I think the Grand Seiko is much more unique, and a better quality watch due to its finishing and movement. I am referencing the models such as the Shunbun or snowflake.
However, the aqua terra truly can make a one watch collection and I believe it to be more versatile. So it depends, will you get more watches in the future? If so the grand Seiko, you can make that the classy dress watch or casual daily. But the aqua terra can be dressed down easier in my opinion.
I've had both. Trust me, get a spring drive gs.
I’ve been eyeing the GS GMTs as a Christmas gift for my dad and I really love the way they look. I also love the spring drive movement.
At the end of the day you’ll be the one looking down at your wrist. Get which one will make you smile more when you do.
