Dollar for dollar, the Grand Seiko is a superior piece of craftsmanship and horology to the Rolex. And it's still cheaper than the average stainless steel Rolex.
Even on a high-end Rolex, occasional blemishes and slightly misplaced markers can be seen on the dial. The Grand Rolex case, dial and bracelet is perfectly finished. The Zaratsu (samurai blade) hand-polishing is second to none; not even a Patek or Lange comes close. The entire movement is hand-assembled. Every part (movement, case, dial, bracelet) is made in-house.
As for accuracy, the Hi-Beat is regulated to specs tighter than an official Swiss Chronometer: +4 to -2 sec per day. (COSC: +6/-4; Rolex +5/-2).
Only drawback is the resale value - people still see a GS as a mass-market beater Seiko. But trust me, once you own a GS, you won't sell it.
Dear froggy, if you want to buy this watch, I suggest you read some blogs here.

Thank you for the insight I'll have a further look later. Yes the resale issue but I don't think I'd sell instead I usually pass on to others.
Alamak most of your recommendation I cannot even pronounce the names. Anyway what's your opinion on the Grand Seiko?
Just curious... Whats the price?
The birth of GS was followed by the success of the Tokyo Olympics and Seiko's victory at the astronomical observatory Concours.
