the 23mm lug width is not a good idea and makes the bracelet look too wide in my opinion and I've noticed GS have widened a few of their bracelets and I think it is a mistake. Most watches, perhaps all of them tend to suit 20mm or 22mm (for larger watches).
Great review. I’m able to kick one up from Japan for C$13,800 as opposed to C$18,100. Bearing this in mind would you consider it a good value proposition at this Price point ? Thank you for a very informed review
I've owned the Zenith Chronomaster Sport and while they are both hi-beat chronographs, they wear very differently. The large ceramic bezel on the Zenith kind of makes it wear smaller than it's 40mm diameter imo, while the GS wears quite large (but light due to the titanium). Fit and finish on both watches is excellent, but I find the GS a bit more legible to read the subdials and date.
Thanks for the review on this one! Isn’t this an older module attached to a 9sa5? I realize that’s not uncommon in the watch market but for that price Id personally look elsewhere. Styling looks pretty cool though and great on your wrist!
Tentagraph is stunning - both movement and design. Well worth the price I believe. Stunning on the wrist.
Nailed it. Great review. Wish the dimensions were a bit smaller for my wrist and the price came down a little.
Another great review, they just keep getting better !
Great video. Like always.
Please make a video for the sbgj275 grand seiko. The one with the "clouds" dial.
Beautiful watch.
It's a very cool release with some nice features, but totally align with your assessment on the asking price. Do love that dial though.

Beautiful watch! That price tho... Makes my Chronomaster look like a bargain!
comparing this thing to a zenith is crazy. Look at the finishing...Great review btw...
I agree that the choice of 23mm lug width is just odd and inconvinient for all watch enthusiasts
GS redefines & raises the bar (very high) for fine chronographs.

@@stuartlloyd-jones9583 yeah, that would be a great deal if you can pick one up 👍
Great review. I’m hoping that there would be a panda dial in the future!
Thanks for the feedback
Nice watch to pick up.
Gorgeous time piece, Beautiful. Very expensive.
Could you do a comparison of this and the zenith chronomaster ceramic?

Just grabbed one of these. Does Grand Seiko make the bent springbar you mentioned or were they aftermarket?
@@jonchang_bpre I had to get some extra 23mm spring bars and use my spring bar bending tool on them
Make a video for the Sbgj239 grand seiko.
Love these but... that price makes me sad. For now at least I'll stick with my killer SRQ for almost 1/10th the price.
Given the hindsight, will u keep the tentagraph?
price is crazy
Why can’t it gave Daytona dimensions? It would be perfect 👍🏻
At that price it better be perfect in every way
At what price? This watch on chrono 24 is between $10k. I dunno who buys watches for full retail
Looks like a Tag Carrera
18k no way.
this watch gets way more hate than it deserves
It'll make mine more exclusive. 😂😂
I love mine, truly beautiful ❤ 🇬🇧
Outstanding quality. However, the designs of the Grand Seiko are not compelling. They need to be before they can make a lot of money.
Great brand, great movement, it just isn't a pretty watch.
