Incoming: Grand Seiko SLGA015 & SLGA023
I have been a fan of Grand Seiko for a while and have owned several watches over the years. I am a huge dive watch person, as my collection across the brands reflects. I first became aware of the SLGA015 last year and it took a while for my AD to get one in. Once in, I really liked it and thought this might be the one but I hesitated based on the price. In the interim, Grand Seiko introduced the SLGA023. Same watch as the 015 but with a blue dial and bezel. I asked my AD to get one and my thoughts were to compare and decide which one would be the best. So much for best intentions as I am now the owner of both. Great wearing watch and a good fit on my 7.5-7.75 inch wrist. I am looking forward to getting some wrist time with them.

congratulation's on the double! I absolutely love my SLGA015. Incredibly comfortable and crazy accurate. I set my quartz watches by it! It is my daily watch Monday - Friday.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE!! I think the SLGA023 is my next.. I imagine that blue is very dynamic in real life!

Wow- those are both really handsome-
I'd have gone blue I think, if I had to make the choice, congratulations on snagging both !

Lovely pair - have had a few of the 463 but these dials and updated movement are key.

Love the new fonts they use on the bezel. Much sharper than the ones on the older spring drive diver models.
Is the bezel action still buttery smooth? GS & Rolex dive watches have the best bezel I’ve ever experienced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
