I like how Joe finally saw the thing about mechanical watches. He used to make fun of watch people. Till he saw a mechanical movement in operation. They are like tiny cities everything working in unison. If one thing is off the entire thing stops. Screws that look like a grain of sand. The thing with mechanical watches I find interesting is Is the introduction of new complications.The new interesting design of the train wheel layout. Or bring old complications back. I'd love to see more mechanical watches with alarm functions. The tiny striker hitting the chime. Idk just something about taking a well established quartz watch with an Alarm function and going back to days of Pocket watch complications. Making them even smaller. Vulcains Cricket is a awesome example. Then there is also the race to make the thinnest mechanical movement. Some are less than a thin quartz watch. This is a Automatic watch. Thinner than 5 credit cards stacked.

@@DCfreerunnerhis analogy was literally that both are Lexus, and one is just a higher end Lexus. They aren’t the same company

[@shahrukhhasib5047]

I'd still buy a Seiko over a Grand Seiko. Much better value.

[@jonweitz7608]

Probably the best watch money can buy

[@Hvantmiki]

That is a mattet of opinion. But it sure is fantastic for the price. You have to buy a Patek or a A. Lange & Söhne to get anywhere near it. And a Grand Seiko for 10k is better than a budget A. Lange & Söhne to 10k

[@edgeorge785]

like a tudor v a rolex. Same company but Grand Seiko is a far more expensive watch cause the movement is a work of art.

[@Markus.Vidal247]

I just wish they had more exciting designs.

[@pijusa7185]

Grand seiko is a passat at best

[@davidwan6112]

Nah… Seiko is Toyota. Grand Seiko is Lexus. Snowflake is IS 500 F sport. They don’t have a LFA yet :)

[@1nf1ni7e_GG]

Orient: Toyota. Seiko: Toyota-Lexus. GS: Lexus-Lexus LFA. The movement and finish from dial to bracelet is just too good on most GS imo

[@cibdizzy]

I like those indiglo Ironman watches they cost around 80$ here in Canada

[@HookersAndCoke]

If I could get my hands on a GS Snowflake or Summer with the green dial and gold markers, I’d never let them out of my possession. Incredible watches

[@paceyombex]

Seiko beat the Swiss so hard in the accuracy competition, the Swiss stopped holding it.

[@keesketsers5866]

Oh really? Springdrive is quartz so that doesnt count. Rolex does +2/-2, the best Grand Seiko automatic does -1/+8. Nowhere NEAR Rolex.

[@paceyombex]

@@keesketsers5866 First of all, that's not the context of my comment. I'm reffering to the chronometer competition in the 60s where Seiko *decimated* the Swiss. Maybe stop the bootlickin' first so you could see more clearly. Them ass cheeks be huge sometimes. Second, If you said springdrive *IS* quartz, then the discussion end there. Tell me you don't know about springdrive without telling me you don't know about springdrive. Third, Seiko always under promise and over deliver, even with their low-end movement, so in real life case you'll see user report with accuracy close, or even better than Rolex.

[@infernalstan886]

Ah yes, smooth seconds hands - a great way to not be able to keep track of individual seconds 😂

[@Liamthewaldo]

You can easily keep track of individual seconds it has them marked on the dial you just watch the sweep

[@zwenkwiel816]

@@Liamthewaldo dude kind of has a point though, the rhythm of the second hand can help a lot with counting. don't really see the benefit of a smooth movement though. (other than showing off I guess)

[@johnhernandez4734]

That's why you buy a watch with a chrono dipshit lol

[@Mark-sd7fc]

JOE has a very nice VERY EXPENSIVE WATCH COLLECTION

[@FordSierraIS]

this is the moment rogan became grandseikoberg

[@N3m3sls]

The spring drive is insane!

[@indigocoolvinyl00]

I have a Seiko watch from 1971 thats automatic, ie it winds itself by my arm movements using a weight that gravity pulls as I move my arm.

[@akeemhimself]

feels like joe did so well cause he's basically a curious kid that gets to talk to people about their weird hobbies and stories

[@souhardyabaishnab7978]

It's weird that most people when talking about spring drive movement talk about the smooth sweep instead of accuracy.

[@愛らしいコヌル]

The grand father clock is a clasic 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@9richy6bram8]

That sweep is really nice cant lie if you really pay attention it turns smoothly.

[@user-ik5mn8qv5z]

It’s interesting to see that even Swiss are manufacturing quartz movement with precision like Grand Seiko 9F movements (+-10sec /year) But Swiss is not so loud about it for some weird reasons…

[@ntag411]

The Spring drive is not mechanical, it's a hybrid. Winds like a mechanical and uses that power to regulate the speed of a constant velocity wheel electroically.

[@newgunguy4176]

This is the kinda guy who knows just a bit more than people who don't know anything at all and loves to talk like he's an expert.

[@randomwifi]

Virtually no difference but just shinier and prettier

[@MattH-wg7ou]

So many sleep on Grand Seikos. In person they are so beautiful, the snowflake dial and the SMOOOTH sweep of the second hand. Lovely watches.

[@xIMxMCLOVINx]

I love the concept of grand seikos! I have a basic seiko diver and love it.

[@BlessedAssurance.]

If you're intrigued by the visual of the sweeping second hand, but not enough to pay 10g's. Bulova offers the Precisionist watches, with an impressively smooth quartz movement. It might not be an heirloom, it definitely won't impress the label queens out there, but it could satisfy your need for a timepiece with a feature you enjoy.

[@drbobvs]

👍

[@J.Jonah.Jameson.]

They sit on your wrist and look pretty while you check the time. It's jewelry with function. Don't overcomplicate it.
