Well, 3 weeks ago I purchased my first Grand Seiko. Today I received my 2nd. It’s the 231 Ti diver spring drive. I’m a convert. These watches are phenomenal. I don’t know how they have been so un-noticed.

Unnoticed by brand snobs maybe! That’s one watch with an undeniably innovative movement! Congratulations

A couple more photos from today. The flat black dial is like looking into an inkwell.
I realized my crown wasn’t screwed down shortly after this........
