Craig is back from Japan. While there, he was there he visited both Seiko Epson, where Grand Seiko Quartz and Spring Drive watches are produced, and Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, where Grand Seiko's mechanical watches are made. Craig, Ben and Derek discuss the trip, as well as Craig's interview of Akio Naito, President Of Seiko Watches. The guys also discuss Watches of Switzerland's recent purchase of Hodinkee and what it means for both companies. Finally, they discussed the new Omega Speedmaster FOIS (First Omega in Space) and offered their thoughts on fake watches. Hint on their thoughts about fakes: they aren't big fans.
