Grand Seiko Japan-market prices are increasing for all models. This is part of a long trend of Seiko/GS moving upmarket.

Additionally, it’s been an open secret that you can literally buy a round trip ticket to Japan and buy a Grand Seiko there for less than a US dealer.

This is due to the very weak JPY right now, and GS probably doesn’t like it.

If you’ve been fence-sitting about importing one from Japan, prices change on April 4!

Good to see some content, and thanks for the heads up.

Interesting. Seiko wants but will the market follow?

I guess we'll see how much the increase is.

Over the past 2-3 years I found GS watches have gone from good value to just fair.

And I'm not sure they have the brand differentiation from plain Seiko, outside watch nerds, to carry it.
