(Seiko) Credor Eichi II Blue Porcelain Dial Grand Seiko Credor Watch Review 

That would probably be my absolute grail

Wow, you are 100% correct about the rose gold

If I am correct you can get it in rose gold with a white dial

They just announced a blue dial/yellow gold version. Look it up.

Looks and sounds like one of those cheap brands you see on Ali Express

Maybe it's to do with production numbers. I think they make only a few dozen of these a year, whereas they make a lot more Grand Seiko, so they probably prioritize marketing those in order to sell as many as they can

クレドールが広告などのマーケティングに力を入れないのは、昔から買ってくれていた顧客や、自らここにたどり着く本当の時計好きだけを相手にしたいからです。 使う人のイメージでブランドを下げることを避けています。

The movement is a spring drive, that’s why it doesn’t have the intricacy of a fully mechanical. For the tech in it, the back is immaculate

I guess I don't understand the price. It's listed new on Credor's site for 7.535 million yen which is under $49k USD at the moment (including Japanese VAT, which you can get refunded as a tourist) or a GS dealer can arrange to obtain for you in the US. So why shell out $59k used? There probably is a reason I'm missing.

​@@SuperMrgentlemanimporting it costs money and waitlists are long for this particular colour. They only make roughly 5 a year so....

@@wertj3977 5 a year? Naw. Heard it was 5 a month

@@wertj3977 It looks like someone doesn't understand how watch pricing works for some brands or particular models. Perhaps he should google "Rolex."

It's not about a lack effort, the price can fluctuate and this is more of a future proof archive.

I kinda think it's nice

I don’t know enough about what it takes to create a porcelain/enamel dial of this quality, but I would guess that this is possibly unavoidable? Otherwise it’s just a design choice. To each their own though. 🤷‍♂️

@@MattSeesGray It's actually a design choice. The dimple is caused by heating the pigment/porcelain to temperatures way higher than normal. Ceramic (porclain) already requires higher temperatures than enamel due it's composition, but in the case of this watch which also uses a pigment, Credor takes it a step further. You can colour porclain in two ways, "onglaze" or "inglaze", the latter means the pigment is dissolved into the actual ceramic composite, causing the edges to turn light blue as seen in the video. Another thing about inglaze is that it requires an insane 1200 degrees celcius, which warps the dial and makes it extremely concave, much more so than normal enamel and porclain. Thus, you get the majestic result you see in the video. I personally think it's the most beautiful "plain" dial ever made.

I don’t think you’re the target market, my friend lol.

Sounds like you’d be in the market for their sub brand several income tiers below this. Complaining about the price of this is like complaining about the price of a Bugatti, you aren’t the intended market for it.

Ugly? Man getoftheliquor 😂

No one sane is taking a watch like this for a swim or even under 1m of water.

Rolex has everything you need

You have absolutely no idea what this is

lmao just go buy a regular seiko

Did you even watch the video?
