Stunning, isn't it? Ref 6145-8030, with Seiko's first automatic 36,000bph movement.

Here's a post and pic from the same gentleman (photo is his own work). http://forums.timezone.com/index.php...321559&start=0

Thanks, and yes indeed, that guy is great too. I just (after days of deliberating and some bargaining) bought a GS 6145-8000 from a Japanese dealer after reading his write-up on restoring a a 6145-8050. https://adventuresinamateurwatchfett...nd-seiko-6145/

Would you share your dealer info?

Gerald is a well known collector, the history of his vintage GS collection and journey is very interesting. I think he shares this on his blog but before this GS adventure he owned some very high end Independents. He also now runs a commercial arm, selling vintage GS which he sources.

This is also quite interesting for anyone interested in vintage King Seiko...just uploaded a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DguVYi9Itrk&t=1s

I saw this piece at Michael Young’s shop last year when I sent my vintage GS in for servicing. He let me look at it while I was there. It really has some heft to it...a beautiful piece indeed.
