Taking off a Rolex to put on a Grand Seiko. AS GOD INTENDED.

That is a beautiful watch Jory. Congratulations on finding it. Thank you for sharing :)

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Simple, classy, timeless, eloquence...I'm in love! FYI: I am talking about the watch timepiece 😁 Thanks for sharing!

That is a gorgeous piece and it's awesome to own some horological history. Unfortunately, I now want one!

My kids just bought me the 6246 9000 for my 60th birthday it s amazing. Always wanted a grand seiko and to get the first automatic they made. Thank you I love you all.

I can't believe I didn't come across this review earlier. To have the first Grand Seiko ever made sure is something to be able to say. As you said in the review these are so difficult to find in such good condition, what an honour and pleasure it must be to own one. I would say my favourite Grand Seiko would be the Grand Seiko SGBJ021 Hi-Beat 36000 GMT Caliber 9S86. That deep burgundy/red dial with the coloured movements through the crystal back casing. Beautiful watch. Awesome review Jory 👍

One beautiful watch. Perfect dimensions. Great vid once again.

Dude! What a watch! Congrats! Absolutely love your content! Keep up the good work!

Great video! I own a circa 1959 Seiko Chronos. My favorite.

Another great video!!! Congrats on all of the subscribers!!!

Of the vintage options, I like the 44GS. Of the new references, I own the SBGW253, reissue modelled on your watch. I love it. I am also fond of the SBGV011, SBGA025 amongst others.

Nice watch, Jory! MY favorite Grand Seiko is my very own SBGE009 I bought for myself on my 60th birthday! Spring Drive Heaven!

I love history in any form being civilization or watch, especially from someone who is so enthusiastic about it. Kudos Jory. I love these types of videos and the vintage watches you show. Keep it up.

What a glorious watch! Congrats T3 and thanks for sharing it. I can barely afford to pay my data bill so I can look at pictures of Grand Seikos, but if a bag of money fell off a Brinks truck, I'm really digging that recent Peacock dial model.

I'm glad your a fan of Seiko. Watch snobs love or hate them. These watches are everything you need nothing you don't. I love seikos

The Grand Seiko SBGR261 or Snowflake will be my next watch. I spent a lot of time in the Seiko Premium Boutique in Japan last year during vacation and was blown away at the quality of GS watches. Amazing dials and mirror-like case polishing. And to see the sweeping seconds hand of a spring drive movement....I'm sold on the brand!

That is a beautiful watch. I agree with you on small watches. They look great!

My favorite GS is the hi beat gmt SBGJ203 I love the thick lugs of the case and the texture on the dial

We can only dream about getting our hands on the first GS. I just loved the dial. Overall it's a simple, elegant and such a personal piece. it's nice to have the little 'secret' of knowing the truth about this GS. Keep it up Jory!!

I'm currently eyeing the SBGW253 re-issue... 3:28... NOOOOOOOO !!!! you never. ever , ever, ever put a strap watch on that way ! That's SO easy to drop the watch and it falls face down ! You put the watch on your wrist in the normal position then do the buckle up UNDER your wrist...the watch is then safely resting while your right thumb is pressing the tail end of the strap to your wrist and your right 3 middle fingers manipulating the buckle... I feel like creating a youtube channel with just 1 video on it. How to put on a strap based watch. Beside that, beautiful watch !

Now, that's a keeper! For the longest time, I had been aspiring to own one of the older Grand Seikos, but I had not been persistent to track one down! Then I gave up and started looking for a high-beat King Seiko that is in half-decent condition, but without much luck either. then, last November, one of my co-workers is interested to swap his 1967-vintage manual-wound Lord Marvel for my Borealis Scorpion Fish Diver. The deal was done the next day with no regret. My Lord Marvel is the gold-tone (SGP) version with the 5740 caliber and zero complication. It has a seahorse on the case back. Unfortunately, about 1/8" of the gold plating on bezel was chipped off but otherwise the watch was running great. The balance beats at 36,000 vph which is an insane rate. It keeps extremely good time at no more than +2.5s per day. What's interesting also is that it neither gained nor lost any time after I spent an hour on the treadmill! My SKX and Turtle divers would typically gained about 25 seconds after a 60-minute run. This 50-year old high-beat movement still runs extremely stable which is a testament of the superior engineering, design and execution of this watch. Seiko has definitely earned my respect for their tireless quest for continuous innovation and improvements to their timepieces. Thanks again for introducing this important Grand Seiko to us watch enthusiasts. May be someday I could manage to find the one I am looking for!

I have long lusted after grand seiko and with social media its worse now haha beautiful watch seiko is among the best for sure!

My favorite Grand Seiko is the Snowflake Spring-Drive. I came super close to splurging on it this fall on vacation in Kyoto, but couldn't pull the trigger :(

I really enjoy your channel and your enthusiasm. I'm ordering an Alpinist now and who knows what will follow.

Probably your best video so far. Loved the intro.

Love this channel, I wish you every success

Jory I love your channel man keep up the good work.

The size of the watch looks great on you. It's lovely.

Can you show this to Federico? He is still wearing Panerai Luminors. Show him what a real classy watch looks like. :D

You are extremely fortunate owning that piece.

Jory, absolutely fantastic score. This is why knowledge really helps in collecting. Very smart thinking to go for the first Grand Seiko. Is it 18ct or 14ct gold?

Nice watch. If I do finally end up with a GS it will be the first generation Snowflake Spring Drive watch. Much cooler than a date just.

Sick find. My favorite is the one on my wrist: SBGR053 til i die

Finally made the video😂 the insta pics were killing me

That is one beautiful watch - Looks very similar to the mid-century Gruen and Junghans I am looking at in my display case. Well done, my good man.

You have a piece of history! Congratulations my friend!

Splendid and a true vintage Collectible jewel in your collection Jory Goodman. I envy you. More Vintage Power to you.

Hey I like Tag Heuer. I own an new model Aquaracer and see no faults with it. Very cool watch imo and is built very well. Has the nicest bezel of all my watches.

That's a real beauty of a watch. What do you think of Westclox LaSalle 's ? As well thoughts on wooden watches? thank you, and congratulations on the Grant Seiko.

omg I've been eyeing the gs hi-beat gmt SBGJ227. it's on a steel bracelet but I bet if you swap it out with a leather, u're gonna have a tough time picking between it and the alpinist.

Beautiful piece - you have the best taste and realest commentary. Every one else putting out vids is a joke - thNK U

Excellent watch and yes, it fits you perfectly.

It always kills me how many people want to diss on GS because they can't believe that Seiko (or a brand owned by Seiko) can make a quality luxury watch. They think only Rolex, Omega or another Swiss company can make a "true luxury" watch. Probably these people own a luxury car made by a company owned by Volkswagon. That's a fantasitic watch and congrats on having it!

That just looks great!!

Wow looks smaller on the wrist than on the instagram pics. Never would've taken it for a 35mm judging by them. Fine and rare find my friend.

Looks great on your wrist. Awesome watch. I’m a little bit jeslous 😉. You have the real deal. Small watches are classy. Thumbs up Jory 👍🏼

Nice video, couldn't agree more about Tag and Movado. What do you think about Seiko Lord Marvel, their first high beat movement??

Congratulations to you sir..

When can we see your complete collection?

I think that's a great size actually! I was dismissive of small sizes till I actually tried out a few.

Word up T3, that GS is 🔥🔥🔥 Congrats!

awesome use of the party cam

How's it going new follower I have a question these Seiko 5 watches roughly what year was the year that they had a raise Crystal I have one in my possession that has a slight raise on the Crystal and it's an automatic as well thanks

Small watches rocks. Keep up the good work.

That looks great, good condition

Looks great

That is SWEET!!!! 👍👍👍

Enjoy that beautiful watch.

Thanks! On my paper route, one customer was a trained watchmaker, he would explain things about watches, one point you made, folks wouldn't know about watches like this, I prefer multi complications, this style is boring to me yet I know its significance! Thanks for this vid! You rock..or should I say...tick-tock!😉

Congrats Jory, she’s a beauty.

I am honestly curious on the worth of this watch! Should be going skyhigh?

Such a wonderful watch, wow! (Missing Link tho...)

Hey Triple T! I suggest putting your leather straps on a quality deployment clasp. It really makes a difference in preserving the leather.

What do you think about bulova watches?

top piece ..Congrats..bru... its a Stunner

My favourite is the snowflake GS

The Grand Seikos that are my grail list are the SBGH255 and SBGH257 divers. Because imma diver addict.

I have one and its beautiful ❤

Beautiful watch! Very lucky. Other than the obvious snowflake I would have to go with the SBGC003.

As much as I love Seiko, knowing their history and owning a presage I've always wondered, why don't they have any smartwatches? They're the ones that toppled Swiss giants with their technological breakthroughs of quartz in the 60's, yet they haven't taken a step into smart watch territory. In fact, they were the ones who were heavily invested in LCD early on. Have they stagnated, or will they join the ranks of the new technological revolution? Btw my favourite vintage watch is the first J14070 and OG Omega Constellations(which I have). Grats on reaching a milestone and obtaining this beautiful watch!

What do you think of the Grand Seiko 9F watches?

Wow what a treasure!

Great watch.

BEAUTIFUL! (Enough said)

I looooooooooove vintage watches.... does anyone have a reputable seller or site other than eBay...(I live in Australia) I feel like I'm playing watch Russian roulette when I search for vintage on eBay. Anyway thank you very much Mr Jory for your work.

Nice! And still cheaper than a new Grand Seiko.

Do you have a goldfeather, what do you think of them? :)

is it gold plated?

I found one for $1k cad is that worth it?

Nice pick up Jory.

Oh no that watch is as old as me. Yikes! Love Seiko just wish they still had the 'attention to detail' and sort out their currant QC issues.

So now you need to show us what’s in the new Grand Seiko box behind you!

Grand Seiko box peeping out over your right shoulder, TT. Did it come empty? :-)

nice

Nice history lesson.. Agreed Tag and Movado, meh..

Very nice indeed. Enjoy my frield

Guess I’m a bit conventional, I like the hi beat!

I managed to source one of these recently, all the way down here in South Africa! Great watch. A rarity.

Jory , send the watch to TGV so he can review it . You know how he feels about vintage watches .

Thing about Seiko is it always seems like they're moving forward, their Grand Seiko models do something better each time, and sure they do rereleases and callbacks, but they don't rely on it. Then you have Movado which have completely played it safe and focused on their Museum Watch design rather than innovate.

Looks just like the vintage omega seamaster

We both wear our watches on our right hand

Soooo jealous 👍

Great condition, the one on Chrono24 has been polished to shit. Lucky lucky.

lucky you got one

You have something on your shirt!

You don’t need a bigger watch you need a new chair

thank gawd he doesn't use that weird camera angle anymore

thats 35mm? It looks like a 42!

Keep this one and the tuna and get rid of all the others :)
