The "Grand Seiko 44GS" that arrived today is
This is a valuable item known as the "Phantom GS" due to its short production period of just two years.
This time, we have the gold-plated case 4420-9990 in stock for the first time in several years.
The design we previously received was called Seiko Style.
The 4420-9000 stainless steel model is relatively common in the 44GS.
The gold-plated case this time has the same case design as the King Seiko.
It features sturdy, thick lugs.
The second hand also has a bulge at the tip,
You can see the details that can only be seen in a gold-plated case.
There is also a Kameido factory mark on the 6 o'clock side of the dial.
Manufactured at the Kameido factory, which was the main manufacturer of King Seiko.
This is the first Grand Seiko, and it is a very mysterious series.
This specimen is in very good condition,
The case has some small scratches, but they are within the acceptable range.
The dial is in excellent condition with no noticeable damage.
The needles are still in good condition, and it is rare to see an individual like this.
The buckle is also an original part from that time.
I am confident that this alone is a very valuable item.
Basically, the accessories, including the buckle, are gone.
It's been several years since we've seen such an original specimen.
No, I think it happens maybe once every few decades.
All 44GS models have large case sizes and a voluminous feel.
However, since it is a non-date hand-wound model, the design is simple,
It is designed so that it doesn't feel too big when worn.
There are still many mysteries surrounding the 44GS series and no accurate information has been revealed.
Therefore, it is an irresistible item for vintage lovers,
It's an even more satisfying feeling when you get something in good condition.
This time, it is in a more beautiful state than ever before,
If you're looking to get your hands on a vintage Seiko model, you can't miss out.
Like the others, there won't be any more of these available, so be sure to get in quick!
