My one and only Seiko/Grand Seiko
Hi all,
New to the Seiko board.
The first non-toy watch I bought myself was a Seiko back in early 90s, but I didn't have a Seiko (or any other Japanese watch other than a G-Shock) in my collection during my adult years. As someone with a Japanese heritage, I wanted to fix that. 
I first got an SBGW235 during my trip to Japan and I loved it. I loved it oh so much that I really wanted to get a SEIKO branded one. Enter SBGW005. I just love that quirky branding, "Grand Seiko" being applied instead of painted like 035/235 (they do look great, too!), and again, the fact that it is a Seiko.
Just wanted to say hi to the folks on the Seiko board.
Cheers!
Great, great watch
I particularly like the combination with the strap you put it on. Grey straps are great, and often overlooked. Very smart.
Love these straps
Thanks! They are Made by Jean Rousseau in collaboration with Theo & Harris. I thought the subtle creamy tone of this watch would work well with the French Grey ish straps, and I am liking the combo very much.
Jean Rousseau are great
Good value for money, too. I've had several made by them over the past 15 years.
Agreed!
I recently picked up another one from their atelier while visiting Tokyo. Although it was a non-bespoke stock item, the staff put special cuts for quick release on my vintage Patek while I waited. Great service and the price is right.
Official welcome!
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Seiko/Grand Seiko/Credor etc. forum.
Nice choice of watch (Iām biased), and interesting strap too.
Mine is on the boring old bracelet...
We look forward to hearing more about your interest in watches.
Cheers,
Cazalea

Thanks very much the welcome, Cazalea
I love the bracelet, too. I'm usually not a bracelet guy, and especially not a big fan of modern ones (I'm one of those actually liking vintage old folded bracelets), but this BoR bracelet is extremely comfortable, super easy to put on and looks really great. It's extra nice as GS really use this bracelet on 005, 035, 235 series only as far as I can tell.
Welcom and huge Congrats with your beautiful GS .
Love that strap and dail combo šš»
