The Grand Seiko SBGH035 - still my favorite GS ⏱️⚖️🇯🇵
My second Grand Seiko was the grail piece I badly wanted since I first saw it on WPS sometime in 2014. It took me till late 2015 IIRC (so over 10 years ago) to finally find one - the series was produced in 300 pieces and few came to Europe. In hindsight a hint of a year feels laughably short but back then it was the longest I have had 😂
I have written about it many a time here so no need to repeat this - it remains a watch that continues sparking joy every time it’s worn. It’s in many ways a GADA watch - on a somber black strap it can be used formally and on a NATO at the pool (unlike what Emmanuel Oates the other day this still has a 100m WR rating even without a screw down crown).
And it’s the first modern steel Special GS, with a more finely regulated meeting, a unique dial and the lion medallion on the rotor.
I believe one or two others here have one but it’s certainly not the most common GS.
In case you have one, what’s your favorite GS?
I absolutely love the dial pattern!
My favorite GS are probably:
- the SLGW005
- and the “Imperial V.F.A.” ref. 4580-7020 (same 45GS case)
- but also the First GS ref. J14070
- and the Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary ref. SBGZ005 (same First GS case)
Best, Emmanuel
Your first and last choice sing most to me 😊👍🏻👌🏻
All four are exquisite but I know that I would probably wear the modern ones more 😊
What is so nice about these modern
iterations is that they’re every bit as appealing as the older ones, but with all the advantages of a modern watch and movement… 🤩
This is a Legendary GS Reference ❤️ along with the SBGW047
My Current favorite GS is the SBGW295G

I figured this would be anything but an easy choice for you 😁😉
And you have an astounding selection to choose from 🙌🏻👍🏻
Your god of regulation vintage TV screen one is one I would like to add at some point, especially after seeing Art’s live 😊👌🏻

I believe Ken organized it back in the day for Mike and Art if I recall correctly 😊👍🏻
