Seiko

I was so excited when I ordered this watch and now that it has arrived just in the nick of time, I am absolutely ecstatic! I will definitely do a detailed report on it time permitting, it is an absolutely amazing watch, so many details and nuances, probab...  

wear them in good health for years to come !!!!!

I agree that Seiko has a unique way of making Titanium cases - when they are through with them they look like SA but are feather light. The SBGC is also firmly on my radar, not sure it will be the 013, though (probably sold out by then). Enjoy it, as I am... 

aspect but I really find the pushers are too big which unbalance the harmony of the watch IMHO Enjoy it and wear it in good health ! Best Christian

If the Pushers can work on this then they are certainly the same size on the sbgc013 and look amazing in real life Credit: Monochrome Googe Images ...  

aesthetically they are fine, but functionally quite tiny, as I have found when trying to time things spontaneously. And having to unscrew them just accentuates the inconvenience. (and way too small to operate while holding a camera in one's teeth!) Cazale...  

That screw down pushers defeat the purpose of spontaneously timing things. And the WR rating is not such that no other solution was possible. They look nice but... As for being difficult to operate with a camera held by ones teeth, that was the statement ...

But yes, these two would work very, very well for me Some day (2016?) one will be mine!

Glad you're here with us GSGs Grand Seiko Guys LooooL HNY

Such a gorgeous and beautiful watch! Although I must admit I am a bit biased! Lolz ...  

I can see where the bias could creep in

But alas I fear I may have a problem or sickness It\'s not like me to have three similar watches (nt)

Any special reason? And is there a favorite amongst the three?

When the GS poison infected me but slowly I came undone after my first one or two, and the GS collection grew. My first was the sbga031, followed by the sbga001. Probably after I spent time reading numerous GS posts from Cazalea, KIH, SJX and Bernard Cheo... 

Can see how it can happen, got my first one (SBGX097) in September and the next one (SBGH035) soon after. Very fascinating watches

Like one of the car magazines ! Depth for diving, 0-60 mph, fuel economy (running time per wind), etc. Where are you located, Blackthought? Cazalea ...  

Lets do it

Source: WatchTime October 2001 Rolex is +-2 Seconds per Day VS. Source: +-10 Seconds per month, that would make it .33 seconds per day So Round 1 goes to the Grand Seiko SBGC013 S ...  

Cazalea, I\'m located in sunny, hot and humid Singapore!

And post more pics, this thread needs more pics!!

Btw how did u resize your bracelet? I need to get some proper tools to remove the pins. ...  

Cazalea (you can always sell one of the Chronographs to me, if you can't stand having three) ...  

Yes sir you don\'t know how many times I have read and re-read your posts and saved your pictures! I love your unbridled passion for Seiko! Yes I am actually looking for a good home for my Sbgc001! Best regards, clem

I just got these two with the watch, I have a feeling something is missing, what did you get with yours? S ...  

I think Seiko decided it's a waste of paper as they are all darn near perfect, and it would take months of running to vary a second or two.

Yes those are the docs that I got too. As Cazalea pointed out, the timing cert is for mechanicals only

Not a GS, but on the wrist of a gal assembling the 9R86 Spring Drive movements. Cazalea ...  

I do love thee so ...  

...  

...  

but i always wonder about the size, especially the thickness -- how does it sit on the wrist? i'm assuming that unless you have proportionally large wrists this watch will be very high for a formal type of work wear and most likely not fit under standard ... 

And will fit under any shirt, refer to my wrist shot above

If you don\'t have them custom made my experience has been the following (do not have an SBGC but tried in on at Vienna Time and it was almost the same as my LUC Chrono One): - with single cuffs it should work with most, some Italian shirt makers may cut ... 

If you notice these two watches, the SBGB001 & SBGB003 have small pushers and they are 14mm tall instead of 16mm tall for the rest of the GS Chronos. In addition, the dials look much cleaner. The difference is that these two OMIT the GMT hand and mark...
