Grand Seiko has built a serious enthusiast following in South Africa in the last few years, and clean Spring Drive and Hi-Beat references now sell readily. It is a brand many owners underestimate when they come to sell.
What we look at
Reference number and dial texture matter enormously here, since so much of the value sits in specific dials. Zaratsu-polished cases show hairlines easily, so honest condition photos help us quote accurately first time.
