Here’s Why Grand Seiko is Better than Rolex | Watchfinder & Co.

Показать описание

Why are you here? Why are you watching this? I’m going to assume you like watches, or at the very least saw the title and were intrigued. I mean you’ve got to like watches at least a little bit to be here; it’s a pretty niche topic to be exploring if you don’t. So, follow-up question: why do you like watches? I’m sure there are many reasons, and I expect the ability to tell the time is pretty far down that list. Here are what I think are the three main reasons—and three reasons why Grand Seiko just might be better than Rolex.

One week after purchasing my Snowflake, I went to a jeweller (different from whom I bought the watch, who do not sell GS) for a strap change. The vendor was indifferent when I tried different straps, but after I picked one and waited for the strap change, the clocksmith himself came to me from his back office praising how good my watch is and how rare it is to see one. I knew already that I've made the right decision but that confirmed it.

“Dials that could be hung on the wall at the worlds smallest art gallery” 😂 every video has a few one liners that are so accurate

Best line: When someone spots your Grand Seiko, you're more likely to have the type of watch conversation you want to have.

I'm an Australian guy watching a British guy talk about a Japanese watch on a channel that is owned by a Swiss company that was founded by a South African guy.

I'm a Rolex owner and I agree with pretty much every word of this. I love Rolex but I am acutely aware of how vast and rewarding the world beyond Rolex is. Own and enjoy a Rolex, but don't kid yourself that it's the pinnacle of watchmaking.

1st: The narrator is legendary. Why? We know why!

2nd: Grand Seiko should make a zen garden dial just imagine!!!

"Whatever Craftsmanship is in Japanese"... I believe they just call it "work" in Japan.

'Whatever craftsmanship is in Japanese is their middle name'

Seiko （精工）literally means refined craft.

I saved up for 13 months and lost 30kg, and I'm rewarding myself with a Snowflake. Should have it within the next 4 weeks. I cannot wait to put it on my wrist for the first time. My first luxury watch and I know I'll never sell it

When I see Rolex i feel doubt, when I see a GS I get goosebumps.

I first saw Grand Seiko last year in an upscale department store in Seoul. I thought it was a Rolex then noticed the GS logo. It was a stunningly beautiful piece of craftsmanship. In comparison Rolex is a utilitarian hammer. When I got into work on Monday I showed my fellow watch nut friend the photos and asked if he’d heard of Grand Seiko. As excitedly as you explained in the video he was also like a school boy telling me all about the brand and the backstory. Grand Seiko is the watch for the true watch connoisseur. Not some wannabe with no idea what he’s wearing on his wrist or why he’s wearing it.

Can we STOP talking about GS?! I don't want the price to go up more. Leave GS to us watch nerds and talk about the other brands like Rolex and AP instead.

"Is that Rolex real?"
"They probably also have one and chances are, it will be better."

Probably the biggest reasons why I'm extremely skeptical about buying a Rolex. I'd rather answer "What's a Grand Seiko?" than "is your Rolex real?"

LOVE the last line. I am more likely to have a conversation about watches with someone who is wearing a Grand Seiko than a Rolex. My boss wears a Rolex Submariner. I started chatting him up about the recent (at the time) record breaking sale of the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona that I read about. He had never heard of the daytona, or the knew anything about the headline.
