Owning high vs. low end brands, Part 3!

This time we're comparing how much of us own a Seiko vs. a Grand Seiko! Shoutout to @miamiwatchvice for coming up with this brilliant comparison! You can decide what counts as a Seiko or a Grand Seiko if it's a judgement call, but really, if it says Seiko on the dial it's a Seiko, and if it says Grand Seiko on the dial it's a GS. Thank you to everyone who participated in the last two polls! It's been fun making these! What would you like to see compared for Part 4? Let me know in the comments!

Interestingly option A, but already picked my next Seiko, just waiting for a good deal. 😎

·

Both in one watch!

But also...

...and so many more over the years. I actually don't understand how you could be a fan of one and not the other. 🙂

I have 3 Grand Seikos and a quartz Seiko Mickey watch that was one of a pair of Seiko Mickeys gifted to my wife and me when we married in 86.

·

I like Seiko divers. Especially old ones. But I never saw a Grand Seiko that appealed to me. GS just makes me think of more money/less charisma. I must be missing something.

·

Currently three Grand Seikos and seven Seikos in the collection.

·

GS SBGA493, Seiko SUP880, and vintage Seiko Momotaro kimono pocket watch here...

Buy what you like! Seiko divers are unbeatable. 💪

Now do... Vostok and Panerai! Or Vostok and whatever more suitable.

·

A . . . But I have owned Seikos in the past (a glacier blue alpinist) and I’m not opposed to adding one (I have always been intrigued by the Astron line). And part of me wants some version of that crazy Alien movie watch.

·

I have both a Grand Seiko and a Seiko gmt and I have a Seiko built by Grand Seiko SLA065

😄 I don't try hard - I just see them! The hard part is not to spend so much money on Seikos. I like them a lot.

Oh well I'll play ... Arguably the MM300 is a GS by heart ( movement) and appearance ( zaratsu polishing)...

Beautiful!

I have two Seikos, and will probably pick up the third in about 2 weeks, or maybe a Grand Seiko.

Fantastic!
