Definitely. People think of Seiko as cheap quartz. i have a colleague who works in Japan and he asked me for watch advice and I pointed him to this. He gets more comments from the Japanese on that than any other watch. You hit the nail on the head though... for people who value status, Seiko (even if Grand) is a no-go. I don't really value status (much). I keep looking in on GS and I think they are real horological bargains, but I have too long of a wish list to pull the trigger just yet.
