Blomman Mr Blue shares his initial impressions of the Grand Seiko SBGH035, a watch belonging to fellow collector KMII, after a close encounter in Vienna. His post highlights the exquisite details and finish that left a strong first impression, marking a significant moment in his appreciation for Grand Seiko.
Friends,
One of the watches I had the privilege to see in Vienna was KMII’s Grand Seiko SBGH035.
This was my first close encounter with a GS and I must admit I was impressed!
Very nicely done details. Guilloche dial, applied indexes and heated blue seconds hand.
The nice finish also applies on the back!
And here you find the Gold Lion medallion of the rotor.
Happy one year to KMII and his Grand Seiko SBGH035!
Thank you for letting me discover this one.
Best
Blomman
