While the Pepsi GMT is iconic, there is just something great about being able to walk into the GS boutique and pick up the GS257. No need to spend a certain amount to be placed on a waitlist. The sheer availability, and a fraction of the price no less, is what did it for me, even if the Rolex has stronger brand value. Plus, the movement of the seconds hand on this thing is smooth like butter.

Regarding accuracy, most of us have found that the Rolex 3285 is much, much more accurate than +/- 2 sec per day. I check my Rolex accuracy from time to time, and variation is generally around a half second up or down every few days. Similarly, based on others' user experience, your typical Seiko Spring Drive is much more accurate than the rated +/- 0.5 sec per day. FWIW, I last set my BLRO to time.is in November 2023 and I haven't wound it or adjusted anything except the date and DST since then (as you know, the watch runs while you adjust those things), and my watch is currently +1.5 seconds *over the last 8 months* compared to time.is. Crazy accurate for a mechanical watch.

No one will buy this strategy. They should have MAX 3 model lines and stick to the classic aesthetics of the 45GS case shape and 5-6 dial variations based on whatever they want and make it a special moment, that purity IS Grand Seiko.... Their sport watches the GMTs and Divers, they are trying too hard and it shows, too busy dials, massive sizes (are they stuck in 2000s??)...just these watches will go down in history as ........nonconsequential. Their dress watches, maaan they are overplaying the Japanese aesthetic crap and shoving it down peoples throats whereas in the past it was free-flowing, natural and effortless.
