More of what we have been asking for from GS. Thanks Mike

I agree Mike and I know you are a HUGE Grand Seiko fan. Thank you. [nt]

I think your SBGY002 onlong with the SBGY003 and the amazing SBGZ001 are all absolutely stunning - I WILL have one in my collection at some point . GS at its best :) [nt]

My KS44 will have to do until then : ...  

And you absolutely should! [nt]

And thank you! [nt]

..especially the second picture is nicely captured

Thank you sir. Just an iPhone pic. Not really very good. [nt]

The warmth (if thats a word in english) of this picture does justice to this watch [nt]

 
 By: @lberti : November 9th, 2020-10:57

It is indeed a word! And I understand what you mean. Thanks. [nt]

Bid congrats! Manual spring drive, no date, classic case and dial! WOW.

Any picture of the back?

Here's the 9R31 movement in Ed's watch

 
 By: cazalea : November 9th, 2020-10:25
And the patented system that uses excess mainspring energy to magically rewind itself and thus extend the running time. Cazalea ...  

Thanks! What an amazing movement! [nt]

The torque return system is only used in the 9R02 and not the 9R31 which is the movement in my watch. The two platinum watches use the higher end movement. [nt]

Oops, sorry I misread the GS page [nt]

 
 By: cazalea : November 9th, 2020-14:59

Thanks very much. I see Cazaela posted the movement. [nt]

 
 By: edtonkin : November 9th, 2020-10:46

Yes, I real feast for the eye! [nt]

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2020-11:54

This is what I think of as Japanese understatement...

...luxury without the flashiness. Beauty.

Thank you and I agree! [nt]

GS dials and finishing are second to none!

Enjoy and thx for sharing! -D-

One of the best Grand Seiko . [nt]

 
 By: Watchlover78 : November 9th, 2020-18:36

My word! That is utterly fantastic! Thanks for sharing that beauty! [nt]

A truly superb piece

 
 By: KMII : November 9th, 2020-23:43
I like the direction they have been going recently, with more of the PRs hidden at the back (where they belong IMHO), somewhat thinner watches, exciting new movements... Nice shots!

I second this, it’s a direction I really appreciate too and will most likely end in me taking the plunge on a modern GS. [nt]

One of the finest iterations of Grand Seiko's work with dials. See how nice it looks without that power reserve indicator? [nt]
