Whether we argue it or not part of why we buy luxury watches is for their brand name recognition by friends and strangers. Most don't know the name Grand Seiko.... No idea it exists. For the dance money i think must world rather buy an Omegas or Tudor... For ak little less a Longines
@@AGC828 To each their own. I don't mind buying a watch to help build the brand especially when I appreciate not being jerked around in a dealership unlike in a Rolex AD or having to worry about whether my watch is real or fake. And I have something unique and most watch people which you probably are since you clicked on the video knows what Grand Seiko is. Rolex and Tudor had decades of marketing that non-watch people can identify with but I didn't buy this to impress them. Like I say in the video, its an expensive purchase but I was willing to take the risk because I was saving a lot buying this particular piece in Japan itself.
Speak for yourself, I’ve bought 25 watches over my watch collecting journey and not once I’ve bought it so people know I am wearing an expensive watch. 99% of people don’t care about watches
@@mainlymusicman You are right I wore it while I was in Tokyo after it was sized for me but the presentation of how the watch was sold to me was as shown and mentioned in the video. Grime is a bit harsh but yes, Zaratsu finishing picks up fingerprints easily. No intention to mislead.

Kinda expected from a Rolex snob type of comment
this is not the unboxing. the watch is full of grime and fingerprints.
you already wore the watch.
