A few weeks ago, thanks to a friend whom I thank wholeheartedly, this little marvel, the Grand Seiko ref. SLGW005 , found its unexpected way into my collection. THE 45GS Our dear KMII made a terrific post concerning the source of inspiration for this watc...  

Congratulations on your latest incoming - it is a sublime watch and one I have considered several times. Maybe next year 😊🤞🏻 Glad if you enjoyed my old article on the historical inspiration for it 🙏🏻 Wear it in good health and enjoy your NWA 🎉🎊🎈 ... 

It's a wonderful watch indeed, which is all about elaborate simplicity. The case design is stunning and the new movement is a joy to wind daily. Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel

GS has a subtle charm very different from your other watches. Quite possibly not your last or only one 😉😁

But it’s undoubtedly there! 😊

While perhaps not as stealthy as 10 years ago, by and large many people still have no idea about them and many cannot imagine the appeal 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

As is often said, “if you know you know”, and I find this feeling quite satisfying, whatever the watch. 🚶🏻‍♂️‍➡️🍃

This watch has a special charm. Both very simple and very elaborate. And so easy to wear on any occasion. Best, Emmanuel

A real beauty, this GS. Wonderful case work.

Yes, the case design is my favorite aspect of this timepiece. "Elaborate simplicity" is the expression which comes to my mind. Best, Emmanuel

I’ve got an SGBW253 that should be getting more wrist time…

There is really a lot going on with the case. A beautiful movement and a practical PR indicator.

The "elaborate simplicity" of this watch and in particular the discreet sophistication of the angular yet very "wrist-friendly" case is what I like the most. And also the winding system with the wagtail-shaped click. Best, Emmanuel

Simple, yet not-so-simple and full of subtle details and angles. Best, Emmanuel

We appear to both have an appreciation for modern re-editions!👍👍 Enjoy this beauty!🥂

Yes, I find the "elaborate simplicity" of this timepiece very appealing. And, like you, I enjoy these modern reeditions because they give us the best of both worlds: a vintage design with a modern, reliable and very finely finished movement. Best, Emmanue...
