I was just offered from my retailer this VC overseas blue dial … it’s an absolute stunner, but I wasn’t quite ready to drop $30,000 on a watch today.. I would say I could still get it tomorrow but obviously it won’t be there long … is this a no-brainer to walk away from as far as pricing, inability? Or is it a money loser if I decide to sell it down the road?

It’s funny, for years whenever I looked at a fifty fathoms that 4:30 date just irked me. I’ve considered the Big Date model, but never pulled the trigger. Then the Swatch version came out and I gave the blue a shot and have loved it - the date doesn’t bother me at all.
Today my wife asked the date and I looked down only to see this!😂

I’ve gotten pretty into Grand Seiko lately. I was in Japan recently and stopped by one of their boutiques, and the dials completely sold me. The craftsmanship in person is on another level. There’s actually a really nice boutique here in Miami too.
Right now I have the Shunbun limited edition (1 of 1,500), and I honestly think it’s one of the most beautiful dials out there. The texture, the light play, and the smooth sweep of the Spring Drive are really, really awesome.
Curious how many other Grand Seiko fans are on here. What are you guys wearing?
Also interested in hearing thoughts on how you guys feel GS stacks up against Rolex, Omega, and the other big “name” brands that tend to get labeled as superior. From a finishing and value standpoint, I think Grand Seiko might offer some of the best bang for your buck in the industry right now.
Would love to hear everyone’s take!

I almost pulled the trigger on a Chronomètre Bleu a couple of years ago but just couldn't justify the $30k price tag. Now I'm not seeing any under $170k!
What explains the crazy jump? Am seriously regretting that decision right now.
