Belated new watch alert - Grand Seiko SLGW005 (45GS remake)
Hi everyone, I haven’t posted for a loooooooong time! Glad to be back this weekend In recent months, I got “rebitten” by the GS bug. Sharing a belated incoming post. I got this GS SLGW005 in Dec 2024, the remake of the legendary 45GS. This is a home run f...
Thanks ! I was also offered the SBGY035 autumn
At the same time I got this SLGW005. Both are nice but I chose the iconic 45GS remake . With limited budget, I couldn’t choose both! But when I saw these autumn scenes in Japan, I did think of the SBGY035 again lol
I came close to buying that watch in Copenhagen last November.
He is a photo I took at GS AD. ...
That dial is awesome!
I have some regrets not getting it and asked again lately but it’s all sold out in Singapore. However, the GS boutique managed to get me another “NOS” spring drive watch which I will share later.
Thanks ! Yes it’s a PR indicator at the back
It’s 3 days of PR - only 3 marks to indicate that I believe.
This is a solid offering from GS..
Look at the movement, it offers so much in terms of aesthetics and technology.
Thanks ! Indeed I love this movement
Finished really well for the price point and a step up for GS (of course they charge more for references with their newer movements). Dual impulse escapement and that wagtail bird clicking when winding the watch makes winding this watch a joy
Thank you ! There should be more models
Using this movement in time to come I believe. Hope you get to see it and try winding it
Looking good!
Congrats! A watch that will go well with a variety of different straps, as you have shown. Enjoy! 🍻
lovely GS
is that maple leaves in Kyoto in one of the photos? must be a spectacular view.
Yes maple leaves in Kyoto indeed when I was there last Dec
I have more pics and can share more next time Cheers Robin
This is really a great GS.
I dedicated a thread to it here . Congratulations ! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you Emmanuel!
Stunning pics you shared in your thread ! Thanks for sharing . The yellow gold version is super nice alas out of my budget.
Simple face, real stealth watch, you turn it over and bam - total knock out
Enjoy it, such a beauty
It’s very stealthy indeed!
Looks like any other Seikos from afar, which is part of the charm. Indeed the caseback is amazing. Thank you
Totally wonderful =)
GS at its finest. The case, the movement, and the dial being the 'cherry on the cake'.... It's been said so many times, but Seiko always delivers more for less, regardless of the price point you happen to be invested into at any point in time. I am thorou...
Thanks Filip !
Glad to be back I’m glad you are enjoying your Astron ! I also collect some Presages and they are all great value for their dials and craftsmanship.
Astron in grade 5 titanium
Hi, may I know which Astron model is in grade 5 titanium, thanks.
That's a great GS, with the brand's most attractive movement to date.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
I also feel this is GS’s most attractive movement to date!
And technically interesting too. Thank you !
Hey Robin, good to see you back.
And yes, that GS is a winner (home run) in my mind too. I’ve seen it a few times and have been super tempted. I have managed to restrain myself however (trying to be more disciplined these last few years).
Home run indeed ! Thank you
lol so you are tempted too. Hope you will get one too and join me
Happy you like this release too
Yes it’s indeed a release last year that caught my attention. Thank you 🙏
