From an old Seiko Catalog
You can see Grand Seiko VFA
SeiyaJapan blog
[My personal expectation of 2014] Repro GS V.F.A. will be released as a V.F.A. 45 years old anniversary.
I'm hoping that Seiko will be back as a repro Grand Seiko V.F.A. sometime in 2014
This V.F.A. will have a tune-up-ed 9S85 Hi-Beat 36000 Movement.
The accuracy will be very fine adjusted, +/-1sec per day ;-)
And Seiko Japan will guaranties its accuracy for 2 years.
This article is on my personal expectation!
