A beautiful example of the secondseries of Grand Seiko, the 57GS aka the "self dater". This particularwatch is a second iteration example from circa 1965 powered by the5722A movement.
This example is in wonderful condition, with both the dial, case and movement in fantastic condition. As an added bonus it also comes with a Seiko strap and buckle!

For those looking to add an example from this amazing brand you'd be hard to go far wrong with this stunning piece!
