    Thanks for sharing! I own that watch and is amazing. Though i dont love the brazalet because it doesn't tappers, the shape of the GS44 case makes it look like tapered. But that case really shine with straps. I purchased separately the 16mm deployant buckle and I love it in black croco, like your SBGY003, love it in grey croco..or dressing it down with other styles. You will enjoy it for sure!

    Congratulations. Two really nice watches! I'm currently watching a series of RUclips videos related to Grand Seiko, because I just bought my first GS. I went for a traveller’s GMT, the SBGN029. And just like in your case, my other watch that I'm currently wearing a lot is an Omega, the SeaMaster Diver 300M.

  • @IamnotJokic

    I love the SBGY series from GS. My grail is the SBGY026. Too bad they only made 100 of them, but the dial on it with the revolutionary spring drive is just perfection.

    It's a honey of a watch and a perfect fit. The manually wound spring drive caliber is cool, I love the 44GS case (sized up or down), the dial's attractive but refined & reserved. I do like the hands, though yes I'm also a big fan of the dauphine hands I associate more with GS. The case still says "Grand Seiko" loud & clear. This is another great choice IMO. Your collection is starting to get a little bonkers in the best way.
    My watches are less expensive, but I've been having a great time making my collection "leaner & meaner" this year. It's a bit of work to sell, but every watch in your collection should turn your crank somehow. My collection fits in a 12-slot box now, and next year it may fit in an 8-slot. I'm buying less & less often, but I still do buy and the process of evolving the collection is quite fun. We picked a pretty cool hobby here. Not the cheapest hobby, but still! 👍

    Great additions to your collection, congrats! That would be a mighty two-watch collection if that is all that you had. Throw in your Planet Ocean or Pelagos (you still have that right?) and that is a great three-watch collection.

    Congrats Sanjay! It does bring back the feeling of the legendary SBGY003. How do you feel about not having spring drive? i have only owned one once. I just really like the designs offered in high beat and mechanical over the spring drive. One watch im still considering is the SBGY009.

    • @engineer_wannabe
      @engineer_wannabe  Месяц назад

      Thanks Sam!
      I miss spring drive and will have one back in my collection eventually....not sure which one though.
      Hoping the SLGW003 is a good fit for my wrist. If not, the search will continue haha (That's a hi-beat though)
      SBGY009 is hard to be IMO. Spring drive and a thin 44GS is a sweet combo!

      Haha you think so?
      Dauphine hand are so beautiful
      I also felt like the dauphine hands would have been more difficult to manufacture than these ones but I'm not certain about that either way

    @MrJamesDuffy 2 месяца назад +1

    Nice pick-up! I am holding out for a simple glossy black dial with this case. Do you think either this SBGW297 or the Aqua Terra will stick around long enough to become your "signature watch" (to borrow a Jeff McMahonism) like SBGY003 did?

    • @engineer_wannabe
      @engineer_wannabe  2 месяца назад +1

      I remember us talking about that. It's only a matter of time till GS does something like that haha. Have you considered the SBGX261?
      I think this SBGW297 will likely be a signature watch for me. I'm cautiously optimistic about the Aqua Terra as well!
