Love it
I for one actually LOVE this watch. I love the colors, the execution and I actually love the case shape and use of materials. Yes i think it would be perfect slimmed down to a svelte 42.5mm but id love it at these dimensions. The real issue is the price though. 44K on leather is absolutely absurd.
GS Chronograph: SBGC238 Grand Seiko Sport Collection
A limited edition of 100 watches available in October 2020 CONCEPT The lion, the enduring emblem of Grand Seiko The lion mark was born together with the first Grand Seiko in 1960. It reflected the ambition of the Grand Seiko team to make a watch that was ...

Japanese brands spend a lot of time on symbolism, history, etc....

Thanks for the update! Ever since GS has gone solo and the never-ending limited releases, I must confess they are not on the top of my list.
They however have amazing high standard of watch making techniques.

Thanks for this post!
As a fan of all things GS, I desperately want to like their chronographs. Unfortunately, I just can't get my head around the sub-dial configuration. I like this piece, but the sub-dial layout just feels alien to me. Am I the only one who feels this way?
