    If I was presented the option of which, I would always select the Grand Seiko. To me, the Grand Seiko is more art and Rolex is more hype.

      If you offered me the Rolex for free or the Grand Seiko GMT Spring Drive for $1k USD I would gladly pay the grand. Every time I walk into a Rolex AD and hear how absurd the words coming out of their mouths sound... as if such lunacy has become normal to them (Stockholm syndrome?) the more I wince when I hear what people pay for this mass produced brand. It's no longer about horology it becomes trying to impress the next worker bee. But all sincerely, my deepest regrets to those who received their Rolex as an family heirloom, at least your departed family member had the sense to buy at semi rational prices whilst keeping their dignity and self respect as retail shoppers.

      That's exactly what it is. Rolex have never innovated and, if you removed Rolex from the history of watcmaking, it basically wouldn't make a difference. Their watches are nicely finished but they're nothing special for engineering, technology or art. It's all just marketing.

      I would, too. But it was not like that before. Nowadays I do not consider Rolex as a watch for watch lovers but an investment pieces for those who buy to collect in safes to resell later (hoping for increase in value). Why would I spend 15k on YM42 when titanium SBGA463 costs new 5k?

      Except that hype and waiting lists are created by consumers and not manufacturers. It is simple demand versus supply... just like homes in very desirable areas.
      Rolex sold 1.2 million watches in 2023. That is all that they can make. They have been doing what they do for decades. We the people want more... and some consumers are flippers that create inflated prices in the secondary market.

    Under "innovations", you left out one of Rolex's most important new ideas. They were the first watchmaker to come up with the idea of telling you that you're not yet worthy to purchase one of their watches, and to join a waitlist if you hoped to maybe be allowed to buy one in the future.

    I don't own either watch brand yet, I am a fairly new watch collector. I sport a Tissot Visodate powermatic 80 gold dial and a Seiko SPBJ121 Alpinist.
    Having done a lot of research in starting my collection (which, btw, thank you for all the content and all the insightful comments. It's helped a lot in my education. Love this community), I would say I aspire to own a GS before ever owning a Rolex. Solely for the reason that I started collecting for a beauty of the art form and the engineering in the movement. A Rolex would be cool, but I'd just feel more proud of a GS because of the intentionality behind its inception and what I want my collection to look like.

    • @jpdemer5
      @jpdemer5 Год назад +3

      The Precisionist movement is a battery-powered quartz mechanism from Citizen, and what makes it precise is the high frequency of the crystal: 262 KHz, vs the 32.8 KHz of a standard quartz watch. The ticking of the seconds hand is simply too fast to see. Spring Drive is a mechanical movement driven by a mainspring; a quartz crystal is used to regulate the speed at which the gears are allowed to turn. There's no escapement, and no ticking, hence the perfectly smooth seconds hand motion.

    @Alecd2023 Год назад +13

    I love and own watches from both brands (GS SBGA413 and a Rolex GMT Master II). Both have pros and cons - I wouldn’t necessarily say one is better than the other!
    I love how the Grand Seiko completely flies under the radar and is therefore more understated. The dial is undeniably more interesting - that's what initially attracted me to the brand. The case finishing is superior to Rolex. It’s just a more interesting watch overall that I really enjoy wearing from time to time. However, one downside of the funky/interesting dial is that it’s far less versatile than my other watches. Frankly, I hope Grand Seiko doesn’t get too popular because I really like how much of an unknown it is to most people (apart from watch enthusiasts that is).
    Hands down, the Rolex feels more solidly built and the proportions of the watch are just better. The bracelet is way ahead of anything Grand Seiko offers (I have the jubilee). Even little things like the snappy date change or the strong click of the micro extension give the watch a very robust feel. For those reasons, it has become my go-to watch and I have a tough time taking it off. I own more watches than just these two, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the GMT is the only watch in my collection that I’d truly never sell; it’d be a perfect watch for a one-watch collection. For me, the biggest cons are (1) the stigma around Rolex, and (2) how long I had to wait for one to become available (~2 years).

    I have given up on GS now.
    They were fun for a while but cannot wait any longer for a bracelet that fits me.
    They could make a stunning watch but insist on churning out the same old designs and hoping the whacky dials will keep people interested.

    Grand Seiko - excellence at an affordable price. E.g Sbgn003. Also no security worries wearing in cities.

    to sum up, all the ancestors of GS employee whispering to their ears "do your best, keep innovating, be creative, be artistic and finnish the hell out of that watch" while Rolex manager yell over the loudspeaker "make more money".

    If there's a way to change for the better it must be *AWM23K* . I had lost all hope with the decisions our big guys make which just keeps their power and imbalance up. Maybe at some point basic people like me and you have to take over, right?

    Rolex quality? I have a 16610, 23 years old….still kicking ass. I’ve serviced it 2x….wait, maybe 3 but it gets the most wrist time. I love the rattling bracelet. I’m marveled that it is just as good as it was when it was new. Well, even better IMO because he has withstood all this time. I think trying to compare what Rolex is providing versus what GS does, is not really something to fairly compare. I have a SMP300, love it as well but it scratches a different design itch than my Rolexes (and Zeniths, Tudor). I’ve been eyeing a couple GS models, they scratch a different itch for me though. I will love it as well when I pull the trigger.

    People who may have some issue with the name Seiko because of its shop mall models...Mercedes Benz sells the S class, Maybach spec and plenty of high end AMG models. It also sells the C class, and the A class. You can get on a Mercedes bus and drive past Mercedes delivery vans and trucks...
    Doesn't seem to hurt the MB brand that much...

    GS doesn't care much about profit margin or at least, it is not a priority. Although they reuse certain dials in new paint, they do push themselves to make art pieces (rather than time pieces) that speak to people.
    Rolex does. hence, Rolex plays it safe and sells a lot more watches and earns a lot more money.

  • @VicharB

    GS is definitely better than Rolex, but then Rolex has the world rolling thanks to its marketing techniques. The finishing on GS is simply just on another level. Period.

  • @L2snakegold
    @L2snakegold Год назад +13

    Heres my quick two cents as a very small collector. Rolex blows grand seiko out of the water with its tool/sports watches and grand seiko blows rolex out the water with its dress watches. Those dials on the omiwatari, snowflake etc! Class. For rolex the GMT and submariner are timeless.

    • @barrycolmer324
      @barrycolmer324 Год назад

      Hard to argue that point. However, I feel it is a matter of time before GS put that right. Something is not quite right with their sports watches, but soon to be rectified. the Rolex sub is so iconic and that sells no matter what. Id rather have the new Yachtmaster Titanium though. that thing is awesome

    • @L2snakegold
      @L2snakegold Год назад +1

      @barrycolmer324. If GS figures out sports watches that'd be the day! I do believe that GS will start having a waitlist for certain models. I'm about to pick up the omiwatari from GS, and I've been on the weightlifting for a pepsi and green bezel sub. We'll see if it ever happens. Every day that passes, I just look at gret market prices lmao.

    • @barrycolmer324
      @barrycolmer324 Год назад

      @@L2snakegold Congrats on the GS Omiwatari, it is truly stunning to both look at and wear. Which one are you going for? I recently picked up the white dial version on bracelet and it is mesmerising. Recently sold my Tudor Pepsi, but the Rolex original would be ace Im sure, although Ive never seen one in the flesh.

    • @L2snakegold
      @L2snakegold Год назад +1

      @barrycolmer324 the GS I'm going to get is the SBGY007. I was lucky enough to have a watch shop allow me try on a pepsi. Took a picture of it on my wrist. I hope it will help with the manifestation of the watch!
