NWA Vintage Grand Seiko

So excited to share my first NWA of 2023! This is the Grand Seiko 4520-8000, a model originally released in 1968 and only manufactured for a few short years into the early 70s. 
 

I love the symmetry of this dial. It’s funny because the things I used to find boring about this watch when I first saw photos of them online a few years ago (the simplicity of the design and the chunky lugs) are now the things that I love the most about it! 
 

Funny how our tastes can change over the years! 
 

Would love to see photos of anyone else’s vintage Grand Seikos!

I agree! It was serviced just before I received it and is keeping incredibly accurate time. Amazing to think that 50 years after it was built, it’s still doing its job beautifully!

Love mine, not a Grand Seiko but a King Seiko produced around the same era

I constantly surprise myself with how my opinions about styles, colours and sizes keep evolving and changing. 
I just bought this King Seiko from 1970 and I love it. I would not have been interested in this case size a year ago.
