Icon10 How's this for a stainless steel sports watch
*** Broad but tapered bracelet
*** Steel case with a sleek and unique shape
*** Interesting blue dial
*** High quality finishing
*** True in-house movement

Can all this be had for a 4-figure sum? I think so. Thinness doesn't really enter the equation, but it certainly doesn't look like the 13mm it measures.

Enjoy your holidays!

Thank you both! It’s SBGH273 “Shubun” from the Seasons collection.

Great looking watch. Got to try it on before and was awed by the typical excellence in finishing of the case, hands and markers that GS has become renowned for.

It gets me every time. I've been without a GS watch for a while, and once again the simple fact that you cannot spot any faults with a 5x loupe surprised me. That's Voutilainen's finishing standard! (though obviously they do a lot more with the movement)

A detail that I enjoy in this particular watch is that the pinion shaft is capped. Usually that's the case with spring drive models, but not mechanical ones.

Great photo of the SBGH273! Totally agree with those points.

That watch and the SBGH295 are my two favorite Grand Seikos. That 62GS case is incredible.

GS dials are stunningly gorgeous! And who doesn't love the seconds' sweep of a piece running at 5 Hz!
