So basically you doubt what I opinion because yoú lack the basic understanding of what I am talking about.
About the 9Fxx (jump to page 6.); http://www.webchronos.net/special/2010/ ... index.html
Again; I canot help it if you cannot find the Brightz range.
It is the Seiko high end model range; thé most crucial for Seiko as it is where it needs to go.
Grand Seiko is a signature range but the Shizukuishi atelier has a very limited production capacity only. Going international with GS is just another step to raise the international price ceiling for the Seiko brand.
The Brightz is big bugs mass production; the sector where profit is to be made. It is the range that Seiko needs to sell internationally in the tracks of Grand Seiko.
The range has been JDM only save for a féw watches. The Ananta and now EPD being the most known.
Look at http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/bz/phoenix ... /index.php
This is as you can see the Phoenix part of the Seiko Japan on line Brightz catalogue.
You can find the brand strategy, including the why!! of spring drive, explained in the ´Journey in Time´ that you can find in pdf format on line. Seiko hás to move upwards with it´s ´popular´ price range if it is to survive as a major watch manufacturer.
This is why the EPD will not be develloped vertically downwards for some time yet.
Now questions are a VERY good thing. The answers are below your finger tips.
One does not know what one does not know. Knowing that one knows little is grand understanding.
