The Design. Far from being overcrowded, the Credor Phoenix's design is filled with subtle yet interesting details. Released in 2000, the silvery-white sunburst dial is enhanced by five standout elements: the Ranger style hands, Red Accents, Porcelain-like indices, an Onyx Crown, and the nostalgic Crosshair Dial.
The Movement. The 8L75 movement inside is part of the 9S Grand Seiko family, having been built on the GS 9S55 movement. Not only were they designed by Grand Seiko’s Shizukuishi Studio, the 8L75 movements were also physically built by them too. Though officially rated at +/- 15 seconds per day, many of these Credor watches perform to the tighter tolerances of the 9S55, achieving an impressive +/- 5 seconds per day.
The Caseback. Credor’s artistry extends to its caseback, where the dial’s minimalism often gives way to intricate engravings. The GCBR995 features a phoenix motif that, while not as maximalist as the Credor Pacific GCBG975’s Clipper ship design, is no less captivating.
Condition: In great condition overall. Minor hairlines on the bezel and case.
Scope: Full box and papers.
Movement: Automatic 28,800 bph movement with 26 jewels

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, new, or modified), and the import and tax 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?
All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.
Can I modify an existing design?
We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.
Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
