    For those that have seen the excellent watch photography from @watchdbx—- something more than the ubiquitous and typically boring YouTube unboxings; the first reference and chronometer from GS slowly unwrapped from its original packaging.

    I can’t believe I watched all 12 min of that.

    Wow, what an incredible find. It’s already hard enough to find these in decent condition, let alone the entire box. His photography of Seiko and non-Seiko is truly top notch.

    I maintained my pattern with YT: flip through it in 60 secs. Nice looking watch.

    Skip to 5:30 to actually see the watch...

    I think that the point is not to see the watch, but to have a look at what a complete set bought from an AD in the 1960's would look like.
    I'm not big on GS but it's pretty cool to find a set that has survived time so well...

    Sure - if you want to see the box that's fine, but I simply posted that in case people wanted to skip all the bits and actually see the watch. I'm suggesting you must skip it, only that you can if you wish...:)

    Vintage Grand Seiko has some serious case appeal. :cool:
