    As many of you know, my focus shifted away from Grand Seikos to King Seikos so the plan was to sell the Grands. Due to some unexpected medical bills, I will be selling most of my collection. Next up, this beautiful example of Taro Tanaka's Grammar of Design with Special Hi-Beat movement.
    The freshly serviced, automatic, "Special" cal. 6156A movement, with Kanji/English day/date function, is keeping good time (proof of service is included). The 36mm case(excluding crown) has a 18mm lug width, 41mm lug to lug. As you can see from the photos, the case is in excellent condition.

    The dial is in very good condition with a few minor spots and some slight aging. The medallion on back is in excellent shape.

    It comes on a Seiko strap with what may be the original 15mm buckle.

    I'm asking $1250.00 USD, which includes PayPal fees and shipping within the US. International sales welcome with shipping at buyer's expense.

    I have lots of positive feedback here and on WUS as efauser and saguy43 on eBay.

    Please review the photos and feel free to ask questions. I will not accept returns unless grossly misrepresented.

    Much softer examples without service and buckle go for close to this price. This version of the 61GS is the most attractive with the kanji DW in my opinion. GLWS Eric this is one of the best examples I've seen in awhile.
