It's very popular, not underrated at all

[–] J-Stan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No one underrated this model lol

[–] Due-Law-8356@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I see a pic of this watch like everyday on this sub

[–] Cleanandslobber@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Underrated in the sense that OP wants you to tell him how great he is and how little praise he's gotten for wearing such a timepiece.

OP feels underrated.

[–] slupo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's underrated to an average watch person.

[–] fspyrofs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe OP meant underpriced, which would make a lot of sense

It is pretty underrated in my circle and city, you get to see Rolex and Omega usually everywhere here, and most do not even know Grand Seiko.

“Most people don’t even know Grand Seiko”

Buddy, most normal people don’t even know Omega. We’re in a watches sub where everyone knows all the brands.

[–] LaplacePS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Buddy, that's like saying Bayern Munich is underated team because it's not that know by Americans, or that Citizen Kane is also underated because people haven't heard of it.

Came here for this

Next on r/Watches:

“Seiko 5, underrated gem I think 🤔 “

Underrated by people who aren’t into watches

[–] Bombstar10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not an underrated watch but as always, looks great on the wrist and a good choice.

Never quite vibed with the crown on these GS models but cool nonetheless.

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The quality is quite good

[–] A_Highwayman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They probably look amazing in person, but I always have a hard time for textured dials even though I love the idea

[–] Manuag_86@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As good looking as the dial finishing is, I will always dislike the power reserve implementation, it just makes no sense to me the position and the arch orientation.

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw that it was flipped, lower means + lol

[–] lmmo1977@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why underrated?

[–] BluesMaster@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Please show this to fellow GS fans at https://www.reddit.com/r/GrandSeikos/

[–] IIIllIlIIIlIIllIIllI@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you even understand what the word “underrated” means?

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is pretty underrated in my circle and city, you get to see Rolex and Omega usually everywhere here, and most do not even know Grand Seiko.

[–] MaybeFineMaybeFucked@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love this watch but hate the bracelet. Wish they had some other options for the titanium

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is not the best, but not too bad

[–] RWDS7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah. Not underrated at all. Don't try to sound profound. Rather, it is "correctly" rated everywhere.

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When did I try to sound profound? Please tell me professor.

[–] ChipKellysShoeStore@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look at that subtle off white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it. It even has a watermark.

[–] Adnan-K@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Let's see Paul Allen's watch

[–] GrandTheftPotatoE@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn, first there was Witcher 3, now the gem in the most popular GS model.

[–] sercheeco@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My favorite watch, it can't be underrated!

[–] Jonny_____@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe underrated in terms of quality and total sales in comparison to equivalent watches which are highly sought after by the general public such as Rolex and Omega, but certainly not underated by r/watches standards

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You don't really get to see them in the wild, ever. Even though I think they are good enough to stand with base Rolex and Omega models.

[–] 0-10NA@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can we delete this post with obvious Baity title.

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] LaplacePS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Sure_Faithlessness40@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It might actually be the most overrated watch in recent times lol

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have you not heard of RM or Hublot?

[–] LaplacePS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Do you see a lot of them in your circles?

Those brands might be squarely in underrated territory now, given how much everyone shits on them without owning or trying one on

[–] Celica88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is “underrated” in the room with us?

[–] FluffyWarHampster@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't call the Shunbun underrated. its the watch that even the most vehement grand Seiko haters admit is still fucking beautiful

[–] SDAredditor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree it’s underrated in the sense that it should stand side by side with the Rolexes at its price point.

Sure, it doesn’t have the heritage or legacy that the Swiss brands do, but any watch that innovates a movement like that.. oof

That certainly deserves more credit imo. Yet these are some of the easier high end ones to grab, if I’m not mistaken, as opposed to the exclusivity of Rolex

[–] mushbee1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the sweep seconds glide is insane on this. Spring Drive should get some more credit.

[–] greyspurv@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is stunning and a gem but underrated I think now. GS is really famous and cherished and known for their excellent quality.

[–] AbsolutlynotaRaven@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They have very pretty watches

[–] jay231jay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Coala_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's pretty rated. At least on this sub.

[–] Staar-69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is it underrated? I only ever see positive comments regarding most GS watches, but this model in particular.

[–] LookingForwardToDie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not at all underrated. Probably the most popular grand seiko in the west.

[–] Electronic_Bet_9919@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not on here, filled with GS fanboys.
