i can see the benefit...
i can see the benefit of spring drive if its your
only watch, worn all the time, which is what its designed for, but i'm
wondering whether i would appreciate the benefit as it will be one of several
watches and for the length of time i'd wear it a 15 sec +/- would be more than
acceptable.

at the moment my purists mind is coming down in
favour of a fully mechanical GS for its build quality.

after all i have a few accutrons which do the full
sweep second thing and keep perfect time when worn, but i never wear
them.

Review of the Grand Seiko GMT SBGM003
This is an in-depth review of the Grand Seiko SBGM003 GMT automatic with ivory dial. The Grand Seiko GMT SBGM003 By Su JiaXian I first encountered this watch several years ago when a notable personality on this website acquired one; he posted some excelle...
I am inspired
Thinking of making a trip to Tokyo to get one. Does the date adjust backwards like the Rolex GMT?
Thank you, SJX
Makes for an interesting read - clearly a very well made watch. I fall into the camp you hint at, wishing that most of the writing on the dial were not there ... Cheers, Dirk
You might be even more irked
by the fact that there are three different fonts used on the dial. THREE! - SJX
the fonts ...
... indeed, might irk the Dirk ... it is but a minor distraction, and somehow the "GS" font in particular makes this all the more Japanese =)
My first post here and it is on a Seiko - Love the Seikos -
Hello! A great post - thank you for taking the time to do it! I am a big Seiko fan - more so as of late. Last month I purchase the SBDX003 Seiko Prospek "Sumo" - 200m amazing watch. I bought it for just fun but I have to say - it rivals my old SMP 2531.80...
Thanks, SJX.
I too, own the SBGM003. Love the look, quality and color. I love light or cream colored dials and they way this watch is crafted, it is hard to beat. I walked into a Rolex retailer, looking at the YachtMaster in platinum and the sales guy exclaimed, "Is t...
I'm a believer.
Thanks very much for the report, and the wonderfulpictures! I just couldn't be a bigger fan of Grand Seiko. I've yet to see one i didn't love.
by coincidence theres an interesting article on FHH about Seiko GS, Credor
and Spring Drive. http://journal.hautehorlogerie.org/en/from-our-correspondents/tokyo/fine-watchmaking-in-japan.html SJX, is the spring drive any more accurate than the conventional GS. the details i've read seems that it should be due to its electronic b...
The Spring Drive is more accurate
Its regulator spins at a much higher beat than a mechanical, and it is regulated by a small circuit. I can't remember the exact figure, but its monthly variation is significantly less than a mechanical. Something worth nothing is the movement of the secon...
