Picked this up about a month ago. Never thought I’d buy a quartz but this changed my mind.

The specs says +- 10 secs a year. That's quite awesome.

Similar to your comment. Personally, the (9F?) gs quartz is one of my favourite Also, the design struck me as very divisive. I was initially on the fence for this, but over time I realized I really like this combi. It's very fresh. And this orange blue is... 

I am sure I did, Ken.

Actually, I have been on a Seiko craze the past couple of months. I got a Mini Turtle (4r movement) and a SARB 033 (6r movement) recently. It makes me re-think my watch collecting. Ian

From your picture it looks like the Samurai one from the top perspective. And a GS quartz is very unlike other quartz watches. Love my SBGX097 and it’s almost Atom clock accurate - less than a second deviation per year Congratulations on your latest addit... 

Not 100% sure...

But I recon it will last you between two and three years. The motor needs a lot more torque than conventional quartz watches, as the hands are much heavier than is usual for a quartz.

Little wonder! A distinctive—really handsome—case shape. And as the moderator also points out, amazingly accurate.

I wouldn't be surprised if the watch comes in substantially under the advertised rate, as many individuals report far greater accuracy—depending on wearing habits. But that strap! The whole thing just comes together magnificently. Good show! Well done! I'... 

Thanks FH. The ref. is SBGV247.

You need to move fast if you want one. It's a LE of 1000 pcs. It's a JDM but many overseas AD have managed to export it. There's a thread devoted to this watch on watchuseek. Regards, Ian
