We had a fantastic day yesterday - bullet train, meals, tours and conversation. My wife and I and will be making a full report on Seiko soon. This morning we are booked for another tour, but I wanted to tease you with some of the things we saw yesterday ....  

Looking great and very promising

Thanks for the translations!

I didn't notice any squirming at that last restaurant, although the live lobster (head) at the Ken/Casey dinner did cause Mrs C some distress... but not enough to prevent us from tackling the oysters on our last night in Tokyo ...  

The next day, we found ourselves at a Seiko Epson facility ...

where we learned about wind chimes, and they forced me to wear this watch and listen to it ring We saw how totally integrated their facility was - making cases, movements, dials, hands, etc. (although we didn't get to see the herd of Seiko alligators) Ass...  

So am I....
