Thank you.
Hello Graham,
Thank you for your reply, and for posting pictures of your Grand Seiko watches.
As you say, there is indeed a clear aesthetic lineage between the old and new GS models. This is one of the reasons why I like the SBGW001 - it enjoys the benefits of modern watchmaking, but also remains true to its classic styling roots. Of course there is still something special about a genuine vintage watch, so perhaps I will investigate some early Grand and King Seikos watches. However, I'm not sure if I'm keen about the thick lugs just yet. Perhaps it is an acquired taste.
Thanks again.
Grand Seiko SBGW001: A Review
Hello, Thank you for choosing to read my review of the Grand Seiko SBGW0001. This will be my first post on PuristSPro, but my reticence is not out of a lack of appreciation. I very much enjoy reading the learned discussion both here and on the other brand...
Crescendo, firstly welcome to the forum. i have 3 Grand seiko's. 2 vintage and 1 modern

A stellar review of one of my favorite watches . . .
. . . which happens to be on my very short future acquisition list. Here's a photo of Mike's GS on my wrist, taken at dusk last July (the background is the hood of a Mercedes) . . . . . . which illustrates the magnifying effect of a white dial on my equal...
Bravo! That sets the standard for a watch review!
Not only that, I love the conclusion, and already own the watch. And I know Dr. No agrees with me (as shown in him posting his arm) One correction; your last movement shot shows a gold GS watch with snap back, and that's not correct for the watch you are ...
What a terrific review!
Great watch...great post. Some shots of the sister (SBGW005)...
grand Seiko movement on U tube
the 9S67 movement is shown in detail in this video. However, it is a CAD video and not the actual movement. But is quite interesting. However, it is in Japanese. so I suggest skipping to the 5:10 time stamp and watching the rest with only music. But the f...

Thank you for a splendid read. First-rate review!
I really enjoyed your detailed review. I stumbled upon it in midst of a Google-search for Grand Seiko tang buckle ; one of my best side-tracks, ever. Your photos are splendid. The SBGW001 should be the benchmark for clarity of design. Lacking your patienc...
