Incoming Grand Seiko SLGA015 Kurushio black stream diver



Great watch and got it at what I felt was a great deal. Was a preowned set from late 2022. Just over 50% off current MSRP.

Titanium construction really enhances the comfort. And it doesn’t wear as large and thick as one would assume based on the paper specs, even on my diminutive meat hooks.

That's a great looking watch-congratulations!

Could you please post some more pictures?
The dial looks like it has a lot of texture and depth.

Regarding wearability, I feel Seiko seems to have a way of making their watches wear smaller/more comfortable than the specifications might indicate.

They generally have cases where they can get away with short lugs, so the lug to lug isn’t so bad.

I noticed on my GS at least, if you remove the bracelet, there are indentations in the case where a strap would have space to move without using curved spring bars.

Anyway, just a thought.

Not sure if this helps? It’s hard to capture the dial texture on my cellphone camera.

Totally love this diver and have for a long time. Great watch. Congratulations!

I've never gotten to try one on but I bet it feels shockingly light for its size.

Congrats! I got a titanium Evo9 about five months ago and have barely taken it off. Enjoy that bad boy!

Absolutely incredible pickup, especially at that price! Titanium really does make a huge difference in comfort, and it’s great to hear it wears better than the specs suggest. Enjoy the watch!
