Grand Seiko for sure. Anyone who’s just buying expensive watches for conspicuous consumption would balk at the Seiko nameplate, but anyone who’s really into watches recognizes the quality and gorgeous design.

Grand Seiko is definitely an “inside baseball” pick.

Driving a Lexus says absolutely nothing about the driver. Same with Grand Seiko.

Driving an LFA, GSF or an LC 500 says a lot. Each of those cars competes with a very specific set of other vehicles, and the one you choose says something about you. Lexus has a position and a brand identity that competes with other manufacturers and people choose them based on that.

Good take!

Then I would ask them to remain still for a while so I could just fixate on the smooth spring drive movement. Shhhhh….. just one more time around.
