That it was 28 years in development and that over 600 movement samples were made before the Spring Drive was unveiled in 2005?

Did not know this Doc !..It seems that practice does make perfect ! What is so impressive about this is the determination to do things right ! Seiko probably could have gone with dozens and dozens of prototypes. They could have stopped after a couple of years and had a great movement. However, they were determined to do the BEST job possible. Creating world class movements and watches was evidently the result..it's pretty outstanding ! I appreciate the info..THX !

When I looked at them here at an AD I was really impressed. Blown away is more like it. The other thing that really surprised me was the weight of the watch even though it isn't that big in diameter she had real good heft to it. If I had coin to burn I'd buy one.

Ron..Seiko should add that phrase to their slogan !!! It's evidently true and fans of the brand really enjoy taking advantage of the unlimited mods that can be done !
