Kevin never missing an opportunity to not let the guy finish a sentence.

[@marcuna11]

Yes! He reminds me of Producer Michael.

[@VRGNHNS]

does he realize this?

[@IncoG8]

Really annoying and also rude!

[@ReneAlexisPenalozaMunoz]

It's called overinflated ego. Lol

[@user-yo8iw4ed9u]

He is excited about it, hence the eagerness, which means he really belives how good Grand Seiko's watches are.

[@BraddPaisley]

Kevin is an overall watch expert but that's not what this video was about. It was about the new GS watches and the new technology, methods, features, and offerings, which no expert knew about until GS announced it.

[@rodgertim2881]

Investing in a luxury watch like a Grand Seiko can be an exciting but intricate financial decision. The value of these watches can appreciate over time, making them potential assets. However, maintenance costs and depreciation should be considered.

[@ZhannaDavidova]

Absolutely, It's not just about owning a beautiful watch but also understanding the market trends. Consulting a watch investment specialist or a financial advisor with expertise in alternative investments can help navigate the complexities and ensure you make informed decisions.

[@BarbaraPearson55]

I couldn't agree more. In my case, I've been eyeing a GS as a passion investment. With my current financial standing, I'm contemplating whether it's a wise move. Any advice on how to approach this decision?

[@LSBContractingLLC]

On your own you could seek out several of these financial advisors, make sure the one you settle on is a fiduciary and not a fake. Know what you're getting out of it and see if your targets can be met.

[@ClayneBanks]

My family got introduced to a financial consultant Eric Paul Elmer about four years before my dad retired. That was what changed things, and I think my retirement income will be on the right track, luxury cars and trips.

[@eabhaconnor2]

Now I get the corporate & product difference between S and GS. It sounds like the same craftsmanship difference between Lexus models and the limited Lexus LFA, made by the very best craftsman in a separate plant. I bought a GS version. It was one of the the greatest moments of my life as I saved 10 years to buy that watch. I flew from Amsterdam to London and took a coffee after 3 hours went back. Now I can do a little research and hopefully find out what what she is worth.

[@michealpnoel]

Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $65million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.

[@stevenorris1]

How did you grow your portfolio to $65m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?

[@michealpnoel]

I have a financial expert (trader) who grows my liquid assets. I then reinvest the weekly payouts into real estate and long-term ETFs.

[@stevenorris1]

Sure, could you please share her name with me or any details so I can look her up online? Thanks!

[@michealpnoel]

She is well known as - Diana Leayani Lara. please do your own research.

Kevin needs to stop cutting off the expert. I want to learn about the watches. There were several times the GS guy was trying to highlight something and Kevin cut him off mid-sentence. I'm a fan of yours, Kevin, but please let the man finish!

[@joegil8955]

Kevin is a very trump-esque fellow, I imagine in his private life he isnt listening to people for that long, just says what he wants to. I believe that really shows when hes talking to people who arent working for him.

[@damachine3]

@joegil8955 Trump-esque? There's always someone that feels the need to bring politics into everything. It's tiring.

[@joegil8955]

@@damachine3 What are you talking about? I didnt mention any politics. Kevin is like Trump, if kevin finds something mundane about a watch for the first time, he would say 'nobody knew' (imagine trump flailing his arms saying that lol). He has a lot of the same mannerisms.

[@todoroki]

The Brand guy was waffling far too much, Kevin was right to interject to cut to the chase!

[@Abelram1153]

Kevin IS an expert 😀

[@ihatekpeng]

Stop interrupting your guests.

When you’re that rich you deserve to interrupt anyone you want😂

[@davidtomsett]

He always does

[@supersharpblades5673]

I find the guy so irritating!

[@AngelRivera-fp9md]

He went to Teddy's store and called him a cockroach to his face. Maybe he was just being playful but I found it a little bit disrespectful.

I'm pretty sure, in person, these Grand Seiko watches look even more astonishing!

[@CrownRider]

Proud owner of the Shunbun and Tentagraph here. I keep looking at these masterpieces. The design details and craftsmanship are stunning.

[@cunninghamianm]

Did anyone realize Kevin was such a dial guy?

[@aintnomeaning]

I hear he prefers red bands as well, can anyone confirm?

[@halua1969]

Words on the street that he's considering wearing two watches at the same time, needs confirmation though

[@marcuna11]

I was wondering if he approves on Grand Seiko polishing……..

[@nealdranoff6426]

​@@aintnomeaningYes, he strongly likes red bands. They're all he basically wears.

[@andrewbardwell1763]

Lol

[@arlopoetiray5534]

Always enjoy Kevin’s content when it comes to watches…thank you Kevin for sharing this…Grand Seiko is not only about dials…but also the movement etc…amazing perfection at its best…

[@mikefunderburk7965]

Grand Seiko is truly crushing lately. Incredible to have such diversity of styles here and to have so many that are absolutely top notch.

[@d.stiefel869]

If by crushing it you mean sitting still like stagnant pond water then yes… absolutely crushing it. 😂

[@matt4590]

Joe is so good at what he does, GS is lucky to have him

[@ahsan101]

Bought an SLGH013 on a recent trip to Japan. Couldn't be happier. The dial is a work of art

[@ORIHAKIMI]

Hi Kevin, love your content, and your consistent uploads are much appreciated. Your recent videos are at 1080p and I wanted to suggest to consistently filming at 4K. 4K became more accessible nowadays and also for filming a standard. It would help us appreciate the timepieces more. Keep up the good work.

[@haybob2527]

I own 2 GS watches in my collection a vintage H-B and a Modren H-B..And I love both of them..❤❤

[@vintko]

Kevin and Joe, can you please convince Grand Seiko to make a new bracelet with a strong taper and micro-adjusts?

[@kirkwcowgill]

I like their bracelets. They have a strong 90s Japanese vibe that is so classic to me.

[@richardbonanno7236]

I second that

[@shukail111]

Oh my god, the red dial watch... amazing

[@airstripone2419]

Ordered one. Delivery in July.

[@MAKESQ]

Grand Seiko is certainly distinctive with their eye-catching, intriguing highly finished craftsmanship and designs and movements. In my opinion, they represent real value when compared to the standard Swiss brands.

[@inavag3038]

bought my first seiko 2 years ago and now im heading for a grand seiko. i always knew that they are different!

[@Gunshow86]

I'm really getting into GS. Awesome quality and very unique without any of the games that other ADs play.

[@kimcoulter806]

Really appreciate you doing this video Kevin. Best dials in horology bar none.

[@kpf8186]

Went shopping for the Spring Drive Chronograph SBGC275 and this would be my first big boy watch purchase. Really spectacular. I shop 5 hours after this video drops and it is already sold out.

[@troyknode818]

look at my note about the dial. You could really impress Kevin what that little bit of verbal knowledge.

[@user-fu1yp6lq2c]

Thank you so much nkuwan for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer

[@johnb9981]

I love the Red Chrono. The color changing and textured dial looks so good!

[@airstripone2419]

Ordered one. Delivery in July.

[@immytayy7346]

Beyond gorgeous, every one of these pieces, my favourite GS at the moment is actually one that I own, the SBGJ275. Looking forward to grabbing another GS soon! Hopefully at Teddy's store.

[@LinkLayer]

I love how he has made a special watch band a part of his personal brand. I did this with a series of watches made by Nixon a long time ago when they started making "The Rocker" with multi piece fat leather bands. Mixed and matched until I had my own 100% unique band that nobody else had. It was a HUGE conversational piece amongst my peers at the time. FUN STUFF!

[@BestOfTate23]

Kevin you are rich enough to post in 4k, especially showing timepieces with such incredible details, it is important

[@_IMNNO]

GS has been crushing it with their dials and world class movements.

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Thank you for this video. Now, I totally understand the difference between Seiko and Grand Seiko. Similar names but very different details between these brands. Love the diamond shaped cases on some of these Grand Seiko models as this really helps to differentiate their brand design (aside from amazing dials and also insanely accurate movements). These releases are mind blowing. Wonderful video!

[@SpringRubber]

I just watched something with price points I would never buy but it was interesting. Good job, Joe! Very apropos that Mr. O'Leary has an ad - on his own channel, LOL - for watch insurance. I like Kevin and maybe he has a good plan for reducing the US Debt. As for Grand Seiko, I totally admire the craftsmanship. Spring Drive, non-precious metals, distinctive and classic face, - that would be my choice.

[@michaelberke9709]

Now I get the corporate & product difference between S and GS. It sounds like the same craftsmanship difference between Lexus models and the limited Lexus LFA, made by the very best craftsman in a separate plant.

[@Sknapps92]

I like this analogy! Makes great sense

[@kellingtonlink956]

I really appreciate this video. It was very insightful. It certainly highlighted their new lineup’s quality. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@halua1969]

What thoughts lmao, it's always dial this dial that

[@kellingtonlink956]

Perhaps you watched a different video. Though he did focus ‘a bit more’ on dials, So… fair enough.

[@jaimemello17]

Such beautiful watches! I am a big GS fan!

[@jtee9548]

It's great seeing the things that you can't get because of limited quantities. A bit surprised about the less expensive models that are also limited.

[@SteamboatWillie-vx1ud]

They are limited because they know it’s hard enough to find a sucker willing to buy 1 of them let alone sell 100 to 1,000 of them.

[@KalvinSmithWarriorsPathSystema]

Wonderful, entertaining and very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@shawnmartin1306]

I was waiting to hear micro adjust clasp 🤷‍♂️ I own 3 GS that I love but I still refuse to buy anymore until they introduce a micro adjustment on the bracelets. At least on the sports models put a tool less micro adjust on the clasp.

[@troyknode818]

DIAL NOTE!!! The SBGC275 dial motif reflects the morning view of the Hotaka Moutain range, its manufacturing site. Kevin would love saying that about a dial.

[@Aoelx]

All this talk about craftsmanship, I really hope GS can do some updates to their bracelets! 👏👏

Great interview. Good question about the difference between seiko and Grand Seiko. Is Credor and King Seiko also made in the Grand Seiko Factory?

[@Moshikokotashima]

there is no occation or place to wear a skeletonized watch other than showing off. no matter how beautifully its made, and showing off is just not some people's cup of tea. those watches with dials however are mouth watering.

[@sagar.ganatra]

Grand Seiko's are so good and they offer so much value compared to its swiss counterparts. I will own one at some point and that's my motivation to work

[@joesmith-th3jq]

Since GS is now more known than ever, I bet there watches will skyrocket in price in a few years, once they gain full recognition. What models?

[@jeejkee6471]

The video kinda shows the subtle dial on the GMT. I think it’s a winner.

In 2019 I bought a Seiko spirit for 1.200$.A couple of years ago,I tried selling for 250$.I had it advertized in 3 different sites,18 months went by and I didn't receive a single offer.End up giving it to my brother in law.

[@richardsinclair9449]

I have 57 watches in my collection and you can't beat the Grand Seiko 36000 GS in 18k gold cap on ss... And I think that is 6 beats per second......................... £800.00 for a good model... And it is vintage like the rest of my seikos ....... Then we have the 18K King Seiko... Love my vintage collection...

[@user-rs8sy3if7o]

When people are saying #nkuwan is a better option,I very much agree!

[@dud3n355]

If I understand correctly, Grand Seiko has the more trained employees of Seiko (10+ years). Then what about the Seiko Spring Drive? I have a Seiko Spring Drive, not a Grand Seiko Spring Drive so I am curious where the quality difference is there. (It's a < 2012 one but still....)

[@Teleman01]

There's nothing like a solid gold watch. If I could only buy three watches, I would almost guarantee you that every watch, whatever the brand, would be solid 18 karat yellow gold. There is no comparison

[@lloydyu24]

I am a huge fan of Seiko, and GS. Have a number of 9f movements. Outstanding accuracy! Have a few spring drives. The sbga413, and 429 both run at plus .5 sec a day. Have an older sbga111 that runs at 0. Amazing watches. Then we have high beats. My sla039 with a 8L55 movement ran at plus 14 sec. Really? Went back to Japan , to be regulated. Now plus 7. Traded in my shunbun for a black birch. Love the birch. Understated, quality watch! Very happy with it.........except......the high beat runs about plus 6 sec a day. Why???? I have old Seiko divers with 4R movements that run at plus 3. Just got an omega ti seamaster planet ocean. Believe from 2011. So far it looks like it is running at minus 1 sec. Kind of what I should be getting from my black birch😠

Why do I get the feeling that after the filming wrapped, Mr. Wonderful took a few hundred thousand out of his wallet, plopped it down on the table and walked out of there with the watches they were showing in the video. He’s clearly a fan.

[@d.stiefel869]

I don’t think Kevin is that dumb. Maybe they gave him the watches for free to try and promote their garbage. That would be a lot more believable.

[@davidhunternyc1]

I've never liked the two different clashing fonts on the GS and Grand Seiko logos. I don't get it. The historic logo that's on the Starry Night SBGW314 must be used on all Grand Seikos. It's this font which separates the Japanese from the modern European houses. Also, at the end of this video, Kevin talks about Grand Seiko being the most accurate watch in the world. That WAS true with their Spring Drive but not anymore. The most accurate watch in the world is the Citizen 0100.
