    There aren't many Grand Seiko outside of the more dressy watches that do anything for me, but that I will admit looks stunning.

    Damn that’s a handsome beast. I am obsessed with the 9F movement. Sadly its the SS/Gold with the Sapphire Back that calls to me. It refuses to turn up second hand or at anything less than full retail. As stated before I had one in hand in NYC, the credit card was warming up, but Mrs S swooped in.

    You got yourself one great bargain there! Opportunities like that are rare these days. Well done! Really nice early Smiths.

    You got very lucky, I don't actively follow values on the individual Smiths but that looks really nice condition for one of the early ones(you can tell by the non-crown logo, must be early 50's I should think) and don't doubt you'd sell it for £200+ min straight away. No doubt RevO will give you proper info over on MWR, he's well into his Smiths.

    You can find some good info on this site too https://www.smithswatches.com/

    Ha! Busiest dial out there, but I would have given anything for one of those in flight school and undergrad. Back in the days of "no calculators" in placement testing, you can do some pretty high level math on that bezel (E6B).

    Acquired a limited edition Zodiac Aerospace GMT ZO9401 for damn near list. Couldn’t pass up on the deal, and for the price, it’s sharp as hell.
