Dear all,

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

nishant

I would begin the thread with my SBGE001 .. a treasured possession !

I miss having a Grand Seiko in my collection. With only one spot left in my watchbox I am going to save it for a Grand Seiko. Probably SBGR051. I had the black dial SBGR053 but went on to try other things but I haven't found anything else that gives me the same feeling as a GS.

The problem is I know if I buy the first one .....that eventually will lead to another and another....

Hi all,

I've always been a watch fan and turn a Seiko fan when my dad gave me his "5" many years ago. Been lusting for a GS and finally pulled the trigger!! I'm now a proud owner of a SBGR051!! Between my daily rotations of a Monster on mesh and a Rolex 6694 oyster, this is by far the most comfortable bracelet. I just moulds to your wrist. I love it!! I'm now on a search to find a tapered leather bracelet. Any suggestions on where to go??

It depends on the size of your lug width, but Seiya Japan sells a very nice genuine Grand Seiko crocodile strap (tapered). In the picture it looks plain, but in real life, it's super supple and obviously high quality.

I love the SBGR051 mroe and more every time I see it.
I have no regrets selling my black dialed SBGR053 because it had to go at the time, but realize that the shapeand proportion of the case is perfect for my wrist and the execution and finish flawless on these watches. I was considering pulling the trigger on a HAQ version of a Grand Seiko but think I'll save up for another auto.

Google Translate is horrible from Japanese to English. It's not Poppo's fault at all.

Can someone PM Poppo and get details on what's going on? I'm really intrigued. Does he work there, or did he just tour? I'm thinking he toured.

Thanks, Poppo. That makes sense.

That must have been an amazing tour. I wish I could do the same some day.
