I have a SBGA211 snow flake (spring drive) and a Hi Beat GMT with the SBGJ249 and IMO their is real passion and commitment they have in all their movements. With GS it’s not just the dials, or the Zaratsu polishing or case design or the evolution in each of their movements, it’s all of the above in its glory. I don’t care if Grand Seiko doesn’t get the Rolex nor Patek respect, that time will come one day and by then my GS collection will be deep. My next watch will have a 9F movement it’s the very top of quartz driven accuracy . You have a beautiful watch with excellent horology. Cheers
I really like the SBGN007 tho it’s only available grey market. Tho the SBGP015 is probably the one I’ll buy if it’s still available new or used below retail.
The thing is I just wired $3k for the King Seiko 140th anniversary KSK SJE083 so that GS will hopefully be available later. I also want the Omega 300 co-axial blue yellow or the aqua terra 41mm
@@MegaFclef I used to have the Omega 300 Co Axial and it’s a super nice piece. I also had my eye on the KS reissue. That was super nice. I wish it was more affordable and available.
I have had two GS watches and one I currently still have and will probably never sell. SBGW 231 to me probably one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen. GS still has a lot of room to grow.
@@JackOnWrist its my favorite watch out of my collection and I was very fortunate to get a great deal for it. If you happen to get it you would love it.
@@JackOnWrist Aside from the water resistance on the piece you can change the strap and wear it as a daily like I do, or wear it as a dress watch if you like. I have seen folks even putting it on a nato. A lot of folks do not like the thickness of it but I think that since it is a bit thick it allows for it to be worn more casual etc. Cheers
In the video I failed to mention aspects of servicing a Grand Seiko. That would definitely fall under the negative side of things. If you have a 9F Quartz or a Spring Drive movement that is experiencing difficulties, more than likely you would have to send it over to Japan for servicing. Definitely not the most convenient thing in the world.
Read somewhere that the 9F Quartz can be serviced at Seiko HQ in NJ. The Spring/Mechanical need to be sent to Japan however. I'm purchasing the SBGP001 (9F) and the servicing of it, not that it would need much anyway, is a consideration (just need to change the battery every 3 years; no biggie). On the Quartz note or overall brand perhaps I read that a guy bought one in 1973 and has never had it serviced. I'm excited to get mine soon..!
@@gerry2893 I can’t speak to the 9F from many years ago, however, my grandfather gave me a random Seiko Quartz watch from the early 70s that still keeps time within its spec. It has never been serviced, the only thing that has been done is the standard battery change every few years.

What 9F are you going for? Which model?

The SBGW231 is one of my grails at the moment. Absolutely stunning and clean piece.

@@elefantrising May I ask, Is it more of a dress watch for you? or perhaps something you can’t dress up and down as you wish with various straps?

Any suggestions where to get this brand new for the best price?
Honestly just places like eBay and Chrono24. Just wait long enough for an auction or a good price and be ready to act on it.
