Once again - simply fantastic. Brilliant watch.
.
Having never tried a GS before I picked this up last week in the Jura sale and have been debating it for the week, but decided to give it a go...
Its nice, the design on the case back swung it for me I think...
Need to sell a few now to pay for it!!
Thats the one for me
^^
The dial is stunning. And it’s really light, very wearable despite its tank-like looks.
Lost my GS cherry the other day.... SBGA231

Just to say, accuracy-wise.... I know they say +/- 1sec/24hrs but I set it on Wednesday morning. Worn every day since. Checked again this morning.
Currently running at 0 secs deviation..... Outstanding!

Ah, the sgbx115. Perfect. If only I could find and afford one in need of a new home

My latest GS and first 9F, classic stripped back design, arrow head indices, unusual bevelled hands for a GS which are capped as well. Shimmering egg shell cream dial.

SBGX209. Interesting stepped case design too, quite different from my other GS.

Love them. Tried one on at Seiko London. Ever seen the SBEX series from prospex, which are even bigger with less fully regulated hi beats?

If they did that case and dial combo with a Spring Drive movement I would be throwing money at the shop window waiting for it to open.
As an aside I have the Ltd Edition SBGA387 inbound. Already saw one in the metal which made me sniff one out at any cost. It's a collection killer. One of the nicest, highest quality watches I've ever handled in my life. It's Good Night Vienna to most of the rest of my collection now.
They're doing something similar - with the 9F quartz in a similar case. Sadly with plain dial only. Close as you are likely to get.
Look forward to seeing the Ltd - that much better than the snowflake?
By the sounds of that it stands a good chance of lasting 6-9 months?
Sounds incredible, would love to see that. Just missed seeing one in the NY boutique, although i did see the new blue face Elegance manual wind which was really nicely proportioned.
I have the new blue face Elegance manual wind inbound. An absolute grail for me. Hugely excited about what will be my first GS.

Fantastic first GS and quite different from the rest of the range, interested to hear what you think of it.

Lovely watch, really classic look. The sheen on the dial looks fabulous.
SBGX069
Does it look 17mm tall?
Not at all. Does it feel like a hockey puck ie over tall? It looks great with real presenceDoes it look 17mm tall?

Bezel is 42mm and you don’t really notice the rest.
So nice to be able to see this in so many real world angles. It isn't my cup of tea exactly but my god it's a lovely watch and not something you see every day (or week). You must love it.
I really do. Outstanding on the wrist. So functional too!
This one continues to monopolize my wrist. Less than 1s gained in six plus months.

Still the best :)
First Grand Seiko for me. Ref: SBGJ201 for me. Very impressed!

Yes, it’s the previous generation (discontinued) SBGX115.
What is the model number for the above? Thanks.Still the best :)
I should have bought one of those when I had the chance ! 😞Yes, it’s the previous generation (discontinued) SBGX115.
Very nice but glad to see they have released a new quartz diver...
cheers

Hi Matt, your post got me googling.. But couldn't find any news.. care to share?
Found them finally on instagram.. SBGX335, SBGX337, SBGX339 but huuuggee! 46mm or 50mm depending on who you believe..
Edit: now it's 43.6mm.

Interesting that the seconds hand is in slightly different positions on each of those (tiny amounts, but interesting as it suggests either the angle of the photo was slightly different each time, or they don't all hit quite the same position).
@yonsson has one already so will be interested to hear his thoughts..
Yonson from here has one - looks fantastic !
