45GS

The 45GS case design , with its finely brushed shouldered lugs , sloping case flanks and subtle “ rounded ” angularity , is one of my favorite . Have a great Sunday you all! Best, Emmanuel Grand Seiko Heritage Collection SLGW005

My favorite GS are probably: the SLGW005 and the “Imperial V.F.A.” ref. 4580-7020 (same 45GS case) but also the First GS ref. J14070 and the Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary ref. SBGZ005 (same First GS case) Best, Emmanuel

Wishing everyone a great day! Best, Emmanuel Grand Seiko Heritage Collection 45GS Recreation ref. SLGW005

With my SLGW005 : the overall design of the 45GS is wonderful. Best to you all, Emmanuel

I had to pull out mine for the occasion! Cheers, Emmanuel

While several members are rightly happy with the modern re-edition - and it has been high time for Grand Seiko to look at the 45GS and make an appropriate modern hand wound movement for it, I am likewise enjoying the historical grandfather - the 4520-8000

Did you have the display caseback retrofitted? Here’s my 4520-8000 saying hi 👋🏻

I'm completely in love with this piece. I love the 45GS case and I'm so happy to own the SLGW005, which is a wonderful recreation. But of course, the Imperial crest and the patina on the dial of this particular watch bring the whole thing to grail level.

This Seiko ref. 4580-7020 is usually called the “Imperial V.F.A.” (short for “Very Fine Adjusted”). Its dial features, at 12 o'clock , the Imperial crest of Japan or Chrysanthemum crest (菊紋, kikumon ): a circular flower comprising a front set of 16 petals

A few weeks ago, thanks to a friend whom I thank wholeheartedly, this little marvel, the Grand Seiko ref. SLGW005 , found its unexpected way into my collection. THE 45GS Our dear KMII made a terrific post concerning the source of inspiration for this watc
