Frumos. Dar si pretul este pe masura.
In afara de un pasionat, sunt curios cati ar da banii astia pe un Seiko, care in acceptul general fac ceasuri bune si ieftine. Poate prin Asia.

Cel mai probabil foarte putini sau chiar nimeni. Cu siguranta marea majoritate ar opta la acei bani pt. ceva elvetian sau german. Eu as alege acest GS (HB-36) din mai multe motive. Luati in calcul ca varianta ''dark-green'' prezentata in link este de raritate extrema, doar 200 buc. fabricate. Cel ''white'' nu e LE dar oricum tot de serie mica.

Sa stii ca exista solutii pentru asemenea viteze ! Materialele sunt altele ! aici este vorba de precizie si performanta !
Cu lamele iti dau dreptate desi 3 lame sunt mai bune decat 2 ! Pe bune

sicone, depinde ce vrei de la un ceas!
36k iti permite sa masori 1/100 sec, drept pt care chonometrele sportive (stop-watch) utilizate, de ex. la Olimpiada, aveau marea majoritatea 36.000 Bph.
De ce crezi ca printre chronograph-urile automatice Zenith El Primero detine un loc special? Sa fie doar marketing? De ce Rolex Daytona echipat cu ZEP este cel mai cautat?
