Note from the seller, "Ok, I dug this one out of my safe. It's a Grand Seiko 45GS (4520-8000) that belonged to the head watchmaker of Grand Seiko, Oohira-san, who does all the training worldwide for the service centers. He just serviced and regulated it. It's from the early 70's and is in mint condition, one of the best examples I have ever seen. The 4520 movement was the legendary movement that was entered into the Neuchatel chronometer certification program and passed, a huge milestone for Seiko at the time."
