Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum Message Archive
The time to changeing..
In the 1960's and 70's,
Almost all the fresh giuraduates peoples had the japanese wrist watch(seiko Or Citizen) which was bought for congratulation from parents or a relative.
ther'er first time to had it,
It was an expensive things those days.
Middle end of swiss watches were not circulating in japan market,that is my memory.So they'er chosen
low or high-end(seiko5, Actus*around 5000YEN renge) japanese watches,couldnot bought high-end swiss watches which is soo expensive,
The GS Price was around 30000YEN that is 300000YEN now..bit more than monthly salary of fresh graduates/
At now,fresh graduates peoples are not interesting any watches when they graduate, They already had G-shocks or another cheap watches or even cell pnone among students.They are interesting high-end watches..Rolex ,OMEGA,ZENITH,IWC,Britling,Grand seiko...and hoping will have two or three of these
fro the pride, or love watches..
Oh, It is as like as watch lovers! like this forumers(~_~)
is it Sufficient answer?
