Ok, so no let´s recapitulate what was obesrved by some above: A JLC, a Panerai and a VanderKlauw are óbviously no match for the Grand Seiko because they are boring shite.
Now as those quite respectable watches from highly valued and wis-revered brands, representative examples of european luxury watchmaking, are boring shite according to these mains stream traditional wis, then that sériously shakes the pillars under wis-dom.
That is wáy more serious than GS being awarded the title.
