Congrats OP. I love the looks of that model w/the jubilee style bracelet on it. Just to know…Macy’s has the blue dial variant on sale right now with code: FRIEND. How do you find the wearability on that one? My wrist is just under 6”.

My wrist is 6.5 inches. I am wearing the jubilee loosely and it is very comfortable. I bought it from an AD in CA at a pretty big discount. But I think Macy’s price is lower. It is not a big wearing watch and I think it would work on a 6 inch wrist, but by all means try it on at Macy’s.

Thank you, Janet!

This build was finished last year. Really happy how it came together. I bought the sandblasted case which gave me a chance to attempt sandblasting a bracelet to match. A friend who owns a monument company did the blasting and I went over the entire bracelet w/ #0000 steel wool. It came out pretty good.

Picked this up yesterday here in Tokyo; February 1968 4420-9000. It's amazing how modern these vintage Grand Seikos still feel, and they make all the current models seem oversize and frumpy...
