FS: Grand Seiko SBGA493 Katana LE (500pc) Red Dial - Full AD Kit BNIB Unworn - MSRP

[sgtiger]

Through AD commitments, I ended up acquiring a second red dial Grand Seiko SBGA493 Katana LE. This is a sold out watch and limited edition of 500.

I don't need two, but I am willing to pass this along to someone who missed out. Watch is brand new, full AD kit, unworn, and comes with dated warranty card.

“A limited edition of 500 inspired by the forge used to make the katana, SBGA493 uses a unique dial pattern within a series of three U.S.-exclusive models inspired by the iconic sword. Polishing the katana requires handcraft of tremendous skill and dexterity, and the same can be said of crafting Grand Seiko watches using the Zaratsu polishing method, particularly the 44GS case design, which established the Grand Seiko style in 1967.

SBGA493 expresses the determination and fiery spirit needed to craft the blade. The deep red color with yellow gold-tone accents is influenced by the heated blade during the forging process. The pattern emulates the radiating sparks created when the hammer strikes the blade.”
