Thats a great collection. Hard to see but do you own a GS?

I don't own one currently, I appreciate them but the designs I like are special editions and while I have the clout to get most any Swiss/German watch I don't have any in the Grand Seiko world, so I would pay a premium.

There is really only one Seiko/GS/Credor I covet and that is the Seiko “Shinji Hattori Special Model” Limited Edition Watch For Japan. Shinji Hattori is the CEO of Seiko and in 2013 the 100th anniversary of Seiko they made 39 of the SCQE001. They made 39 because the pronunciation for 39 is the same as thank you. They have a whimsical engraving on the manual wind movement with the bespectacled Hattori represented as a fish because he is the Big Fish at Seiko. I don't really love the watch but I love the movement. I did get to see one in the collection of one of my Seiko crazy friends who has pretty much every US and Japanese GS and Credor special edition.
