Grand Seiko STGF387

Some owners find the diamonds unappealing, and others wish for a larger, diamond-free version for unisex appeal. There is a desire for a Spring Drive movement in a smaller case, though one owner chose quartz for its simplicity. The finishing and quality are considered by some to be on par with or exceeding Swiss luxury brands.
