Many Thanks...
Thank you for the kind words, Cazalea.
Also, I greatly appreciate you sharing you amazing journey into the bowels of Seiko's amazing operation!
As a side note, I decided to try the Self Dater on the included strap; very nice, dressy look, but I think I still prefer the bracelet:

New Arrival; Grand Seiko Historical Collection, Self Dater
Greetings everyone. Some of you may recall my post of my SBGX093 (Magnetic Resistant), which was a great watch. Although, the opportunity came recently for me to trade that beauty for something else that I have had my eye on... Enter the silver dialed ver...
Very Nice! Thanks for the viewing
I saw one this week in the boutique and I was impressed. And I think we saw the lady making these dials when we were in Japan. Look HERE Cheers, Cazalea

Beautiful one!!!!
... although I wish the movement were mechanical, the design of this is sooooo good. Doesn't look "old" design at all. Congrats!!! Ken
Thank you, Ken!
Ken; thank you for the kind words. Yes, the design is classic and IMO, timeless - so much so, that yes, it would be very interesting if it included a mechanical movement. Although, I applaud GS's choice of using the 9f movement. The goal in 1964 was to cr...

Thank you for the kind words. This model actually uses the 9f movement; making it a super practical grab and go watch.
Rats, I knew that but my brain and fingers didn't connect
Have you ever found yourself confusing an automatic and manual watch? I borrowed a manual GS from a friend and after a two days it stopped running even though I wore it the whole time. Imagine my embarrassment when he asked "did you wind it?" But then lat...
We have all been there... ;-)
Ha ha; we have all been there. Imagine my confusion, years ago, when my dad gave me his old Elgin 105! A watch that's seconds hand moved like a mechanical, but it was powered by a battery. Love your SBGX039 by the way! [URL=] [/URL] ...
If it's anything like the 43999, it's impossible to photograph.
After years of looking for the right 43999 - flawless dial, unfinished case, clean lion - I just got mine, and it's amazing. I'd expect the historical collection homage to be no less spectacular. ...
