this could and most likely will be the tipping point towards me acquiring my first ever GS I can't wait to do so on soon. Thanks again for sharing. Must agree that it is quite a photogenic piece!

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...

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...
