Using the Grand Seiko Model List

Hi GS Lovers,

Bill and the technical team at WatchProSite have added a model index to the site. That enables us to more easily find articles discussing our favorite models -- IF -- we include the model number in the file.

So if you know the number of your watch, please put it in any article you contribute. You can find it either on the outer box or on the hang tag. It's NOT on the watch or any manual or printed material in the box. :-(

Alternatively, you can use the reference table to locate the watch. I have chosen a sample image off the web of a watch I don't recognize to use as an example.

Using our powers of observation, we see it has a bracelet, white dial, no lume, a date window, and an automatic movement. No GMT, no chrono, no spring drive, no quartz, no diver, no magnetic shield, etc.

Here is the link:

GRAND SEIKO MASTER MODEL LIST

Here are instructions for using the spreadsheet:

We can eliminate the rows in the table that deal with GMT, Chrono, Spring Drive, Quartz, Diver, Ladies watches, etc.

With the search narrowed down, we ~~eliminate~~ all the models with a cell that's colored in red, because that shows a quality our watch does not possess - such as a strap or black dial.

Is it me?

By: KMII : January 2nd, 2016-03:37

I find the idea behind very good and helpful - have some troubles in the application, though. Been consistently using the model designations since but at best it then appears as Grand Seiko in the little box at the end and never the model number. I can se...

It's not you

By: cazalea : January 2nd, 2016-08:32

I thin it\'s a WatchProSite issue. I need to ask our programming team to enter the entire GS model code list into the site software database. Now that the Master Spreadsheet is fairly stable, I\'ll see if they can do it once the holidays are over. Sorry a...

No problem - was just not sure...

As I know how much fun it is to find new surprises on the site, I wanted to make sure I am not doing it wrong

correction for SBGR011 & Siblings

By: Ir77 : January 10th, 2017-14:24

the bezel is not an octagon one but a dodecagon (12 sided). specific correction to SBGR011, it's in titanium and not stainless steel.

Yes, 12-sided bezel ... Please refer to the correct chart

By: cazalea : January 10th, 2017-15:20

The one you are referring to, in the article above, was constructed just to give some guidance on the intentions of / and how to use the Master Chart. You can find it here: GRAND SEIKO MASTER CHART Cazalea

By siblings, you are also referring to the SBGR013 presumably.

By: anonymous09 : May 26th, 2017-05:03

This model is not Stainless Steel, but in fact 18K White Gold, and has the 12 & 6 Arabic markers.

That's impressive!!!

By: travelller : June 11th, 2017-15:43

It's amazingly useful - thanks for providing us with such a comprehensive DB!!!

How to update the chart?

By: SBGA005 : June 17th, 2017-07:27

Reference SBGA005 is in titanium and was a run of 300.

Thanks for the info - I updated that entry
