Tom, the Seiko SDDB001 is a Marinemaster (£1500) and not a Grand Seiko (£5200) This was what you posted before, I don't think you know that SBDB001 is, it sure is not 1500 pounds, and there's no SDDB001. And in 2005 there's no GS diver, so you are saying at that time Seiko doesn't have a competitor against the Sub, which is not true. They had one, and it is called SBDB001, and MSRP was higher than the Sub. You said GS diver and Sub are in the same price range so they are competitors, but when SBDB001 and Sub are in the same range, they are not? You use price as a factor when it suits your argument. But whatever, old people are too stubborn to listen, and they never admit that they are wrong. |

Tom vs. Dave debate aside, 2005 isn't a good base year to compare Rolex to a SBDB001. That's literally the year automatic Spring Drives debuted at Basel. It was a whole new type of movement, previously only seen in handwound Credors.
Now Spring Drives are produced in larger numbers and much more efficiently. The premium on them has rightfully decreased (relatively). Hi-Beat GS's still have great resale. |

Tom…Dave…give it a bloody rest!
For a moment there, I thought I was on TZUK instead of TRF, with the daftest argument ever about Grand Seiko vs Rolex. Who cares what price whatever model sold for 10 years ago? It’s ancient history! |

The pictures really don't do the dials justice. Need to break out the Nikon and try to get some up close shots.
