Yes, it wears true to size. But the curved lugs make it hug the wrist and is thus very comfortable when worn.

The male end links extend the L2L to 52.5 mm though. I think that’s my only issue with this watch.

I don’t have a particular preference for large watches, it just so happens that this model has all the functions that I’d frequently use.

It is a sapphire bezel that is friction based? Doesn’t have any clicks when I rotate it.

I work in a time zone that is in a half hour offset so I can set the bezel to a sweet spot and ignore the minute hand when checking the reference time.

I really like the value proposition of Grand Seiko.

I know of no other brand that works harder for my money. Hand finishing on case, dial, hands and indexes. The movement finish is good for a mass produced watch.

SBGE253 will get less wrist time now.

New arrival. First GS. Very comfortable and the dial and bezel are really striking.

Thanks buddy. I really enjoy this one. Bought it as a travel/cruise watch but I wear it quite a bit when I'm not traveling too.

You haven't given up on yours have you?

Beautiful picture Mike! This model seems to be the perfect watch. Not only in size, but everything else makes it the perfect everyday watch. I got to stop looking at these pictures, it's just too tempting!!

Thanks Tim. It really is a great all-around watch. Easy to wear, works I'm any situation. At 40.5mm a nice wearable size. I've been really happy with this one. Oh and the spring drive is absolutely ridiculous how accurate it is. You could set it once every six months and be just fine.
