In fact, it doesn’t look or feel thick at all. The play between light and shadow is well at work here.



I’d been wearing a Rolex sky-dweller before receiving this Grand Seiko SBGE253.

The former had an unmistakable heft to it that made it wear like a chunky watch.

The GS feels so much more comfortable and lighter.



The finishing on the case, dial and hands is also miles ahead of most brands at this price range.



As a bonus, i got a great deal for this pre-owned set too.
Hey really glad to hear you are happy with the GS. Looks like it fits you perfectly. Honestly I think this one fits you better than the Sky-D. I think all the focus on thickness of this watch and most others is much ado about nothing. The case size and thickness and shape all work perfectly on this watch. I've also worn this with dress shirts and the cuff slips right over with no hang ups. As you point out the finishing on this watch is amazing. I really love the diamond cut indices and hands and the way they catch the light. The glossy black dial matches up so well with the cereamic bezel. I could go on and on about this watch, it's fantastic.
