SBGM027
I remember a WIS friend once said GS is a "slow burner". I did not quite understand him then but I now completely agree with him!
Because, just when I thought that I have had enough Seiko's in my collection and that I need to indulge myself with different brands, different shapes and sizes, different types of complications, etc then this piece came along and destroyed my plan.
I assure you I am not a Seiko Enthusiast only because I adore JLC and aspire for other brands too but I just can't resist to something like this
or this
and this!
and when I explored its details further under my macro lens, I completely felt weak in my knees! How can anyone possibly resist such a temptation! I know I can't!
I am pretty sure the ones who love Rolex (I do too) will not like the idea of putting the two together, but I just can't help doing that knowing a friend of mine owning this piece
One may say the 16570 is the inspiration for the GS SBGM027, I will go for the latter in a heartbeat, without any hesitation at all, and I will do it again and again!
By the way, this is my first!
Now that I think I have had enough Grand Seiko, I will go and hunt for the one that I aspire 
. Who knows? Maybe another GS will come along and destroy my plan again!
Thanks for watching!

What is enough?
Grand Seikos do what they do, which is to build the perfect watch to tell time, and sometimes the date and a second time zone, so well. They don't stray from the functions they believe in as is evident when looking through the GS catalogs. Your pictures h...
Great photography and all true
GS watches are mind boggling to the hair's breath detail. Your photos really capture how sculpted these pieces are, and how unrelenting GS is with quality.
What a beautiful GS GMT!
I can see how it spolit your plans! :) Great photography as your photos bring out the best of the watch. The case, dial, hands and movement are all top notch. Thanks for sharing PhuongPham Cheers Robin
Fully agreed with everyone's comments . . .
. . . about the quality of your images. I can attest to the difficulty of photographing black Seikos . . . . . . from personal experience. I took over fifty snaps yesterday at dusk and this morning at dawn, and still wasn't able to capture a reflection-fr...
Viewing your lovely pictures,
if I were someone who doesn't know a thing about watches, I would take the SBGM027 over the 16570.
Thank you, Luis6.
I hope you would said the other way round :). Anyhow, I would not be surprised if most will choose Rolex over Grand Seiko.
Sorry, I should also stated that as a watch lover myself,
I would also choose the GS out of this two.
Don't worry, No problem.
We all love these beautiful timepieces, that's the most important thing! ^_^
Black-dialed Grand Seiko
Your watch is beautiful, and your pictures expose its beauty perfectly. The case sculpture and reflections demand careful observation. Thanks for showing us this watch. As Art commented, it\'s very hard to get a good photo, free or reflection (and dust). ...
Wow! Thank you for the kind comments!
Your photos are also very beautiful! In fact, they are much more natural than mine :)
Rolex forum is not going to be happy but...
Here goes anyway. Seiko looks like a million bucks and the Rolex looks unremarkably average!
SBGM001
That's very nice indeed! I have the original version, the SBGM001 I've never understood why the discontinued it, but I'm glad they brought it back in a similar style. ...
