Coming To America - Welcome Grand Seiko

I don't like covering press conferences and various shows because it's all "talk". I cover items that are actually in their respective market today. But I do have to mention this... Grand Seiko is coming to the USA.

Excited? I hope you are because Grand Seiko isn't your typical cheap Seiko, it's more than that... say Rolex quality with out the Rolex prices.

SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION is proud to announce that its renowned and respected luxury watch collection, Grand Seiko, is to be released into selected international markets during 2010. Long recognized by collectors, watchmakers and industry observers as one of the great watches in the world, Grand Seiko has, until now, been available only in Japan and a very limited number of retail locations elsewhere but, thanks to increased production capacity, Grand Seiko will be marketed in partnership with carefully selected retail partners in other markets.

Next in my collection... welcome Seiko Hi-Beat or maybe a Grand Seiko Spring Drive like the one pictured above!! Choices... choices. I guess I can narrow my choices without expensive shipping costs. Can't wait to try them on and buy a few on US soil. Thanks Seiko!!
