Six months with the SBGX097

 

It may not be the most flamboyant, or the most well known but it has been my first Grand Seiko - namely a relatively bog standard quartz SBGX097. Still, it came with the impressive 9F movement and was equipped with a lovely green dial - another first for me.



In the last six months it has been an unobtrusive but dependable companion. Never one to scream for attention, incites no envy, slips under the shirt easily with its 38mm case and slim profile. And keeps time like an atom clock - I can safely use it to set other watches, since it has never been off for more than half a second so far - which for half a year is downright impressive

After it got the new strap it was even nicer - thanks going to Ken What makes this forum such a great place to be!

With 100m water resistance it easily deals with the odd raindrop

A trusty companion for brown / earth / moss coloured outfits

And - like every Grand Seiko should - here a snowflake encounter

So, a great six months it has been, an not only did it get a 'Special' brother, there is a Chrono (SRQ019) on the way to keep it company, too. If you want a dependable, hyper accurate everyday watch, you could hardly do better.
