Did my research on watchuseek and there's a bunch of Japanese seller names that are being vouched by Western buyers.

That said this was a total leap of faith, but just like what >>17677932 said, Spring Drive is hard to fake. The closest movement counterfeiters can use though to replicate it is using the movement Citizen uses for the Bulova Precisionist but as you can see here, there's a very noticeable difference between the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MDyhJ1UfEs.. The Precisionist still has a feel that looks closer to a sweep, whereas the SD is a full hover. The hover instead of sweep description people came up with for the Spring Drive really is accurate.

What sealed it for me though was the Zaratsu polish, this was my first exposure to this since I've never encountered it before, one of the experts I talked to that first brought it up told me that it's not exclusive to GS, Citizen watches also do them too, I just haven't seen said watches in person until this one.

If you're doing eBay, just google the seller and they usually pop up on watchuseek if they're reputable, JP watch resellers just tend to have ridiculous names for some reason. After googling, mine turned out to be a jewelry company hence why it was brand new, I just don't know why they listed it as pre-owned.

Yea, I'm aware of this, although I don't think this is gonna need servicing anytime soon since the card shows this first came out of the factory back in October last year, so that probably won't be until 9 years from now if I'm still alive then.
