So, what is in the big bundle, eh?

Oh, just an incredible 1971 Grand Seiko 5646-7010 (aka 56 GS Hi-Beat) with a 28,000 bph movement.

It is in fantastic condition, with a star-burst silver dial, and those "precision" hands.

I can't understand why it went cheap enough for me to snag, but I'm not complaining!!

The oh-so-lovely GS crown.

The "common" side.

And the case-back.

Notice the end-links of the bracelet, by the way, no clearance for getting the spring-pin out??

I was in a big hurry to get the strange bracelet off and get this watch onto a nice matte-black leather strap, but it took a few moments before I found the secret to removing this bracelet! 9zsmMNF

Very tricky!

WOW!

Just WOW! :-X

I'm speechless, which isn't easy!!

All of these were nice watches, but the last two were just stupendous!

Thanks for watching!

It seems harder and harder to find vintage Grand Seikos in such good condition.
