you had me at platinum and that too from Grand Seiko
but totally agree.. the movement was a low point for me too.. nothing special about it. not clear from the pictures, but does it have better movement finishing than the usual man produced one.. if yes, I would have assumed they give it a new movement designation... so now I assume its the usual movement finishing. also the case back sapphire has text on it, why oh why? its annoying.
The Grand Seiko Paris Vendôme Limited Edition
This is reference SBGK011 , a limited edition of 10 pieces created to celebrate the opening of the Grand Seiko Boutique in Paris in 2020 , at 7 Place Vendôme . It was the first boutique of the Japanese brand in continental Europe and its largest one in th...
Marvelous! Love the special details — the paving stones dial and the coloration of the seconds hand (and strap).
I am also a bit surprised that GS never had a boutique on the continent until 2020!
I was surprised too.
I read this information on Sjx: https://watchesbysjx.com/2020/06/grand-seiko-paris-vendome-limited-edition.html?amp=1 I like this edition too. But I wish the case was 37 mm… Best, Emmanuel
My pleasure. I agree with you.
The difficult part is to find one with only 2 x 10 pieces! Best, Emmanuel
Looks good
It's an interesting design although I agree with yoir assessment. Going on looks alone, the case seems a bit large. The dial is very cool but a bit busy and nkt harmonious. Interesting but there are GS version that are better executed in my opinion.
The dial is ok for me, but the case size not so much...
I prefer my SLGW005, even if, as you say, this one is interesting... Best, Emmanuel
I find that dial very attractive, Emmanuel !
I'm glad that the power-reserve indicator is visually balanced here by the small seconds display (unlike on many other GS references, where the sense of symmetry is thrown off by the PR).

I agree with you on all counts!
It's the ordinary movement, unfortunately, and I don't like the text on the sapphire caseback either. Best, Emmanuel
Agreed on the case size and movement 👍🏻
But also like the small seconds hand, dial and extra strap references to the place it is meant to celebrate 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
