Let's see those Grand Seikos!

Here's a relatively new acquisition ... a limited edition GS SBGK005. Loving the textured "Mount Iwate" blue dial and the old-school feel. Light and thin (11.6mm) but with great wrist presence, even at 39mm. Curved, retro-inspired case, domed crystal. Beautiful watch that's dressy, but with some sporty flair too, especially on a more casual strap. (Comes originally on a blue gloss gator strap.) Manual wind but with a three-day power reserve tracked on the little meter at 3 o'clock. Quirky but balanced well on the dial with the seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Nice!

Really stunning watch. Tried in on several times at the GS Boutique in NYC. Perfect example of less is more. Great size too. Very 1950s.

Pattymac · 19 February 2021, 07:05 AM

Been wearing this one a lot lately.

My 231 which I adore. I managed to get the beads of rice bracelet which I’ll be putting it on soon, can’t wait.

Not today’s photo but this is what I’m wearing. It’s the SBGA231 with a Red Rock canvas strap.

This today. Bought new in Hiroshima in January 2018, and still gets a lot more wear than any of my Rolex watches,

Cru Jones · 19 February 2021, 10:27 PM

SBGE249. Worn especially today to celebrate this new thread and renamed forum.

Nice, one of the very few on the thread so far whose date shows it's actually what they're wearing today!

This is what I'm wearing today, but recycling an old photo of it

Thanks.

If I were to recycle one of favorite photos of my “Blizzard “, I’d go with this one.

london_v · 20 February 2021, 04:27 AM

Lol. The benefits of wearing a no date watch.... recycle game strong

Thanks, man! It’s the SBGY003, 20th Anniversary in steel. Manual wind. PR on the back. 38mm. Such an easy, comfortable watch to wear. The smooth sweep of the seconds hand is such a pleasure to glance at throughout the day.

231 and 235 are a couple of GS best kept secrets. Yours is beautiful!

swish77 · 22 February 2021, 11:14 PM

My favorite from the “Seasons” series, the “fall” SGBH273 with the blue textured dial, and the gold seconds hand designed to represent the moon against a night sky. So Japanese. (Took the photo just after I got it, but I am wearing it today!)
