I have had my Grand Seiko for close to three months now and have enjoyed it thoroughly ... There is nothing quite like it in the Sub 10K range ... In my opinion, it competes directly with JLC, Rolex & GO with respect to its size, comfort, finishing, dial and demeanor.
I recall having to search through many many threads to dig up some real life photographs of Grand Seikos before pulling the trigger ..
Given the growing interest in Grand Seikos, I would urge everyone to share photographs of their GS for fellow Seiko enthusiasts and new buyers..
Cheers

I would begin the thread with my SBGE001 .. a treasured possession !
This thread has been such a great resource for me and I've always wanted to add to it meaningfully. I've tried to capture the distinctive dial texture on this grand seiko sbgh023. Cheers!:-d
Here are 2 pics I just took of the grand seiko sbgr085. This is a limited edition of 40 pieces from Wako. The dial is a very beautiful soft milky white with a slight granular texture. It has a muted sparkle - very elegant and understated. The applied numerals are lovely as they appear melted over the dial. But interestingly the sides of the numerals are highly polished. It's really a delight to be constantly surprised by these wonderful details. The hour markers are differentiated by an applied dot above each numeral on the minute track. The symmetry is subtly altered at the date window. This really is a wonderfully made piece! Cheers!:-d
The polishing service is done for an additional fee, around $350 to refinish the case and bracelet. For what I have seen the work is excellent and done by Seiko themselves.
Hi all. This is my daily wear the sbga085. It has a beautiful finely textured black dial which I have tried to capture in these pics. Although simple in design, I never tire of the qualities of this piece. Cheers!:-d
Hello all. This is the sbgx091 with the 9F quartz movement. It has a beautiful grey dial and useful lume on the hour and minute hands as well as the quarter indices. The hands and indices are polished to perfection and really catches the light while the dial has a pearl like texture. The one feature which I really appreciate is the very assured way the seconds hand move around the dial. It's very difficult to describe and has to be seen in person. It does not have the nervous ponderous tick associated with quartz movements and some mechanical movements but instead exhibits a poise which is both calm and confident. It's almost as if time has slowed although this is one of the most accurate movements around. Cheers!:-d
I guess the picture kinda came out small. nonetheless, I bought my dream watch a Grand Seiko a week ago, I couldn't be happier. It was a lot better looking in person than it did on the web. It is simple, it is elegant and it is very well made. For my next one, I think I may opt out of buying a Rolex Datejust and go for Grand Seiko Spring Drive (Snowflake) instead.

I just installed tapatalk so I wouldn't know how the pics would show up. Notwithstanding I took some new pics of the grand seiko sbgw047. This is definitely my favourite at the moment. It has marvellous detailing in it's case and the clock face is simply mesmerizing. The proportions are simply exquisite; there is a sublime rightness to everything from the length of the hands to the breadth of the indices. Cheers!
