Up for sale is a gorgeous 1968 45GS. This watch is absolutely stunning and a beautiful example for what is nearly a 60 year old watch! The case is unpolished and still displays sharp lines. The Zaratsu polishing remains intact. Hands and indices are razor sharp and throwing light just as they should. The dial is a creamy color and in fantastic overall condition with no spotting, while the acrylic on top also looks great considering its age. The watch does come with its original GS signed caseback, though I have replaced that with a Lapinist sapphire crystal display caseback. The movement here is too gorgeous to hide and this way the original caseback remains preserved in a case. While I purchased this watch without service history, this 45GS has clearly been very well cared for. The movement shows zero tool marks or scratches. Screws show no cam out or slip marks. Bridges and surfaces are smooth and crisp, showing little to no wear. No dried up oils or gunk to be seen anywhere. If I had to guess I would say it’s been serviced in the past couple years because everything is completely original and the watch is keeping time at a tidy 4spd on the wrist. TBH, the accuracy blows my mind each time I wear it. Aside from my 9F Grand Seiko watches, this is perhaps one of my most accurate watch. Watch runs, keeps time well and has no known issues. Watch located in Dallas, Texas.
