Thoughts on an incoming: Grand Seiko SBGX009

No connection with the seller, but there's one of these on eBay currently at a tremendous price.
(Also - can't believe this thread is as old as it is....)

I missed out on that one but managed to pick one up today. Looking forward to it arriving early next week.

Nice! It's a classic. I wear mine a lot.

Congrats. And extra congrats if you bagged the absurdly cheap and very decent looking one on eBay today 👍👍👍

It’ll ruin other watches for you.

Guilty as charged. Bonus being the bracelet included as well.

Third quartz GS in the stable with an eye on the 261 next…

Didn't know a bracket fitted it! Must be quite a thin one to match the case? Interested in seeing photos.

Very very nice - got me looking!

English being my second language... .Google translate just proved that there is still lot of room for improvement.

I have GS but fancy only their 44 and 62 cases and no quartz so far.

My recent purchase of a quartz is a Citizen Eco drive.....and high value quartz by G Seiko and Citizen seems to be a huge barrier to me with limited budget.

I've never been a Seiko (Or Honda) fan, but that is rather lovely, and thanks for a most illuminating read!


I may have to pay more attention to GS in the future.

Same bracelet as generally found on the SBGX005, and I’d assume that’s the origin of this one since I [i]think[/] the ‘9 was always supplied on leather with a tang buckle - aesthetically, it needs the contrast to really compliment the austere perfection of the dial; the ‘5 on the other hand has the glitz of the sunburst to offset a bracelet.

Super to get as a bonus, all the same! And, like you, can’t wait to see some pics.

Ah makes sense. I wear my 9 on a brown perlon in the summer.
