Yup, that IS the problem....
... a guy sitting next to me who works with me - an avid watch lover and a collector of high-end watches - always says he WANTS to own a Grand Seiko or two, but the DESIGN does not get there to attract his attention, even most from my vintage collection. But he really likes this combination, even though his wrist is even smaller than mine, and he asked me to find one for him (a tough job!). Also he likes my all blued hands 047, as well as the SS Grand Seiko first. See? The avid watch lovers like what SEIKO doesn't sell in the stock form. That says something. But they don't listen anyway :-(

With this watch you are unlikely to feel blue ;)
Really like it and it\'s nice to see a wrist shot. Do I remember correctly that the case is 42mm, making it one of the larger GSs? How does it wear? The blue strap complements it very well, too!
Yes, it is 42mm...
.. and I kinda wish it were a bit smaller. BUT, with this navy blue leather strap, total balance is much better. I am glad I changed it from bracelet to this aftermarket strap Now this has become one of my daily beaters! Ken
Great choice!
Thought that it did not come on a strap as standard. But it complements it very well - hope GS gets a bit more adventurous with strap choices at some point

Very nice watch Ken
I had assumed that the relatively large case would be too big but it looks great on your wrist. Congrats on a fine piece. Regards Ian
Yeah, maybe too big... but with lug tip curbs down, it fits all right.
My wrist is merely 16.5mm, so this one may be a bit large side. But with this thick nave strap, all worries go away. It became a really cool watch! Ken
Congratulations Ken
What a surprise to see this modern GS on your wrist. I could not imagine you would choose this one. It seems to fit perfectly on your wrist, despite case size. The patern on dial does not seem to be so visible. As usual this GS dial is very subtle, very c...
Well, to be honest....
I found out about the size after I made pre-order Just liked the color and no-date simplicity. And I kinda knew it would go quite well with the nave leather strap more than the standard bracelet. Great color dial, and no-date is really a "bonus" ) Ken
The good news is . . .
. . . the SBGR097 was too large for me to consider*. The bad news is that it's probably a harbinger of a classically sized model to come. Can you imagine GS 44 with a similar blue (or urushi black) dial? That would be a must-have. Art * We share the same ...
Couldn't agree more...
.. the case of the 44GS, 45GS and alike - that is one of the most beautiful cases out there. And yeah, blue dial? That would be really really nice.... A killer, indeed. I normally don't like larger than 40mm watches, but some don't wear too big on my wris...
Very nice GS Ken!
Love the blue dial on this one 42mm but doesn\'t look big on you. I think the dark dial makes the watch looks slightly smaller too Congrats on having this my friend Cheers Robin
Well, as always, just an impulse purchase :-)
I missed 50th GS, I missed other major anniversary edition, so I decided to go for it when my AD contacted me about this. I didn't even ask about the size and voila The size is still a bit large side, but with nice matching color after market strap, all o...
