For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
Up for your consideration is this spectacular SBGC001 Spring Drive GMT Chronograph from Grand Seiko. This is among the finest mechanical chronographs in the world today. The caliber 9R86 Spring Drive GMT chrono has over 416 separate parts (All assembled by hand), 185 oiling points, 50 jewels, power reserve of 72 hours, vertical clutch engagement system and accuracy rated to -/+1 seconds a day. Spring Drive movements typically report far better accuracy than the official SEIKO estimate.
The watch also features a fully independent set hour hand, which makes it useful when travelling or to make simple adjustments for daylight savings time. The hour hand can be set without having to stop or hack the movement.
The watch was originally purchased new by me from authorized US based Grand Seiko dealer. The watch is brand new in box (BNIB). It has never been worn or sized. Still has all its original protecting plastics and hang tag in place.
It comes with all instruction manuals, Spring Drive booklet, 3 - year warranty card . Original boxes with all the trimmings are part of the deal.
