Horological Meandering

Hi, Folks, I like to share with you my lastest purchase, the newly released Grand Seiko SBGM009 GMT, a similar with cream dial model was released few years ago.  This model has steel bracelet with black color dial; and it is priced about the same as the early cream dial model.  Been wanting to wear this in the past few days but my Discus Burger is taking up all the wrist time.

Any chance for a wristshot and caseback pic?

Would love to get one myself one day. Just like you, my seiko burger is hogging my wrist time currently.

Cheers,

. . . congratulations on your new acquisition. One of my friends just purchased a Grand Seiko, and has pretty much stopped wearing his PP and GP for the time being . . . that speaks volumes to me. Cordially, Art

Try looking through a GS with a 10X loupe and you will know what I am talking about.  I can't remeber the last time I wore my L1 or PP.  And for the not so popular Seiko Spring Drive models, I am a big fan of them.  Here are two to share, hope you like them.  Thank you.

on Seiko, here on PuristSPro.

Many of the Malaysian PuristS on a recent "educational trip to Singapore" also wore Seiko.

I prefer the new black dial on this GMT watch; one of my two favourite "complications" - so useful for travelling.

Thanks for sharing,

A 6217-7000 from the 1960s, waiting a new cities ring (if I can ever find one) and then a  good servicing.

 

Seiko are great.

Seiko is offering some real attractive pieces both with a moder and a classic feel.

Thanks for sharing.

That's just a beautiful watch.

Sorry, I couldn't help it!
Jimmy and I swapped this watch in a freeway off-ramp petrol station meeting.
Then he came to his senses, but it was too late!

A few weeks ago I bought a German watch from a guy at a freeway off-ramp petrol station too!

GS black dial? Somehow I cannot recall seeing any other watch with a dial as black as the GS black. I have a worrying sensation my next GS may be a black dialed one!

Hi, Jimmy, great watch! I have its brother, SBGM001.  It occupies most of my wrist time.

 

   

I've got the cream colored dial, same as SJX, on its way to me. Should arrive in a few days. My discus will arrive tomorrow. When I first set my eyes on them, I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor. It was, is, an amazing watch.

I was never much of a Seiko fan but it seems Seiko has really been progressing in leaps and bounds in their watch technology. Their craftsmanship appears to be top notch or, at the very least, enough to make the "Big Boys" take notice! I'm thinking that I need to get more into Seiko BEFORE everyone starts buying them up thereby having Seiko increase their prices. LOL

Any "cons" that you've noticed about your GS?

Bob

The only gripe I have, albeit a minor one, is that the text on the caseback would look better if it was done in a serif font and engraved deeper, rather than the laser engraving found on the watch now.

You have excellent taste by the way. ;-)

my wishlist has GS on it in big letters its just a matter of when i can afford one and in which order i want to complete the wish list. i love the gmt master style SBGM001, but might just end up with the SBGR031 as its a 39.2mm classic style. my burger has been on my right wrist for the last week. left wrist the week before.

 isnt it great that within 6 weeks a lot of us have gone from wearing a wide variety of pieces and are now wearing burgers. do Seiko put some sort of sub conscious telepathic 'buy me' phrase in their adverts          if they do its worked on us.

lovely watch Jimmy

I'm looking forward to receiving my GS. I wish it had an exhibition back on it, though.

Bob
BTW, you've got great taste, too! LOL
