daz1107 0 Posted April 28, 2019 Hope it's ok to post these here, but please move/delete if not. So we've been in Tokyo for a couple of weeks and stumbled into a Nissan store in Ginza (I'm a bit of a car buff as well as watches). Saw the new Grand Seiko GTR 50th Anniversary edition watch in a glass case so couldn't resist having a little look. The watch is stunning and from what I could make out, there are only 200 of them. The price was 2,200,000 Yen (about £15,500) Apologies that the photos are not great, but a strong light was reflecting off the case and I only had my phone with me to take the pics. I've added a pic of the car which goes with the watch, but none car buffs, please ignore!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,459 Posted April 28, 2019 No problem posting this here! Both the watch and car have the wow-factor but I think I prefer the car on this occasion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daz1107 0 Posted April 28, 2019 The car was amazing to be honest; the pic doesn't do it justice!! The white and red Nissan Fairlady (to its right side) was also really nice, but I didn't want to mention too much about the cars on a watch forum in case of a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,285 Posted April 28, 2019 That place is cool. That while area is cool! Did you get the pic of the concept car that was in the window? Fuck knows what it was, but it was incredible. I guess it might have changed since I went. Cool place though. There were a lot of Gen watches that could be seen on people's wrists in that neighborhood too!

Unfortunately, there wasn't a concept car in the window, they had the first GTR in production, which looked really nice... In an old car sort of way! The area where this was (Ginza) is a very high end place, with many top designer stores, including watch stores. And yes, there are many people wearing watches, which I presume were genuine. Should I win the euro millions, I would still be too poor to shop there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 15 years ago, I was lucky enough to go to a manufacturers open day at Millbrook testing ground and was driven around the high speed bowl by a pro driver, in a GTR. He restricted himself to 110mph as any faster, we wouldn't be covered under the insurance, but the car was amazing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,271 Posted April 28, 2019 Great post. Never saw a GS that I didn't like, until now Both cars beat the watch, hands down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
