Lovely photographs of a magnificent watch! (p.s. Is the strap a little narrow between the lugs, perhaps?)
The new “Sakura-Wakaba” 62GS
The yellow gold Grand Seiko “ Sakura-Wakaba ” ref. SBGH376 pays homage to the 62GS , Grand Seiko's first automatic watch launched in 1967 . Designed by Taro Tanaka , the case of the 62GS had a bezel-less design , with the crystal sitting directly on the c...
This is a lovely watch but
I am rather concerned that Grand Seiko have priced themselves out of the market.
I am fan of yellow gold dress watch. This is beautiful for sure, and the 100 meter WR with screw down crown is rare in dress category

Love GS but
the prices of the precious metal pieces are a bit crazy. Being diplomatic with the words a bit. Lovely piece though as are so many of their offerings.
I agree with you.
In fact, to be honest, I don't even look at the prices because I'm not in the market for these watches and I know that the prices are crazy, whatever the brand... Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for that intro to the SBGH376, Emmanuel. I think the faint green of the dial and the gold case go very nicely together...
But as I already have a 62GS model in SS with the same high-beat movement, I can't say that the SBGH376 wins me over enough to want to get it as well.
I can certainly understand that! Having one 62GS is great and enough!
Especially given the price of this yellow gold edition... Best, Emmanuel
Seiko MUST figure out a way to slim these down...
It should be no more than 10mm and I would be perfect and I would own many variations. I don't understand how such a huge company can't make a thinner watch/movement... Maybe they need it for the 10bar water resistance, which is not needed. Also the price...
