Finally got my grail watch. A birth year, birth month Grand Seiko 3180 First with carved logo from December 1960. A birthday present from my wife and she's a keeper. Nicely patinated and not perfect but plenty of character.
I’m sure your wife will be very pleased to hear she’s a keeper. Enjoy the watch. It’s a handsome looking thing.

Very nice. Must admit I would be very tempted to have the dial cleaned though. If it was possible. Fallingup said:
Grrrrr.....Thanks for that, the nearest I can find at the moment is this from Amazon USA.
Seiko Men's SNKN43 Analog Display Automatic Self-Wind Black Watch - SNKN43 for £146.43 including duties and delivery. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RZCX1CA/ref=cm_sw_r...
My concern is the movement is the 7s26 not the 4r36. Anyone got experience of accuracy of the 7s26?

-20 to +40 seconds per day I think , accuracy is not its strong point however its a solid workhorse of a movement, no hacking or handwinding is its biggest shortfall imo Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
