Two big factors: First, that people have it ingrained in them that Swiss watches = superior, even if they know how much of that perception is just marketing. Second, Seiko (and GS) has a tendency (speaking from personal experience as well as broad anecdotes in watch fandom) to understate the accuracy of movements, rather than overstate it.

(Seiko also doesn’t regulate movements particularly well in lower end watches, and likely doesn’t care to, as supreme accuracy is why you buy a spring drive or a 9F movement GS, and you buy a Turtle or a Marinemaster for affordable-ish hardiness and reliability)

I’ll be more impressed if we ever see both of them for a full playoffs, tbh.

An absolute heist. Everyone got what they wanted but OKC had maximum leverage and set up a truly incredible runway to serious contention. The Clippers will run through the remaining years of two great but injury prone stars, and then start from less than zero on the rebuild.
