Thanks as always
For some reason and although I understand the appeal of spring drive, including the wonderful gliding second hand, I fail to connect emotionally with it.
Mystic Waterfall
The 44GS ref. SBGZ011 is a 50-piece limited edition created for the Grand Seiko Masterpiece Collection by the Micro Artist Studio . The case and dial, inspired by the Tateshina Waterfall , are hand-engraved with lines running in multiple directions , inte...
A perfect match for the giant bottle I’ve been dying to open
A bit over the top (and no doubt my budget) but I still like it. Plus you wouldn’t have to worry about minor scratches … Mike ...
A perfect match indeed! Cheers!
I like it too, definitely (and I like your sense of humour: the scratches ;-) ) Best, Emmanuel
Certainly one I appreciate for the craftsmanship 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
But not of a style that I would personally feel comfortable with wearing 😊🤷🏻♂️ And huge congratulations on reaching 18.000 posts 👏🏻🎉🎊🎈
The style is very decorative,
but I would definitely live with it if I had the chance to own one! 😊 Thank you for the 18k: I saw them coming at some point but finally forgot about them ! 🌸
Surely a beauty and art piece!
I like that the case is part of the whole and integrated into the dial concept! I hope this kind of style will be replicated by others, not specifically this, but a more integrated way of dial and case! 👍🏻🤩
Yes, I see what you mean and I don’t know
if any other brand does this. GS has done a previous iteration which is very close in style, but I think I prefer this one. Best, Emmanuel
I won’t, but I’d be happy if one of these
GS would agree to live with me ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Yes, this ref. SBGZ001 for the 20th Anniversary of Spring Drive is very nice too.
Do I prefer its snowflake dial to the waterfall one? Well, it's clearly a little more subtle, yes. I covered all these Micro Artist Studio creations in this post: www.watchprosite.com Best, Emmanuel
It's ref. SBGZ001 for the 20th Anniversary of Spring Drive. Very nice too.

Nice post...I really am drawn to old-school (style) Grand Seiko dress watches...
...the textured Platinum is my favorite...
I like some case engravings
Would be a good artistry to have in the collection. For this one, I’m not a fan.
I understand.

I have had some tooled GS & Credor
I got this from a friend on a multi-year loan. But the boys on this site didn’t like the day/date feature. So I removed it (Photoshop) It did look better but when it came to “making a deal” I couldn’t UNSEE the day/date and passed on buying the watch. On ...
Both are very nice, if you ask me.
I'm not too much into openwork but this Credor looks really good. It just lacks some sharp inward angles, maybe. And I personally prefer the Day/Date with the DD: it's part of its personality. And it looks quite nice too. Best, Emmanuel
Wonderful pictures
I would be curious to see how it would look in a more urban night background such as a nightclub dance floor, I think it would do quite well it that setting which makes it very interesting as a grand seiko. The engraving is exquisite, I think I may have a...
The SBGZ001, shown above by mdg is also more subdued.

Yes, real beauty!
GS has made a few other engraved refs. which look nice too: www.watchprosite.com Best, Emmanuel
A marvelous piece!
The engraving work is stunning, artistic and kind of reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night.
