Model: Credor "Full Titanium" 8J81-0AM0

Year: April 2014

Features:

The Movement. Seiko has deployed their 8J HAQ movements across a huge number of Credor and Grand Seiko watches. The calibre is robust, widely serviceable, accurate to ±10 seconds per year - and real-world testing has shown it to be more stable across temperature changes than the 9F. It represents Seiko’s last no-matter-the-cost approach to making quartz movements.

The Design. Any good Credor powered by an 8J should be visually experimental, and the GCAR981 is no exception. Deep grooves texture the dial, while vivid blue hands sweep over zaratsu-polished batons. An applied Yama (山), meaning Mountain, sits proudly at 12 o’clock, and the full titanium case continues to buck norms with its distinctive dodecagonal bezel.

The Style. It’s a fantastic set-it-and-forget-it daily option. Smart enough to wear to an office without being flashy or stuffy - and there’s no issue leaving it in a drawer over a long weekend. Come Monday, it won’t have gained or lost a second.

      FAQs

      Are your watches authentic?

      Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

      All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

      Do you ship globally?

      We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

      • 3-7 business days to reach North America
      • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
      • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      What condition are your watches?

      Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

      If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

      Are all of your watches serviced?

      Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

      All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

      What payment methods do you accept?

      We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

      Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

      It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

      Are your watches water resistant?

      Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

      What is your returns policy?

      Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
