I'm not completely sure about the lack of micro-ajustement, but it seems to be missing.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Credor Kuon: a good movement and a comfortable bracelet are a good basis for an everyday watch.
Best, Emmanuel
A great steel bracelet watch?
Among Grand Seiko 's new releases is this ref. SBGY043 from the Elegance Collection The dial color is known as K atsuiro , which is considered one of the deepest shades of indigo in Japan, achieved through dyeing techniques. The texture and pattern of the...
I am a bit surprised by the splash proof statement 💦
Especially since somewhat older GSs managed an easy 100m rating without even screwing down crowns 🤷🏻♂️ Otherwise a truly beautiful piece, even if on mine the bracelet would be off in nanoseconds 😉
I find it very surprising too, but that’s what’s written
on the dedicated webpage: https://www.grand-seiko.com/global-en/collections/sbgy043g . Could it be a mistake? I quite like the bracelet, but you would definitely find some great alternative straps! Best, Emmanuel
My initial reaction was this looks like one of the Biver stone dial releases.
Beautiful package and nice manual movement side with PR indicator. Just being splash proof is actually a point of concern since I’ll be stressed every time I wash my hands.😔
Yes, splash proof is almost unbelievable for such a watch,
but it’s the information given on the dedicated webpage: https://www.grand-seiko.com/global-en/collections/sbgy043g If it’s not a mistake, I don’t understand why they couldn’t provide at least 30m… Best, Emmanuel
I like the bracelet too and the general design.
Looking forward to seeing photos of your SBGY009 on bracelet! Best, Emmanuel
Color is hypnotic!
In regard to splash resistant, it's honest. Much more so than saying 30 meters. You can't go swimming with it. Just the motion of the body and the water will be more pressure than just dunking it. I have a student who is an engineer. He said that also 100...
I agree with you that this watch would also look great with a strap.
Regarding the water-resistance, I just wonder (i) if "splash resistant" is GS's way of saying 30 m and (ii) why they didn't achieve 50 m, like, for example any Royal Oak... Best, Emmanuel
I agree that aesthetically, the watch is very appealing.
Maybe "splash resistant" is GS's way of saying 30 m? Best, Emmanuel
I would also need/like to try it on!
"Splash resistant" sounds a bit scary for such a "daily" watch, but it might be GS's way to say 30 m... Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for the intro to the SBGY043, Emmanuel !
The case design is my least favorite from among GS' current lineup, but I do find the dial quite beautiful. The SD movement appears to be the essentially the same as the one in my Credor Kuon (sans the ripples), so I can vouch for its fine, trouble-free p...
