Grand Seiko SBGR027 - movement shots.
Hi all -
So as we all know, whilst when it comes to the dial, hands, case and bracelet, a Grand Seiko is up there with the very best in the world, its movement is never going to be challenging the likes of a Dufour or Voutilainen. That's what the Credor Masterpieces are for.
Still, I thought it would be interesting to flip over my recently acquired SBGR027 and have a nose around.
So without further ado...
Kind regards,
Gerald.

Incredible shots!
Always a fan of Seiko, myself. Your images really illustrate nicely! I have to ask, what are you shooting these images with? Best, Todd
Camera details...
Hi Todd - The camera is a CAPcam - a computer controlled view camera, with a Phase One digital back, and Schneider 120mm lens. Kind regards, Gerald.
Impressive as always!
I feel its a shame Seiko didn't bevel the plates/rotor on this one. Makes it feel a little plain versus its Spring Drive counterpart Regards, skyeriding
Great shots and as you all can see....
.... what is necessary is done, in terms of finishing. For SEIKO, Grand Seiko is "the world's best practical mechanical watch" and Credor is "the world's best dress watch", so they are meant to be for the different clientele or occasion. That said, mechan...
Nicely done!
Both the watch and the photos. With the exception of that one adjusting screw head, things look very clean in there ... In fact you might get your hand sliced open on some of those hard edges. I can tell you from first-hand experience that cleanliness is ...
Grand Seiko certainly represents the best value for an everyday watch
No pretenses to be anything else but singularly devoted to building a watch that we can wear everyday, and rely on to be accurate and reliable. Your pictures capture a lot of what makes it what it is. Very nice close ups!
Very nice looking Seiko
And I must say some great macro shots of the details. Thanks Bill
Incredible pictures - as usual
Wish someone could do the same level of justice to my SBGH035
Amazng Macros
These pictures certainly bares it all. But I bet to the naked eye, we won't be able to see it. but more importantly as Ken pointed out the GS line set out to be the best practical mechanical watch....which to me takes more priority
Impressive!
Many thanks for the effort and for sharing! Do you have a Spring Drive? Would love to send you some watches for a shooting ;o)
Yup
Hi - I have the SBGA129. A few photos of that on my Instagram feed (@watchdxb). Kind regards, Gerald.
Stunning pictures of a stunning Grand Seiko
Thanks for sharing these incredible macro shots.
