Galante Fire Review!

Hi everyone, I just finished our new Galante Fire review. You may already be familiar with Galante, Seiko's high-end avant garde brand (to put it lightly). The Fire is a totally insane watch and it's the first Galante spring drive Americans have ever seen--in fact it's the only one ever sold in America.

By far the most polarizing Seiko I have ever seen, it does not look like a Seiko at all!

Nice picts and review of its details.



That dial and hands combo is really nice as a dresser, though I'm not entirely sure if they would be practical.

Yeah, it's about as far from a Grand Seiko as you can get in terms of looks...but the quality is up there, better than Ananta.

Is the Galante range a class above Grand Seiko like the Credors, or it is positioned similar to Anantas, Premier...?

Iirc, Galante is almost on par with Grand Seiko but target audience is different.



Galante targets more of the atas yuppies in Japan.

Interesting design...my younger friends should now stop saying Seiko only makes "uncle" watches

Looks like Corum.

I dont know how to appreciate this nice watch ...

I feel that Galante is probably above Ananta but below Grand Seiko, although some models can actually cost more than a similar Grand Seiko. Seiko is kind of strange in how they arrange their sub-brands because the super high-end stuff goes to Credor, but within Seiko, the lower priced GS is still the prize of the company.



I think that Galante, GS and Credor make up the triumvirate of high-end Seiko.

Love the watch. The very little details all add up to make this one awesome timepiece to look at again and again - each time discovering a little more about the design quirks.
