectors watch right there, Grand Seiko dial that somehow found its way on a limited run of 3500 dials in the prospex line.

Just picked one up, gonna be my daily driver for sure. It's just so versatile: sporty yet elegant.

It truly is a beautiful watch

I can tell you really like this watch and it's unlikely that you'll sell it. Therefore it makes no sense to speculate about its value because if you just wanted to flip it you'd have done it already. A watch is not a golden bullion. It's functional jewelry that's meant to be worn. The value is in you enjoying it. Beautiful as it may be, it's not a piece of fine art or some unique artifact so there's no reason to be overly paranoid. After a couple of years there will be another watch that you'll like because the watches evolve and so do our tastes.

That dial is stunning.

That’s a really great looking watch

That date window kills it for me

Good news regarding the power reserve - it is actually documented as 70 hours, and I checked my own Ginza to find that without any additional hand winding before I set it down it ran for 71.5 hours. I wear mine often and it won't be sold.

Wow... Just wow...

Congratulations! Hope it sees more sun, and gets more glances.

I’m having problems seeing dates thes days on my watches with color matched dates. I’m finding that white date wheels are better when you turn sixty.

A special kind of it's own!

Yup, I'm up for this 1..

Just get the "Deep Lake" dark blue. It also has incredible dial details that often go unnoticed and is costs less than around 650 bucks. This is hands down my favorite Seiko model. Incredible value for the money and you end up with a watch that feels like you wearing a Grand Seiko.

That really is nice. I once put a huge dent in the case of my dive watch and since then, I only wear watches I can easily replace. You should keep it in mint, unused condition.

i was fortunate to get 1 at a singapore retailer in earlier months of 2022 for around 1200++ Singapore dollars. now it is at least around 2000 USD or SGD .... the last time i check on chrono 24. the dial will only turn greenish when under bright natural sunlight . otherwise it is mostly bluish looking

I wear mine, I got 1 small scratch so far. Keep in mind that if you get a really bad scratch you can get one of the non limited editions as a donor, the main difference is the dial and hands, but the cases are the same.

Man I'm so annoyed I wasn't into watches when this came out. I'm not paying 2-3 times retail for it though. I hate the flippers who haven't even opened theirs, just bought them to make money. They're not even that limited, 3500 pieces so there's always some for sale.

Wear it! Enjoy it! Build some character into it. It'll get a little ding here or there but they'll be yours.

Beautiful watch but my Seiko SPB053 is the most beautiful Seiko and one of the most beautiful watches ever made.

I searched literally everywhere for a new Ginza this summer (after 99% were long sold out) because I was late to discover the watch. This is my grail Seiko. I found what I'm almost positive was the last one available (new) with an AD in Illinois on a Friday in June, and was literally going to fly out to get it. I checked back 3 days later on Monday and they said someone came in and bought it over the weekend. i was sooooo close it haunts me. You can get them 2nd hand but I refuse to pay 2x retail for it.

Done right, enjoy!

Def wear it brother. Watches are meant to be worn and experienced 😃

Beautiful, but wear it! You'll be dead one day.... I bought a Seamaster 300 with an inheritance from my Mum, wear it almost every day. I pretty much wrecked it in 18months, (broke off the crown, scratched case up) - had it serviced/repaired (£485) & now it's as good as new and back where it belongs - on wrist. Wear it, enjoy it. Cheers 👍🏻

I bought the last one available online anywhere 😈

I'm not even into purple and I absolutely love it

Case shape reminds me of a Mont Blanc Timewalker

C'mon Seiko! In the thousands and *still* problems with end link rattle and the almost compulsory unsigned crown. Still, it's a great looking watch!

You lucky son of a got . Huge respect for putting them on the wrist!!! I got similar problem with limited additions. First you really want them /then you don’t want to scro them😀 Few months ago I got a chance to get it for 1200 and i pass now it is over two grand. Is it a possibility to buy somewhere just the dial and switch it on the regular Alpinist?!!!

The only thing I dislike about the watch is its thickness at 13.1mm. I thought I wouldn't mind it at first. But after having and wearing the watch for a year, it is definitely something that should be considered before buying. A good watch to have in a collection, but definitely will look to replace it with something more comfortable as a daily driver.

I really think Seiko needs a need movement for their "upper-mid range" watches besides the 6r15/35. Its too thick a movement for the more dressy asthetics they are going with many of the presage/prospex lines and adds chunk that the watch would be better off without.

Watches are meant to be worn. Wear it.

Beautiful dial but seriously, Seiko...how do you make a watch like that for that price and not even put a design on the crown? It's a detail that Seiko constantly leave off their watches and it just kills me. Boring crowns on nice watches. Small details make a difference.

Damn! that's a sweet bargain for 300 bucks. You're gonna pay more than 500 bucks for that shit in Taiwan.

I don't get people. Wear it if you love looking at it. I bought a Tudor Black Bay 58 for 3800 USD a couple of months back and I wear it at least 3-4 days per week. I'm also on a waiting list for a Rolex Submariner which has been my grail watch since forever, and one of the reasons I started my journey with a Seiko SKX. When I end up getting the Rolex, I'm gonna wear it for sure. Just wear it if you enjoy it, don't be a slave to it. If it gets some hairline scratches, who cares?

No micro adjustments at the clasp, what a shame, I'm out

Thats beautiful and expensive to me.

I'm guessing this is an old video? These released awhile back

Don’t scratch it!!😅

Plenty of these still for sale in Asia at retail its an alpinist 6R35 70 hrs. Only a fool would pay 2k for this Seiko. It’s a pronounced “pro spec” as in professional specification,

Buy it and wear it. Done. Or don’t buy it at all.

it's only a Seiko just wear it

I dislike the looks of this watch.

Lame review..
