I've owned both...
Several models of the Datejust and only one of GS... SBGR321. I love the Datejust 36mm... The GS was very nice but my only gripe was the thickness.

The GS dial and accuracy was great but it was the thickness that I decided to sell it eventually.

Have had 2x of both…
I’ve owned SBGE255 and SBGE275 from Grand Seiko. Own a 2024 Rolex Datejust on jubilee with fluted bracelet in 36mm and had an older one before from the last gen with hidden clasp. The Grand Seikos were definitely better made from the dial perspective and ...
Owned both, sold both
previously owned: 1. rolex datejust 36mm, black dial with roulette date 116234 2. SBGK005 elegance collection No issue with accuracy for both, but I much prefer the manual winding experience of the grand seiko Build quality equally great, I'd argue the GS...
