Alright, let’s gab a bit about this thingamajig, the 62GS. Folks say it’s a watch, a real fancy one at that. Don’t know much about these fancy things myself, but I’ll tell ya what I heard.
First off, what is it? Well, they say it’s the very first automatic Grand Seiko watch. Automatic, meaning it winds itself, I reckon. No need to fuss with winding it up every day, like them old clocks we used to have. This here 62GS, they started makin’ it way back in 1967, a long, long time ago.
Now, they call it the 62GS, but seems like there’s more to the name than that. I hear talk of 6245 and 6246 too. Sounds like a bunch of numbers to me, but I guess it matters to them watch folks. Maybe it’s like different colors or somethin’, I dunno. But the main thing is, it’s all part of that 62GS family, see?
- Important stuff about the 62GS:
- It’s the first automatic Grand Seiko.
- They made it from 1967 to 1969.
- There are different versions, like 6245 and 6246.
They say this watch is special, real special. It’s like the granddaddy of all them other automatic Grand Seiko watches. Started a whole new thing, they did. Imagine that! Something so small and fiddly changin’ the whole watch world. Makes you think, don’t it?
People are real keen on it. I see folks on the internet, always yappin’ about it. They compare it to some other watch, the 44GS. Sayin’ one’s better than the other. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. A watch is a watch, right? But I guess if you’re into these things, you got your favorites.
They talk about the 62GS bein’ made of steel or titanium. Another thing I don’t quite get. Sounds like different kinds of metal, I suppose. One’s heavier, maybe? One’s shinier? Who knows? But folks, they sure do care about this stuff.
And then there’s talk about the case, the outside part of the watch, you know? They say some new watches use the same kinda case as the old 62GS. Guess it was a good design, huh? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, that’s what I always say.
They even made a new version of it! Yep, in 2015, they brought back the 62GS. A new one, all shiny and modern, but still lookin’ like the old one, they say. It’s got a mirrored finish, whatever that means. Probably real sparkly, I reckon. Folks seem to like it, this new version, but they still love the old one too.
Seems like this 62GS is more than just a watch. It’s a story, a history. It tells you about where Grand Seiko came from, how they started makin’ these automatic watches. It’s like a piece of the past, right there on your wrist.
Why all the fuss? Well, I guess it’s because it’s well-made, and it’s important. It’s a piece of history, like I said. And it’s pretty, too, I suppose. If you’re into that kinda thing. Me, I just need a watch that tells the time, but these folks, they want somethin’ more. They want somethin’ special. And this here 62GS, it sure seems special.
To sum it up, the 62GS is the first automatic Grand Seiko watch. It was made a long time ago, and people still love it today. They even made a new version. It’s got a bunch of different numbers and letters attached to it, but it’s all the same family, this 62GS. And it’s a big deal in the watch world, seems like. So there you have it, all I know about this fancy 62GS watch. More than I ever thought I’d know, that’s for sure!
