What did you think.

Grand Seiko, a brand that Japan is proud of around the world, has a large number of watches with beautiful dials that have been created with a unique stance. The models that made the list this time are also attractive, with designs unlike any other. Not only are they very popular in Japan, but they are also attracting a lot of attention from around the world, so the day may soon come when they are "almost gone on the market."
