Grand Seiko got me again - SBGE245
 
3 Attachment(s)
Added this to the SBGA387. Have to see it in person to appreciate (I think) but here are a few pics. My wrist is on the smaller end and am usually in the 39-40mm range but this 44mm seems to work.

Congrats! Thinking of picking that up too!

Beautiful dial.

Congrats.

For some reason, many of the Seiko Case sizes wear smaller than I expect.

my 44mm MM300 for instance, feels more like 40-42. BUT it's thick.

Beautiful piece and great looking GMT

Don’t think it should last long at that price point....

Congratulations, size looks awesome on you.
It is such an amazingly well valued watch and that bezel :lov: .

I don't typically spam posts, but thought that you may appreciate this little video I put out on this exact model:

It would be cool if GS comes out a pepsi version like the Seiko pepsi diver.

henrylee 3 April 2019 03:36 PM

Beautiful

didyunt 3 April 2019 05:42 PM

I watched this. Great review I almost posted this but didn’t know if we could. And yes the bezel and dial just goes incredible together.

You have the best watch centered channel on youtube buddy. I remember last year when you were posting a couple spots and asking what TRF thought. Keep up the awesome work, I've been seriously impressed with everything you've done and appreciate your opinions. And I just ordered this watch from Thanh basically because of you. Thanks!

That's a nice pick up

Wondering so the lume on bezel are green, how about the hands and indices? Are they blue or green in person?

jcarm981 4 April 2019 09:06 AM

It’s a light green. Honestly the pictures do no justice. Great watch - I saw David’s went quick didn’t last long on his site.

thekman 4 April 2019 09:11 AM

Just tried this out at the GS Boutique in NYC. Beautiful piece, wish it was smaller tho!

Yeah 40-42mm would be killer and a little less thick.

100%, would be perfect.
The larger case size here on this model though really is quite comfortable, a little surprised.

Stunning piece that I immediately knew I wanted without even trying it on. I'm actually wearing it today! Looks great on you!

Love your videos. My wallet doesn’t feel the same way.

Sorry, you are wrong.
The watch wears relatively small, comparable to a 40 mm Rolex, the EXP II appears to be larger.

And if you take 2 mm from the watch, the dial would be tiny, it‘s already relatively small.

You have the bezel, the inner ring and all that takes mm from the dial.

Anyone else experienced that the surface of the hour markers divides white light into rainbow colors under certain conditions?

I actually think Seiko is better than that for the GS line. There is already the SKX007 line if you want it.
