The Ultimate Steel Sports Watch...
About a month ago, I bought SBGE255, which is a wonderful watch. In fact, I love it!
Then I learned about SBGE275. Spring drive. A snowflake-esque dial, exhibition caseback, and an absolutely insane sapphire bezel...basically all the best parts of Grand Seiko, rolled into one watch. Only problem was the 44mm size.
Unfortunately SGBE275 was a limited edition, and a bit more than I was ok spending on.
Of course...I'm browsing the forums one night and an SBGE275 pops up for the lowest price I'd seen, and from a reputable seller.
Pulled the trigger and a few days later...here we are!
The 44mm size is actually completely fine. It wears a bit bigger than SBGE255 for sure, but it's not huge. The thickness is real though. So not quite as comfortable.
With that said, REALLY glad I did this. The bezel is absolutely nuts combined with the dial texture...a complete winner for me.
I tried to capture the dial under a few different types of light. Regular indoor, outside, and harsher indoor lights! Hopefully this illustrates how bananas the dial and bezel are.
The finishing on this watch is nice too, especially at this price point. Very pleasantly surprised!

Gorgeous
Stunning watch. I have the older brother SBGJ237 and was sorely tempted by this when it came out. The white dial looks like it would really prop. Congrats on a great purchase.
Ah awesome!
I came really close to going with SBGJ237 > SBGE255 at first, but I really wanted the spring drive movement. Then I learned about this and the snowflake dial + spring drive had me haha
Now two of us out of 1500
Thanks for taking beautiful pictures of this sublime sports watch. A lot of wrist time and love since I bought it last year ...
Amazing GS!
This was my solution but in all honesty I wish Omega had lumed the bezel! ...
Yup, the SBGE275 is a gorgeous watch and I had to have it. And I too looked at the SBGJ237 first.
The 44mm size I loved. The dial I loved. The colorway I loved. What didn't I like?? The 4 hands. The hour, minute, GMT, and second hands all looked so much alike to my old eyes, I couldn't distinguish them apart to tell the time. Even friends I was with (...
