Beauty, Champ!
You're right about that strap being a bit long. But it too is beautifully made and supple. Are you getting another strap from Seiko, if I may ask?
Thank you my friend!
You are spot on. The original is super soft and beautiful. I thought that the boutique possibly sold me an extra long strap because my wrist is larger than average. Thanks for your input👍
Exact same problem for me with the strap of the SLGW005.
I still have to see if I can get a shorter OEM one, and brown rather than black. A bit like this one!
Yes, the whole line is wonderful.
The titanium/blue doesn’t appeal to me personally, but I understand why others like it of course.

Beautiful pieces and a wonderful summary, thanks for preparing / sharing !
Among them, the platinum REF. SBGW039 is my favorite.
I'm glad to own one of the pieces there,from 2001, the REF. SBGW004.
Lucky you! the SBGW004 is a wonderful timepiece, imo.
Concerning the SBGW039, I miss the Special Dial logo under the Diashock text, personally.

oops, I got my ref # wrong -- my fave among them = SBGW257
Gotta love that engraved "Grand Seiko" on the dial !
My SBGW004 is a lovely piece, but alas, at 36mm, a too small for my current tastes to see significant wrist time.
Too bad for your SBGW004!
I completely agree with you concerning the SBGW257: the carved logo is wonderful!
Thank you for this series, sorry I am late
SBGW033
So many Grand Seikos,
“so little time!”
Etc… and the Credors?
Sadly Snowflake is in the “repair” box 😢

It’s a wonderful collection you have here!
I like the SBGW033 very much.
Would love to find an original J14070 someday.
I hope the Snowflake will get a service: are you doing it yourself ?
Thanks for sharing.

No, it will go to Seiko in New Jersey
Yo Japan if they deem it necessary. I packed it up then forgot to mail it, and rediscovered it recently on my workbench. I know, shame on me, but I have been distracted with other things.
Hopefully, you’ll get it back
working well not too long after you have sent it!
I wish your watch a quick recovery ! ;-)

Thanks so much for collating all of the modern reissues 👌🏻👍🏻
Had no idea they were quite so many (one misses the odd one these days 😂🤷🏻♂️). While the Micro Artist one has to be my overall favorite I do prefer the earlier, 35,8mm ones to the slightly larger later ones in terms of case size. Definitely a line to eventually add to the collection 😊🤞🏻
I agree that the Micro Artist is in a range of its own.
And I would personally like to find an OG, J14070, with both the "chronometer" writing and the Special Dial logo.
Maybe someday!
