Hi-Beat Special SBGH019
I'm delighted to finally have realised the Hi-Beat Special SBGH019, cased in 18K white gold...every detail is executed to perfection...
Welcome and congratulations
That's an excellent yet somewhat unlikely choice for one's very first Grand Seiko.
Have you had others? Can you share a bit of your story in how you came to choose this great watch?
Cheers,

PS - I noticed the shot of my watch this morning is showing almost exactly the time on your watch (although you are 8 hours ahead, as the world turns)
Thank you...
I have been researching and collecting Grand Seiko for a while.
Having long held a fascination for timekeeping precision it was interesting to find this shared by Seiko too.
As such I have a 6186 Hi-Beat VFA, which whilst not perfect isn't in too bad a shape, and two 9F Quartz, which simply cannot be matched for accuracy
I was attracted to the Hi-Beat Special, specifically with the double name dial, as it seems to me like a link to the past, yet in a modern piece.

Something I don't feel the latest VFA release captured.
You will find plenty of Seiko lovers & Seiko accurate watches here
perhaps a few more will chime in.

What model is that cazalea? The dial color and simplicity is just beautiful. [nt]

That's SBGW033 manual wind 9S64 movement from a few years ago
I see you have the 020 in Y/G...
...although there do not seem to be many of these Hi-Beat Specials around.

I guess being the only 3 hand watch able to maintain such a fast oscillation is something they are (justifiably IMO) proud of so I'm okay with it...
